Sort of worked using IE 11 It took a few attempts to upload all in one go - came up with errors in the URL or something. only loaded 4 of the original 6 photos so I had to go back and try again to load the other 2 this time one at a time, then it worked. Using IE 11.   It seems to open the...

The Vax Zen is the quietest one I have. The Dyson Dc07 is by far the loudest - mostly the howl from the cyclone assembly itself. Any cyclonic vacs with a power dial selector don't work properly on low speed - although they are quiet on low speeds, the cyclone doesn't work well at all, and the...

According to them - its a DC01. (which it isn't) Its not much good if they wont post it either - unless you live in London, which most of us don't.

So, theres us on this side of the Atlantic that want to own Riccar and Simplicity machines, and you over there that want Dysons galore, that we get going two a penny one Ebay over here, such as the old DC01 and DC02's.   I'd love a swap - you can have Dyson over there and we'll have Riccar...

You could say that TTI are like vultures in that respect, only preying on weak or failing companies, in order to eliminate their own competition one by one. So Kirby is part of a large conglomerate now then. The time to worry is when a company falls into Chinese hands - you know quality will...

And that's a really common problem caused by a lack of grease on that lever where it bears against the dog housing, or excessive use of the transmission pedal.

They will be made in China if TTI decide on a hostile takeover of Kirby. I'm surprised TTI haven't been sniffing around for taking over Tacony, Miele or SEBO too. They seem to like swallowing everything that stands in their way, and transferring it all to China. TTI are like the BORG, and China...

Miele outsource the manufacture of some of their floorheads to Wessel Werk as well, but at least Wessel Werk are good quality. I'd imagine that their Hyclean bags are made by another company.   I would say that you are paying solely for the Miele name on that Scout Robot. Its the first time...

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?

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

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.

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...

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 can fit the Deluxe Kombi head from my K3 on it for hard floors
