Azman293, that's a beautiful Hoover for the first one! One of the spa tips is the Mister Clean Magic Eraser, the group pretty much swears by it. I don't know much about the lubes, but depending on what else you might hear from members, you can find some belts, and common type disposable bags from the grocery store. And the dollar stores often have bags, but it depends how decent they'd be at filtering dust. And I think even now, vacuum shops still stock bags for older models.

Just before I go out and start searching for them, is there a specific model number of cleaning tools I have to get for the U4021? |

No I do not know what the converter looks like. I also did not know the latter tools for the decade models worked to. I am sure I will have more questions when it gets here, haha Thanks for the help |
