Looking at my list of spare parts, I have a pack of bags for an Airstream 1 & 2, and a Brushroll for a Glider. Will try and find these parts today, but does anyone know if they will fit the Contour since they all look very similar? |

I've known for months now, that vacuum wattages are usually 100w-200w lower than the one written on the machine |

Nice find, Sam.
I might have a replacement 2 in 1 upholstery tool for that if you want it? The Contour Chic came later on. I believe it was the last Contour before the launch of the Powerline and Widetrack. The Microlite's were also rebranded as Chic and were dark green. From about 1996. What's the serial number on it? |

Nice find, are these of any help? There is a total of 7 bags and the packet is opened with one missing. Don't forget I have that turbo power 2 motor if you wanted it? Jake :) |

I reckon it can be saved, certainly made into a useable cleaner for someone! Will never be concourse sadly, but useable certainly |

You don't do things by halves Sam!!
I would hazard a guess that your Chic uses the same 900 Watt motor as my Contour Varipower but they just stuck a more "rounded off" wattage figure on the body to make it look better. I could be wrong. Those Contours are fantastic vacuums and although they do show a decline in build quality, they will still last a few decades easily. Glad you managed to keep yet another Contour on the carpet for a wee bit longer at least! |

Cheers J! The decline in build quality is noticeable, lots of plastic welding rather than rubber seals and screws! Still, hopefully it will prolong it's life for a few more years, and I get to see how one goes together! Everything is dry now, will put it back together in the week at some point! |
