if you dont know anyone with the hoover then pop into a store with a digital camera, if anyone bothers you get them to take it apart and take photos - you can say you need to know if it'll fit into your cupbaord which is a wierd shape user added image

dont forget yahoo images, most might be similar to google but you sometimes get a few good pics in.
also dont forget the dyson website www.dyson.com as it has technical info and some diagrams on the inner workings - you can zoom in on flash movies too...
