Just had a look, looks a bit naff.. Can't see any YouTube vids for it either! Oh, an I havnt seen one before! :)

I was thinking green/purple as they were really popular. Still havnt ever seen a toothed belt for one, any photo's would be massively apreciated! I have never changed clutch belts, I've always just used a new clutch. Apart from a DC03 I had in for repair YEARS ago. The motor to clutch belt had...

Could one of you do a video of the ins am outs of these? I have never seen one and I like how different they were.

It's not a cyclone system, but can be used to pick up small wet spills!

Not on the belts or pulleys, but there are quite a few (I don't know what they are called so im going to say) washers that that all sit together and are toothed on outside?

It's quite alright, these things do happen! :D

What model is that on? I havnt seen a toothed one. When they were first brought out they claimed the clutch was there to protect the belts. That it would disengage the belts and make a rachet noise. That noise makes me jump!

What I have never understood is that if the clutch protects the belts, why not use toothed belts? Also non clutch machines have 3 rows of bristles in a better pattern than the clutched, 2row helix brush. DC07 non clutch (with seals in the sole plate) are one of my favourites. Early models of...

Everybody says Kirby is reliable, I'm not doubting it. But do think that most cleaners would be of they were sold with annual tune-ups. Sebo have been one of the most reliable uprights cleaners I have seen. I used to use them cleaning NHS hospitals/clinics and they suffered some major abuse...

How did tinsel get in your motor? I have a spare of you want to pay for postage?

How did they rate it?

Did we get triStars in the UK? I think want one..

Does anybody hve pictures of all these brush rolls? I have no idea what they look like and I'm really interested to see..

Have to 99% of the time I'm a clean air man. Everyone I vacuum I need the use of tools, for hard floor bit mostly edges, pet hair that rubbed of on the side of furnishings, chewed up bits of dog toy.. I like dirty air, but as stated, with a Kirby it takes longer to clean. If I have time it's...

That reminds me of when I was a kid. My aunt was using a lux cylinder to clean out her car. She also had a bucket and cloth to wipe down the interior. You guest right, distracted by something in the car she let go of the hose, which fell in the bucket and emptied it of all its contents...

If you can get hold of a sebo upright I think you would be happy with it. Don't get me wrong, I like miele's, but sebo spares are A LOT cheaper. The X series are lighter than the upright Miele and the pick up is great..

Personally I think Kirby could do with having two speeds on them! I don't know I'd any body else has found that G5 models and below shoot across the room, where's the models above don't seem to want to be pushed as fast as I want them to go! Has anyone else found this?

Also completely agree about the lack of grit removal! This used to baffle me when I was a kid. I would reppeatedly vacuum the same spot and still grit would bounce out of the carpet in front of the machine no matter how many strokes I would make..

There is is a MC-E43 on eBay, grey with headlight and clear tool door..

I remember these 2 machines fondly! The green one ended up with a crack from top to bottom on the bag door!
