I was wondering if anyone here has used or owns a Metropolitan canister vacuum, or knows someone who uses one.

Here is one of their models:

Some more models:

They really intrigue me. Because of their filtration capability, the design, the size, and the fact that it is NOT PLASTIC. As an allergy sufferer who gets just about deathly ill from household dust and/or pollens if stirred up without taking precautions (I wear a surgical mask when I sweep, vacuum and dust), I appreciate that the Metro models have bags. It's worse for people with allergies to empty a bagless vac because all the very fine particles are not contained or controlled.

Anyone who can give me some input on them, it would be very much appreciated.
