The turbo tool is pretty pants, even a drop of oil will only help it so much! |

Bush never make their own vacuums - they're always using someone elses. The Argos VU-101 is based on Vax's "Essentials" VEU-101. I had both Argos versions but much prefer the bagged upright. Bush had a red one, the BU-202 based on the bagged Argos Vax but came with a pet hair tool on the front of the handle.
Handy info for any parts etc. Generally speaking, I never had a motor burn out on me - but then I cleaned the bagless paper cone filter out with a dry paint brush often. Uses 32mm tools so you can use any old ones lying around for stretch etc. |

Yep, it would be 100% better if it were bagged! Still, its about to meet its death with its new owner tomorrow, and hopefully I'll get some pictures |

Im referring to modern uprights - the older ones you state are lower motor power anyway.
Also I don't know any other modern bagged upright other than Miele that offers variable suction with high power on board (1800 watts) compared to the 1300 watts of the Sebo Felix - and I'm sure on the top level, the noise from the Miele isn't quiet. |
