    Bags and belts.... Hi Steve Tom G is sending me a decent supply of bags and filters- It has a lifetime belt :) Problem is if you order more on the same order you become liable for Import tax etc which is more than the postage..... My last Kirby bags came from that seller- I can confirm they...

    Chris and Steve Right on both counts- although globally doesn't just mean China lol.... I do know the body is made and painted in the US though- the metallic finish is AMAZING- far better than anything on a metallic Miele!!. Stiff strips.... Joshua I actually have a Truvox commercial upright(...

    Bags Bit of a saga.... The listing showed bags but they didn't actually get put in the box :( The seller was great, apologised and refunded me $30 towards ordering some from Ebay- it covered a box of 6 genuine ones apart from $4 odd :). Regarding parts I have been chatting to Tom Gasko and am...

    My Hoover find of the week

    6525C Hi Steve The 6525C was a standard model number in the same way my U4002 is just a U4002. Other than it looking different the model number is identical. As well as having the blanked off lens you should find the motor has no lamp holder or any other provision for a headlight. Robin...

    The Voltage issue.... Will be solved by this- works fine with my 12a Windtunnel and despite having 2 motors the Riccar is 11A so it's not an issue :-) [this post was last edited: 5/16/2014-02:52]
