Hmm, seems if you have the money, there's three to choose from, two C12s (One a Shakout bag, one a Disposable bag), and one Columbus-Dixon (shakeout): CLICK HERE TO GO TO twocvbloke's LINK on eBay |

Thankyou so much for all that! It's nice to get direct advice! :D How much have your 'taire's cost you? What percentage is tax? I told you there would be more questions! |

Sorry mate I know SOME Kirby salesman can be lets say not very honest but how on earth does any sales man force you to buy it. I own a vacuum shop and am always bemused by this comment. We have customers coming in to trade in there kirby's and rainbows and they always say the salesman forced them to buy it?????? If you don't want it say no. If you bought the machine because you felt obliged to then its still your choice you chose to buy it. RIGHT ???

Yes I must admit I do love messing with them too if they carry on persisting I will give in just to have some fun. I love the look on there faces when I, after having some fun, take them to my workshop and show them all the test riggs and stuff. The funny thing is I always offer to put the kirby/ rainbow/thermax/retello on to the test bench but they always decline LOL

@ venson
yep that's correct rainbows are even more worse yet both only have a 1 year guarantee here. Quality ??? yes that did make me laugh, if they were made like the legend's then yes that was quality, sentria not so much, sure its better than most but its not that much better. Its would be like buying a $ 80 000 dollar Toyota Camry sure its well made and will never break down but you wouldn't buy it for that would you |
