Head up - VAX hoover bags
I have an old style VAX multifunction hoover (looks like the 6131 but is
older) - the most common Vax design. B&Q have just discontinued the maintenance kits (5 paper bags, cone filter and 2 motor filters). Screwfix haven't had any in either T Wells or the internet depot for ages. Just ordered 5 boxes direct from Vax - but I'm wondering if something's going down... Cheers Tim |

I said "hoover" not "Hoover". Anyway, Vax's website seems alive so I don't think they've done an LDV. But I wonder why one of the most common formats of bags for a wet n dry has started to disappear... |

Head up - VAX hoover bags
