Super Vac

[Bagman75]

Hi all...I've been reading the posts on here for years, but this is the first time I've posted! Anyway, I was wondering if anybody out there had a Super Vac 180, and if so would you be willing to post some pictures of it here? It's been a dream vacuum of mine for years, but I haven't seen too many pics of it actually turned on!!! Thanks in advance...

Hi...

Sorry I cant help with pics etc. But by coincidence, I was chatting on Yahoo Messenger the other night, with a vac collector from the USA called Dave. He says he is about to receive an order for a Super Vac 180, which is like a commercial version of a Kirby.

Are you the same guy that I was chatting to then ? (the "75" in your username may be a give away ? Lol).

Happy Hoovering

Here is a picture of my Super Vac 180. It's a neat machine. I don't have the original white vinyl bag or white cord. I have a Heritage Emtor with a Tradition bag that uses HEPA bags from EnviroCare Technologies. They work very well.

Thanks for the pics, and the link to that Youtube video! Yes Derek, it's me. I received my Super Vac yesterday and I can't wait to get it put together and running. I'm not sure exactly what kind of inner bag it takes, but looking at the comments on the youtube video, and seeing the bellows set up now in person, I believe the Eureka F&G style inner bag will work. The bellows seems turned sideways, and it seems impossible to turn it to the correct position. So the inner bag might require some slight modification. I'll post some pics when I get it running!!
