Front on
As seems to always be the case with these particular models the lens has yellowed considerably, this does not seem to have been a problem with the later 4014 (ssshhhhh) Ranger model, I wonder if some of the yellow pigment leeches into the lens plastic. It also has the conventional round Hoover handgrip rather than the more angular version (hand grip only, the handle its self was still round but painted yellow) of our 4002. In reality the cleaner is not quite such a dark yellow that it appears here

It has a shake out bag
In our previous discussion about it Gareth was surprised it has a shake out bag - I thought perhaps this was typical of SA at the time but Gareth said not and if anyone should know he would :)
Still there aint nothing like a shake out bag for good inflation. I did not have time to check it, but I wonder if this would have enhhanced suction due to higher air flow. Please excuse the state of the carpet which needs a shampoo - that area is right under the loft hatch where I keep my cleaners and there is no point doimng it till I finish my sorting out

A final difference
Is the large clip to hold the bag up - this is much bigger than the UK version, but maybe that is for the shake out bag. Oh and the cable clips are metal not plastic as ours were by that time.
After seeing Gareth's postings I am going to have to get a 15amp plug to make it look more authentic. Gareth what colours are your cable cores? these are Brown/Blue (the standard colour scheme for Europe) but maybe the cable has been changed. Al

 Hey a home town machine , That bag is not origionalaly from that unit though, They all had a green bag on them. Hoovers in SA used to be manufactured in a province called eastlondon here in SA.
Zegal doesn't exist any more , the suburb oof rondabosh is about 15 min from were I stay, odd phone number though never seen one like it | ||

Gareth
Even this earlier, yellow model? Of course if you had the later model with the green hood (equivalent to our 4014) then it would of course have a green bag but they yellow here is a pretty good match for this cleaner. We did have another version of the 4002 (grey hood, no headlamp) with a shake out bag which also used the older style round handle and (grey) hand grip which I always presumed to be a commercial varaint - its seems a bit of a long shot that I should have got another version of teh same thing Al | ||
