They are a Chinese made machine, I don't know how they got licensing from Kubota, I purchased 3 of them, one for up in the house, one for down, and one for the shop, they seem to work ok, after all a vacuum is my least liked piece of equipment but a necessary evil nonetheless although I still have trouble understanding how a combination of wheels, a cord, and a hose can all get along at once. there has to be a better way, perhaps a battery powered back-pack model,,, no wheels no cords and one hose......
I guess mybad for not adding that Kubota inventory to my profile.........
Funny however, a person probably won't find one at your local Kubota dealer
Cheers
