The Oreck Magnesium with its remote controlled handle. Stupidest thing ever. They originally used a button battery and the modules would often fail. Later models have the switch hardwired where the upper cord hook sits but they're still garbage. If I have two of them on the bench next to each other, pressing the switch on one unit will turn on the other unit.
The Hoover Windtunnel 2. Need I say more?
BTW, in a conversation with John Gregory, I learned the Z400 and Z700 were conceived by Maytag and Tacony before or after the Whirlpool acquisition. Parts were immediately discontinued and people were mad the $400 vacuum they bought for $50 had no parts available.
