That Hotpoint is so interesting. It reminds me of a Hoover Convertible.

Hi...

Hi Brian, Why I've not vacuumed with this machine yet the other LnEs I've used why not a Kirby cleaned well for the price)

Ooh I managed to get the zip unzipped lol)

Did the candle wax work or did you use something else to unstick the zip?

Hi Paul..

Hi Paul...

I couldn't find a candle in the end so I used some oil on the zip left it and put a small amount of grease the thread as well. Only small amounts...
Then a bit of wiggling;o)

I'm glad it's got it's got a new paper bag in it. It had a very old genuine Hoover bag in it that had fell to bits. So I vacuumed out the outer bag)
All clean now)

James,

Glad you got the bag out!

Is the brush roll the same as on the older Navy Blue LnE?

 

[kirbymodel2c]

Um...

Hi Paul
I think it's the same. I'll double check on Monday)
Isn't the pink one older than the dark blue one??

[paulc]

I meant to say younger LnE!!! Trying to do too many things at once!!!!
