    Dyson Ball Animal 3 in the US

    Fantastic design. . The U.K. and Europe as already mentioned, has had the new cleaner head for years now. Large diameter brush rolls and a very powerful direct drive motor, it’s just really well designed. The US model does have the anti tangle combs and they seem to be holding up well on my...

    Dyson V8 Bin Issue

    Sounds like the rubber seals have dried out. Usually happens if someone tries to Clean them. Take the bin off completely and carefully remove the seals. Wash everything throughly (if you have a dishwasher put the seals and bin lid in there. Once everything is dry, get some talcum powder and...

    Dyson DC17 Absolute Animal

    Nice video fella. Always wished we had this model in the U.K. Was never available, unless I’m confusing this with the muscle model ?

    Not Enough Female Vacuum Collectors

    Why are you advocating for "more women" just because? What will that add to the community? Are you trying to be so tolerant that you've gone full circle and somewhat forcing one type of person to do something because it "adds diversity"? I see this everywhere and its kind of disgusting. Men and...

    Some rather devastating news...

    Really does make me laugh when you hear people say "Dysons don't last, they fall apart" and here is yet another example of one still working perfectly fine after 14 years. Yes, plastic degrades, especially older ABS, they are nearly all made of Polycarbonate or an ABS Poly blend, and designed to...

    ET-1 Problems

    Sebo seem to be having build quality / design issues recently. It’s as if they’ve dropped the ball slightly. I’m speaking to Sebo owners of decades saying the same thing. I’ve had a D4 and currently have an E3 premium with the same head; not noticed those issues with the PH but the hose on the...

    UK Dyson Cylinder Cleaners Discontinued

    Its nothing about a "surprise" Dyson categorically has said that that's exactly what they are doing; discontinuing there corded lineup to focus purely on cordless technology. Based on how good my V15 is, I can totally see why.

    UK Dyson Cylinder Cleaners Discontinued

    Not surprised at all. The cordless Dyson are infinitely better than their corded machines. Makes sense for them to focus on those rather than a product which has fallen out of favour with the general public.

    Good news for the future of vacuums as major home appliances

    Similar story in the UK; Carpets have thermal properties, and are considered better for your joints as they are more akin to walking on soil as opposed to hard, solid floors. They also add an element of luxury to a home. Since Brexit and 2016, European carpet manufacturers have put up their...

    Felix Pet Exhaust Filter

    If you will do that give it every opportunity; wash it by itself, on a 1 hour setting at 60c with a decent amount of detergent Like I said; mines hasn't fuzzed or anything and it gets rid of all the carbon dust as well. Being 60c, it also will kill off any bacteria as well. Sebo dont recommend...

    Felix Pet Exhaust Filter

    My felix is nearly 10 years old, I’ve been washing it at 60c in the machine (it’s the royale model with the Union Flag which they don’t do anymore) it comes out perfectly. No damage at all, hasn’t even started fraying. I asked the question at the time on this forum to see if you can machine...

    Shark design changes in "newer" models ala Electrolux?

    You are a vacuum repairer (from what I can gather from your story) This is the Doctor complaining why so many people come to his surgery with health problems, aches and pains. Dyson sell literally millions of vacuums per year, as do shark. Like it or not but our beloved Sebo, Kenmores...

    Numatic in [North] America

    No. This isn’t NCIS and we are talking about a vacuum distribution. It’s not that deep. This person just, knows. I’m not going to spell their name out on this forum as they have no affiliation with this group and it’s would be totally unfair of me. Just come to peace with it. It’ll happen in...

    Numatic in [North] America

    Hello I did indeed make the comment, and it's still in the works, although a US UK bespoke trade deal, while signed in draft form, has yet to be finalised. Covid kind of paused a lot of domestic policy for both the UK and US. In the deal, consumer electronics are noted, and from what I have...

    Kirby Company sold to Right Lane Industries

    I mean, I’ve said the same about Sebo but somehow that’s wrong of me 🤪😂 Kind of goes to show that reputation and oldy worldy nostalgic design isn’t enough to survive in the current market. No is suggesting Kirby makes cordless vacuums in China for £150, but it Vorwerk can sell vacuums at Kirby...
