I agree it's a handy little machine a real bargain at £15.00.  Is this really the same machine that Dry Fusion sell for £110.00?

I found that the Filter clogs easily. Probably due to small size so I would advise buying spare repacement filters.

If Machine is now £15 will they still be available and the cost of a filter plus pp will soon equal cost of machine.

Re Filters,

I used mine for about half an hour and the Filter blocked.

As far as I can tell Filter will then need to be cleaned and washed as mine really was thick with dust.

Therfore Spares are required.

I think they are £6.50 from Hometek.

This was just my personal test report

Once Filter was cleaned and dried full pwer was restored, but for time being have reverted to Henry and just use Hunter for Final quick going over.

Are you saying the customer dose not vac that often in your opinio, or is this machine is too powerful?

With reference to the filter blocking it sounds a bit silly but I use the crevice tool of my Sebo to clean the Hunter.  The Sebo normally comes in on every job along with the Hunter so I just empty all the contents of the Hunter waste bin into the Sebo and give the filter a good vacuum and it's back on the road in about a minute or two.

Len,

Regretably I do not clean in the BEST HOUSES so I get the stuff that has never been cleaned.

Why did I not think of cleaner filter with Dyson or Henry.


But when I become rich I will get a Sebo Dart
