Here's an odd one, a bagless canister that is sold door to door in small numbers. This ones early 90s based on what I've been told. Cost me $50 on Craigslist.

Hi! Thanks for your video. I have questions!! I own a WaterMatic V, which I found at Goodwill for $5.99. (Total score!) It's definitely the best vacuum I've ever owned. I have found, however, it picks up SO much dust and hair that the cloth filter tends to clog up pretty quickly. This degrades performance significantly over the life of each vacuuming cycle. So... 1) You mention you might test Silver King filters in the WaterMatic. Did you ever perform that test? I've ordered some but wonder whether adding another layer, and a polypropelene one, will degrade suction. 2) You mention paper filters, also that you do not carry them. Can you tell me where you got the paper filters? Finally: 3) Why is it called WaterMatic? This existential question haunts me. I have a (different) water-filtered vacuum cleaner, which is pretty cool, but I've never seen a reference to the WaterMatic (any model of) as water-filtered. Is there anything water-related about the WaterMatic V? Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise with me.
