I buy these in bulk and there is none in stock at the moment the suppiers will have some at the end of the week. they retail from £25 to £45 depending where you buy them from . they are a fantastic little vac with a lot of power. anyone who has one you must change the filter every 3 months especially if you use it professionaly otherwise it will pack up you can pick the filters up for around £6

Bonny Pack is probably the most popular c & c in the city.

If you approach the city from the Govan direction, after you pass underneath the Kingston bridge, it's about 500 yds on the right.

You have to pass it and follow the one way system, keeping right, you are effectively driving round one block to come  back to Bonny Pack

ps

Just noticed.......you're a bit further south than the flag suggested !

About 12 months ago some of the main carpet cleaning specialists were knocking these out at £100 or so.
Didn't take some people long to find the identical item with a different name badge selling in shops for £20.
Yes they are good and it does impress the customers when you produce this purpose made upholstery tool, especially when they see the dry dirt extracted.

For £20 what did you expect?
Title: Re: Hunter vacs
Post by: Steve Weatherley on November 04, 2006, 07:46:07 pm
How right you are! I paid £30 for mine though!! Back to the old traditional dustpan and brush followed by the carpet sweeper I think!

Steve, you obviously dont pre vac stair treads and risers then? If you do? with a attachment on your vacuum your making life hard for yourself. Brilliant little piece of kit even just for stairs, as well as showing the customer what comes out of a couple of feet of "clean" carpet. £25 pounds well spent!

Just my opinion.

i concur with Adam i find the hunter invaluable. the amount of stuff it can lift is astounding for a small unit.It is ideal for mattresses as well. as i have stated before the important thing about this vac is to keep the filter clean and change it every few months. its also great for selling on to customers who are very impressed with it

I have one and there ok until you use something like a filter queen fora mattress,then you see how much crap comes out.
They are a good little machine for suites and stairs and good little line to sell on to customers,I sold about 15 to customers last year at £50 each ;)

When you do your next mattress clean, just put in a new cone filter and watch the crap that is pulled out,then watch your customers reaction when you show her.  ;)
