Hi there, last September I bought a 1400W Ryobi 20L Wet-and-Dry vacuum cleaner for my shed/garage area, model number RVC-1420C-G. It has been brilliant, right up to this afternoon when it lost its suck and made a weird noise! The cause was quick and easy to find and was because the paper collection bag, though not full, had blown itself apart. No problem I thought, I'll just buy a replacement and get some spares for the future as well. BUT... this model isn't even listed on the Bunnings website now. I also checked Ryobi's site and there is no mention of the machine or replacement bags. The bags are consumable items so what to do? Can I return the machine to my local branch and exchange it for one that is supported? The machine can be operated without the collection bag and just using the HEPA canister filter but the whole point of the bags is to contain all the dirt, dust and filth so you don't get covered in it when you empty the machine (yes, Mr Dyson, I'm looking at you! haha).
Thoughts and suggestions please.
John
