No Clips, Velcro only


By serial number (if applicable):

Polaris 380 360 bag

Old style

Polaris 380 360 bag

New style

The serial number is located on the back of the cleaner and is stamped if the cleaner is an older style (like pictured). The new style cleaners’ serial number is a sticker which will fade in time. If the serial number starts with a “K” it will be a 380, if it starts with “C” it will be a 280, if it starts with a “L” it will be a 360.


How to tell the difference between 380 and 360:

360 has thick, ribbed hose
Polaris 380 360 bag

380 has a skinny, smooth hose ( as do 180 & 280 )
