Here is a nice vac that I got a few weeks ago, when I received it, it STUNK of must and it had none of the attachments.

I gave it a full clean up an managed to track down some tools for it, the correct ones.  I got it a brandnew hose too as I could not get the must smell out of the old one and as it was a clear hose it had all gone yellow. The new hose I bought for it is a stair reach hose, originally it did have a stretch hose, however it was not a stair reach stretch hose...If that makes any sense!

I bought it a new brushroll as these have a habit of going noisy over time, and of course, new bags, belt and filters, strangely, the exhaust filter is only accessible by removing the motor housing cover, it does not have a little flap like other models did.

I only paid £9.99 for the vac it's self but spent about £80 on it all together! It was worth it though as it looks the part now, and is a fantastic cleaner, it looks very striking too!

The only reason they sold it was because it had "no suction" when I first turned it on, the bag door sucked right in, I was like RIIIIGHT and turned it off, I found that there was a blockage in the hose fill tube thing, that was the only thing stopping it working fully.

Well, anyway, when the delivery guy came to the door, I immediately thought that the seller could of packaged it better, I did say to the Parcelforce guy "there is no guessing what that is!" which gave him a chuckle.

The hood is in pretty good condition, usually they are scratched to bits on these, I see a lot like that. 

Still has the shop floor sales "sticker"

Back Saver Handle. Supposed to stop you bending down so much when going under tables, beds etc.

Not a fan of step switches.

Attachments.

And as I said the hose does indeed reach to the top of standard 13 stairs.

The new brushroll, the original had white brushes. The old brusholl was made in the USA unlike the new one!

Finally the sales Sticker and yes, made in USA! :) Sorry it is on it's side, but that is the way it is on the machine.

Yep, the video is uploading as we speak.

It is exactly the same as the Eureka, it is just different lettering and voltage, although they sound the same.

Thanks for that, Chris, really cool! :)

You mean this?

I know, I bought it.

Those Dirt Devils came out long after Lux had discontinued the backsaver handle in the UK. I pressume the patents were sold to DD, as had been done previously with the Contour which was also "copied" by Dirt Devil (although, in a much cheaper, crapper form than the Contour)

Benny, I seem to recall and advert for the Widetrack with a girl dancing with the vacuum in her very brightly decorated flat and the man in the flat below was stuck to the ceiling.

I remember seeing an advert on TV for the widetrack but I have not seen it in years and I have been unable to source it, I wonder if Roger has any old adverts on these.

Another thing to note, is that the handle was different on some models despite still being branded with the backsaver handle lettering, I will show you a picture of the other powerline I used to have and this one so you can see what I mean, I have no idea why they did this, I prefer the handle in the first photo. You can also see that the hose hook is a lot different on the "curvier" handle.

I have found that issue too if you lean it forward to far, it sort of clunk right forward.
