Three questions you need to ask yourself...

1) Will they fit?

2) Will the waste tank take it or will it collapse?

3) how easy will it be to use 2" fittings? ie onto the waste tank and also replacing all your hose.

I very much doubt you would need to change to 2 inch fittings or hoses as I am sure the Airflex Storm site says it will run on 1.5 or 2 inch hose.
I'm going to change one of my portables over once I've checked the measurements.

I thought you hated portables ;D ;D ;D

Let us know how you get on  with the change over

I remember years ago part of Ashbys sales pitch was that you buy a base machine and upgrade the machine that you bought  just as you did at the time or I still do with computers, which i believe in recycling

This throw away society  anoys me. The othe day I had British Gas trying to sell me a new boiler , why I ask when you are under contract to keep the old one working and you admit the new one will only save me £60 in fuel useage


I hope it anoys ALL THOSE GREEN CLEANERS ;D ;D ;D
