Well, I started to strip the new girl down, as my mum expressed an interest as her DC05 is woeful at lint in their upstairs carpet. The pana should sweep it away nicely, but I said she couldnt have it in the state it was in.

Foam washer thing removed. It's short life in a caravan by the sea has started to take its toll with damp sand everywhere

Brushroll. If it was stiffer it would be great, but it's not horrendous

This has to be one of the newest cleaners still being sold I have had. I;ve had dysons over the years, but after they had ben discontinued etc.

More to come!
 
Great these - I use mine for cleaning filters in vacuums I bring home from the carboot!

Today I picked up some Reusable bags for Panasonic Uprights
 
"Well, I started to strip the new girl down" Did you now... :)

In all seriousness, I look forward to seeing the end result!
 
Cheers guys! Will try and get more stripped down soon! Tempted to buy new belts for it but it looks new enough that they should be fine, and they look fine, but new belts always made a difference!

Will have to wait for payday for that one!
 
Finally finished stripping and cleaning!
