    Yes but that is the vacuum with the hidden secondary motor filter, I like tha PAVC-102 that you can blow out the secondary motor filter with a compressor much more easily!!!

    If you do not keep the secondary filter clean you will overheat the motor and burn it out quickly!! Just a little problem! :)

    Thanks for the info Don. I've had the same vac for 5 years and didn't know about the secondary filter. I cleaned it and the motor last week and it made a difference! Imagine that.

    Two of the PowerSmiths, one for each stove. No issues, does what it is supposed to do, small footprint and usually $59 at Ocean State Job Lot. Will look for that secondary filter when I clean out the vacs. Thanks.
