I have come across a review from a man obsessed on vacuum cleaners called Ibasiac, interesting to watch the link is below

I noticed about two to three years ago. Whilst at Asda that they starting selling cheap vacuum cleaners made in China. But using the old Goblin name. This is very old name. The products look cheap and parts will be an issue. The machine was the same as I remember under then then Argos Value...

strange Yes modern machines are different to their older ones, but the fact is that plastic is thing, made for a price and once snapped cannot be repaired. Manufacturers or importers get away with making cheap tat just to undercut their rivals. Its just money without considering what the...

Poor Fan Design I have heard the wattage argument back in the 1980's, The trouble is many machines have a poor Turbine design, Thats what makes the different not a fast running motor. The Proof some older machines lasted becasue the motor did not burn out so quickly and had a good turbine...

Hi, I found I have to order via ebay or Amazon as many shops like Wilko now only sell Henry Bags or shall I saw numatic patern parts. It appears as so many are bagless many shops have stopped selling bags, have other people noticed this. Also I have seen a lot of old Electrical repair shops...

Goblin I just noticed these machines are the same model upright under the argos value brand, be aware parts not available

Am I right that this machine was made in Italy by Zannussi originally then made in Japan By Apex

Hi can anyone date my machine I think it was made in late 1990's but I Bought in 2001. Also when did hover move production to China

well I noticed looking at older models they had issues which the suction being so powerful you could not do rugs, I am keeping my vax as it cost me little and I have now got the Hoover Pure Power back in order so I have a good choice of machines to use.

I think although Hoover Europe is owned by Candy I think the machine still be made in the same factory

No Longer for sale I managed to repair my machine it was a switch which i ordered and got replaced, decided to keep it, why throw or give a good machines just because it is getting a tad dated.

stick with top brands Looks like a cheap far eastern product. I say to anyone in the UK Stick to top brands for parts. These are made for disposal

I see the Hoover Velocity got a best buy in Which magazine, But I have noticed when I examined the machine it was the same as one of the Vax Air Home, made in China sadly and some cosmetic changes

Interesting machine Was this machine discontinued after dyson took legal action against Hoover. I am not certain when they stopped selling them but I think around 2002

Sadly I am selling my Hoover US1325, WAs bought at a defunct co op store back in 2001. The machine was old stock, I no longer works need a new switch but selling as the Chasis is creaking and needs to be replaced. I have looked after it but the plastic is aging so I repalced today with a Vax Air
