    Dyson V6 Car + Boat - Motor cutting out

    Definatly check the filter first, I've had about 10 in this year alone with just that issue (including the one linked to on the video above!). Then it's the battery, although cheap pattern batteries are very cheap now and work fine. But wash the filter properly before spending money.

    The most frustrating vacuum video on Youtube.

    Matt likes sebo and Swan now... Because they gave him free machines to test... I'm always a bit careful to now have too much of a go at the younger ones, because I think back to how much of an idiot I was whwn I was 13. The real test is what their like then they grow up... I do talk to matt and...

    The most frustrating vacuum video on Youtube.

    I did go full on though... we went through his usual, then denial, then back to the usual, then he got someone else to have a go, then he sprung back with an AHA! then 'I now cannot comment further, this is slander...and since then silence He did set himself up horribly for the fall. If youve...

    The most frustrating vacuum video on Youtube.

    Well it could be worse, he seems to be suing myself and another collector... You'd have to go to his v11 review video to see it all and I wouldn't wish that on anyone but I stood up to him and now he 'cannot comment any further'... What I have gleaned is he- Denies Gaslights Goes silent and...

    The most frustrating vacuum video on Youtube.

    Well he, via process of elimination between myself and ibaisaic) accused me of deliberately breaking my v11 head so I could have a pop at dyson. Things have escalated and he is on version 3 of his explanation. I'm about to sit down and compare the 3 and make VacuumFacts state facts for once...

    Electrolux 345 Help Needed in UK !

    My 345 Automatic has a scrap hose too. Amazingly still holds some air but both ends are ripped to shreds internally. It was a free vacuum though so can't complain too much. Just get A N other 3 lug hose to get it useable! I have a Lux Slimline hose I'll use on mine

    Hoover junior 1224 supressor

    I've had many blow, horrible things! I remove them as a rule nowadays. Probably essential in the 60s, 70s and 80s but useless today. Infact I showed an Electrolux 500 series running with both supressors removed with my tv on and not a drop of interferance! All Tv is digital in the UK now, and...

    Dyson v11

    I got a surprising amount of comments saying I broke that head on purpose too! I have a few ideas of what might have caused the bit to break, the whole head does vibrate ALOT. It does this to 'agitate' the carpet etc, which works fine on carpet but mine see's alot of hard floor use because...

    The most frustrating vacuum video on Youtube.

    He is a very annoying person, and I speak as a content creator! If any of you watch my videos (and hi if you do!) I'm always very careful to not do anything scientific so he can't go off on one. Hats off to Alex and VacuumWars who get it constantly. The issue with him is he has some mental...

    My Electrolux Automatic G!

    I had another play with this today and filmed it being converted to a bag that isnt meant for it, and also confirmed that both hoses aren't great. Luckily another collector pointed me towards an adapter that will allow me to fit a normal crushproof hose, which is fine by me and will make it...

    Any love for Vorwerk VK117 and ET-30 powerhead?

    Their Italian I think. Talking to an italian collector when I got mine, their very VERY common over there. Not too common in the UK, a few people have the recent one but their so flipping expensive! Over £2000 for the full kit. Their like Kirby, a bit niche, people who know them love them, but...

    My Electrolux Automatic G!

    Ah I didn't realise the box was from an XXX either! So basically I have the Automatic G unit, and XXX everything else. Maybe I should get a unit only XXX... I have 2 hoses, not sure why as both seem to work OK. One is the XXX hose, one has a plastic hand grip, grey in colour (ill get a proper...

    My Electrolux Automatic G!

    Hi! A while ago, Amazon delivered me a nice 110v - 240v transformer instead of the plastic box I actually ordered. Of course, me being the dishonest chap I am, I sat on this for 2 weeks until I heard nothing, and then started dreaming about maybe getting an american vacuum! I didn't really have...

    Any love for Vorwerk VK117 and ET-30 powerhead?

    My vorwek is a VK120, but I have the ET-30 head for it, and it is very nice! Not sure it grooms as well as my ET-340, but the brushroll on the ET-30 is half worn, and the et-340 has brand new brushrolls, but it is nicer to use! I refurbished mine and kept it rather than selling it on, as it is...
