    My Hoover find of the week

    Never seen a Ranger with that hood before Seamus - whats its code 4002C? Am wondering if the C at the end of the 6525C does mean its a contract version?

    My Hoover find of the week

    I think this might be a 6525C which is pictured here on the right - seems mine had a bag change at some time. The C could have stood for Contract, although I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong

    The Robots are Coming..

    Miele have released the SCOUT robot to buy on their website - better get a mortgage approval though as you will need one with the price they are demanding for it. Makes a Dyson look cheap! (£700 is about $1200) http://www.miele.co.uk/vacuum-cleaners/Scout-RX1-471/

    I watched a documentary about how Amazon treat their warehouse staff like robots. I wasn't impressed.

    My New Sebo Felix

    You can buy the hose extensions from SEBO - they come as standard with the X4 Extra and Pet, but can be bought separate for the Felix too. Interesting that a Kirby hose fits the end of a SEBO hose though, or did you fit the handle from the Kirby hose to the SEBO extension hose...

    Well a Riccar is crossing the Atlantic :-)

    Prices $415 including postage to UK? - that works out as £247 - so the extra £70 odd you paid is for import taxes? Rip off Britain strikes again.

    I've decided to leave converting the K3 for the time being, although I may consider it in the future. I have ordered the bags from this supplier which sells them for £16.98 for 2 boxes with free delivery. I always use them for bags, filters and belts and they have always been reliable...

    Nice one Seamus - I'm sure you will be posting pics of it and a review when it arrives! Needless to say you've had to order bags and filters for it from the US sellers as well? I cant imagine any parts for one of these being available from Espares lol

    Its worth considering Roger - I may well get the wand conversion for my Vulcano. Is the one on Amazon a genuine SEBO or an aftermarket one? Are Amazon reliable at delivering?   Thanks for all the other comments on my new Felix - I need to order some more bags for it from my usual bag...

    Thanks for the link Roger - I'd have to think about it, I've never used Amazon before.

    Theres a K3 Premium on ebay at the mo for £150 in as new condition Roger, but it has the ETH head May as well get that than pay £100 just for the wand and connector. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271487780203?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    I'd need the power wand and the small cable connector for the handle - that would cost me the best part of £100 lol   http://www.buyspares.co.uk/sebo/k3-premium/telescopic-tube/product.pl?pid=1156516&path=495346:496792,495397&model_ref=837532

    Well a Riccar is crossing the Atlantic :-)

    Wow - A Riccar in the UK - that will be an oddity - I love them too, and its a pity we cant get them in the UK at 240V. Tacony may decide to export Riccar/Simplicity to Europe eventually - we can live in hope? I doubt they'd be cheap though!   The price you paid is incredibly cheap for the...

    I don't have much hard floor - its carpet in every room bar the kitchen and bathroom, where its lino. I have yet to test it on hard floor, but as it has variable power and brushroll shut off, it shouldn't suck the lino up to the nozzle like the X series does. I will post later with my results...

    I wont ramble on about how wonderful this machine is, as Roger has done an excellent, in depth review of this model on his youtube channel (IBAISAIC), but as he didn't do an unboxing video of it, I thought I'd show some pics of how it comes boxed.   I can honestly say that I feel SEBO are...
