[craig_1982]

Hello folks, I have seen this item on Ebay..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KIRBY-HER..._Bags_Parts&hash=item5ada1dd924#ht_1076wt_905

this looks different to anything I have seen before does this fit directly onto the machine i.e no em-tor at the bottom any feedback would be most appreciated.

Cheers Craig.

That's one of those F&G Conversion bags, they do not use Kirby bags, but Eureka type F&G bags (Electrolux type E74 for us in the UK), they don't work as well as the original Kirby setup, plus they really look ugly on a Kirby...

It's best to keep the F&Gs on Eurekas and Sanitaires where they work properly, than to fit them on a Kirby where they don't work as well...

Link to Electrolux's online store for E74 bags:

I tried one of those conversion bags on my Classic Omega many years ago and went back to the shake-out bag within a week.
