    A PROTEST WHO WITH ME

    Not Good riddance to bad eggs, there's a reason I hardly post on here! Sebo_fan didn't get him banned, he got himself banned with his unacceptable behaviour. Matt

    Is the universe telling me to stop buying vacuum cleaners?

    "The Panasonic Bagged Uprights worked perfectly well with a 1500w motor." The Panasonic bagged uprights worked perfectly well with a 600w motor! Hopefully this is what we will see again over the next couple of years. Matt

    Dyson High Prices could leed to demise

    Europe's tendency not to use clothes dryers It is seen as a waste of money to use a clothes dryer when it isn't raining, I agree with this, even when it is raining most of my clothes go on an indoor drying rack. Plus, it isn't against any regulations here to line dry, nor is it seen as a sign...

    New Henry for Summer 2014

    Fantastic It's great to finally see a sensibly sized motor in a domestic machine again, after ever increasing wattages over the past 2 decades or so to a ridiculous level in the last few years! Hopefully where we have seen the "drive to the top" in terms of wattages, we will now see the...

    Oh dear, we've been vacuum shopping...

    Bagless ball I sometimes do the tilt trick too if going from one type of flooring to another and can't be bothered to wait for the machine to adjust itself! Once it gets to the right level the machine basically pulls itself along by it's brushroll! I haven't used a Kirby more recent than a G...

    Wouldn't you agree? Probably, but playing the devil's advocate is always interesting.

    TP2 build quality It's certainly a lot better than a tp1, but not a patch on Sebo, plastics are nowhere near as solid, plus the bag door is very flimsy. When I first got my x4 I thought the cleaner head was metal rather than plastic because of how strong and sturdy it is! With regards to...

    Oh dear, we've been vacuum shopping...

    Just....wow watching this thread has been like seeing a car crash in slow motion. I have a Sebo X4 along with 2 top condition turbopower 1s and a turbopower 2, so I'd like to think I'm in a good position to compare here. The carpet cleaning of both the turbopower 1s and the X4 is on par, with...

    Sebo X4 PET aka my baby!

    Hi Matt Nice to see a local member! I'm also a massive fan of Sebo and have an X4 myself which is coming up for 4 years old now (got it for my 21st birthday lol) I've kitted mine out to the X4 pet spec with the extension hose and tube, bare floor brush, turbo brush and charcoal filter, hehe...

    Best Selling Brands Worldwide *

    Cylinders on the continent I have to agree with Sebo_fan, fitted carpet is almost non-existant. The general attitude, certainly in germany is that fitted carpets are "dirty" and old fashioned, even in bedrooms and living rooms ceramic tiles are popular, but most people have a mixture of wood...

    New Vax Zoom Upright (Argos Exclusive) Review & Pics

    Number of cyclones Does the gradual increase in the number of cyclones a bagless vacuum uses remind anyone else of the number of blades in razors? One did the job, 2 made it safer and more comfortable, but they just keep adding more and more. Won't be long before we end up with something like...

    What do YOU consider Vintage..

    I was born in 1989 And I would consider anything pre-1950s to be "Vintage", 50s-70s "Retro" and 80s-90s "Used/Old" However, most of the machines I collect are from the 80s, because they are the machines I am most fond of and I feel offer the best performance, not because they are "Vintage". I...
