What type of medal are you offering?
It is a precious metal medal?
Yep, I've got a new in box Z700 that is just waiting for the right offer. Someone someday, or maybe no one ever, will want to unbox this relic. But at least there is still an opportunity out there for that person!
I agree that they are woefully overengineered and underperforming for the most part, and clearly the self-flogging filter turns out to be it's largest flaw. I can testify that the filter becomes stinky after a few months of use and that musty smell permeates the room every time you use it going forward.. an untold horror by those of us who still occasionally try to get some use out of it. The pre hepa filter screen is way too small and clogs almost immediately, therefore cutting down the already inadequate suction to almost nothing. It's ridiculous. A common house fly could probably escape it's air flow at that point.
It was supposed to compete with the newly introduced Dyson "never loses suction" branding, but ended up being the complete opposite in user friendliness and should have been subtitled "always loses suction"!
The parts I think were well done are the electronic height adjustment and two speed motor, the excellent quality brushroll, the extremely long hose, and it's self diagnosing capability to indicate the location of a clog by illuminating a light on a graphic of the machine on the control panel. Those things were all wasted on this machine. Such a missed opportunity to deliver a revolutionary product. Idiots!
It's uniqueness endures and offers great subject matter for my photography, makes a great heavy doorstop, or can be used simply as a object to take space up in a room!
So, call me crazy, but I'll keep mine unless someone offers me a decent amount for it.. just to be the one who has the world's best "worst" vacuum!
I'm humbled and honored.
Would you mind bringing the medal here to me in Los Angeles? You're only an hour away, and I make great coffee!
