Probably one of the dirtiest vacuums i've had to clean so far. After about 3 and a half hours work, I got it looking decent and it runs lovely too! Ryan |

I do ask myself why the UK only had one model of cleaner like this when other countries had several. In fact I didn't know this until I saw some pictures very recently. |

The automatic tool was not used as much in the UK as it seems to have been in other countries. The main problem was they clogged up with fluff which wedged the brushes up, leaving nothing but suction for bare floors. |

Hey Ryan, fantastic job! You're getting good at the cleaning - you should consider a Sonic Scrubber brush - I've had one for years and its fab - its like a Sonic toothbrush for an elephant/horse - but comes with so many brush heads for small to large appliances. Its actually pretty great for anything that needs a good scrub!

This 302 was in a similar mouldy state to the 310. I think the dirt preserves them sometimes lol.. |

This 65 was in an awful state when I got it, I bought it on ebay as spares/repairs. It takes a lot of concentration and work to get them looking like this but its so worth it |

the Turbolite was initially given to me to use for spares because the motor had seized, but it was just some crap stuck in the fan. I took pity on it and cleaned it up and that was the result lol |
