My wife was so frustrated with our "expensive" vacuum. I purchased this kit to breathe some new life into it. It was a nice combination of parts to achieve my objective. I would go online on Youtube or another source to make sure one knows how to assemble and disassemble the vacuum. It's not really hard but there are a couple of places where things might not be so straight forward. I had the new parts in and charging in about ten minutes. The hardest thing was trying to find where I put my small parts phillips screw driver set. Mission accomplished!
