Very nice. I got the same machine two weekends ago, but mine had the shake out bag. I'm surprised to see they did away with the F and G bags... but still has two letters! This one will be much easier to change! Congrats on a new toy, enjoy playing with it.

Great find Andrew!
I love the ST bags. My gripe with Sanitaires has always been that the bags were just so filthy,and these eliminate that!
The F&G machines are still available, but these new machines are part of an upgraded line.

Electrolux.......
Hey Andrew
Nice! Im thinking its Sanitaire month both sides ofthe pond lol
.
I see its "Dual Branded" in the same way Jacks ZC880 is.
Im guessing thats a new thing over there?
The paper bag setup looks to be a big improvement over the FG one!

P.s I have one the same as Jacks and was given a tip to use a slightly used Convertible/Senior belt on it as they are less prone to stretch. Its been on over a year and has been great so far.

.Convertible Belt...
Holy cow! Can you play music on that belt? The Convertible/Senior belts are WAY too small to get on those machines, even when used. I'd be very concerned about burning the bearings out in the motor or brushroll with that setup.
If you use the genuine Sanitaire/Eureka belts, they last a very long time. The generics will stretch out in absolutely no time flat. I've used both, the Generics may last 1-2 vacuuming sessions, but the genuine belts will last for months!

Belts...
Hey Eric
A slightly used belt isnt actually over tight- however this may have something to do with the fact our Genuine Hoover Senior belts are nuch stretchier than the US ones(When ive changed the belts on my 1010 and 707 Ive really noticed the difference!).
Electrolux over here no longer supply the belts for these so our only option is to improvise or go with Generic. I am also going to try the belt for the 61/91 series Hoover as those are still about over here. I would get a few Genuine ones from the US but im always very careful with the shipping quotes on belts as I have been given quotes of up to $25!!!! to ship 3 packs of 2 belts- It should be under $5 lol.
Same goes for the agitator brushes but those will have to come from over there as there are no Generic alternatives that im aware of.
Cheers

Interesting.....
You'd think if they sold the vacuum that they'd sell the belts right?! Leave it to EurekaLux to do something that foolish...
The reason I ask about the Convertible belts is because the genuine ones are pretty stiff and not very stretchy that I've used. They work GREAT on the Convertible, but you even have to struggle to get them on there! I was thinking you'd have to be a champion wrestler to have enough strength to get one on a Sanitaire if you didn't break the belt first! Since they're stretchy, I can certainly see how you can get it on there now. Thanks for the clarification!
