Sebo has never offered a synthetic bag for the Mechanical 300/350 or the European 360, what we know here as the Versamatic 14 ( there is also a 400 in the EU ). Same for its predecssor the BS36. Nor does Lindhaus offer a synthetic bag for the Diamante or its commercial twin. On the Lindhaus...

This is the way Aerus should have sold the Guardian Platinum in the US. It is much nicer to use this way and the larger diameter Lux hose and wands flow more air on my anemometer than the smaller diameter hose and wand used by Aerus. Same vacuum, change the hose and you get more airflow.. No...

The slide block assembly could be one culprit. Try servicing it. Not easy to do btw but I think there are videos showing how.

I'm laughing and shaking my head because V-F has no hands on repairing and servicing vacuums and no hands on with vacuums from brands like Sebo, Miele, Lux International or Electrolux AB, Bosch, Lindhaus, Faker, Sattrap or any of the brands sold in North America like Eureka, Bissell, Sanitaire...

So here is a tip. The only bags Hoover sells specifically for the Hushtone are paper. I use a genuine Hoover Style Y synthetic HEPA dust bag but you have to cut the mounting card down a smidge to fit the Hushtone bag mount. The bag is a little bit large for the Hushtone bag chamber but tucks...

Why not buy a new or factory refurbished Workhorse? You know it. It used to be called the Amway Cleartrak. New ones are still being built and the company also sells as-new factory refurbished ones. That brand is always forgotten but it might be the best made and most durable bagless vacuum...

With such a small population their merchants just don't move the volume of merch to be able to keep their prices down and keep the lights on and employees paid. Shipping a Capri from Melbourne to LA/Long Beach had to be more costly than shipping the same car within Australia, except maybe to...

I think the Hushtone is the best upright vacuum Hoover ever made. It was Vacuum Wars' test that piqued my interest in them.

Maybe the Chinese navy uses them to clean their submarines, lol. As an old ASW helo pilot I wish they did because the acoustic signature of a Dyson would be detectable for a long long way under water. Like a beacon for our sensors and weapons.

V-F is arrogant and condescending. Nobody knows anything but him, yet he steadfastly refuses to test anything but cheap bagless crap. I want to see him test something like a Lux D795 or D920, a modern Sebo or Miele or, gasp, a big old honking Kirby or Sanitaire direct air upright. He really...

Dude, you don't have the slightest idea how a Kirby works. They are nothing like the vacuums you know. It is a direct air machine. The dirty air goes right through the fan, which is right there at the back of the nozzle, and is blown into the dust bag under considerable pressure. It is a...

Not the same part but made the same way. There are two nozzle widths, 13 and 15 inches so I don't think either Hushtone brush roll fits any Windtunnel but I haven't tried and don't have any Windtunnels to check. Just noting that Hoover went back to an older and more durable style of brushroll...

One more image showing badge detail. The blue skins and Lux badges came from France Purification.

Here are a few images of the same machine before I swapped the skins. Koda in my quality control technician. In the background is his snoopervisor Banner.
