Perfect video. Are you gonna try a cloth bag or different agitator, for variety?

Speaking as a Hoover fan, I'm sorry Hoover gave up on this traditional design. This style Eureka... uh Electrolux... continues to be popular with contract cleaners and carpet installers. Working at a hotel I saw various contractors use these Sanitaires. One particular job was a post construction cleanup. Chunks of gypsum, carpet scraps... I kept expecting the machines to fail. The proper(hotel owned) Sebos couldnt touch this kind of duty.

I have the Eureka-branded mid 1980s version with cloth bag. Amazing power.

Cloth Bags...

Hey David

I managed to aquire a shake out bag for mine for £4.99 inc post but it looks like it needs a different screw on adaptor to attach to the chassis?- are such things availiable over there?

There is such a thing as a bag adapter for the Paper-Bag machines. It allows you to screw it onto the base and use the clamp-style shake-out bags with the paper-bag machines. See the link below.

Hi Eric

Thanks for the link- ive dropped them a Email to ask if they will ship over here....

Might order a spare set of brush strips at the same time as they are not availiable over here
