Wanting a vortech Does anyone know if these vortech force vacuums are still available here in the UK, the website for them is not very forthcoming, it has a phone number and you can eventually find an address, but the website is really basic, with ( what I think are fake customer reviews, I...

I just got here in the uk I managed to get one of these from EBay here in the uk a few weeks ago, I’m thinking it’s probably quite a rare machine to have here, we had the hoover powerplus dual voltage back in the 80s but had never seen the American version until now This is mine next to my...

I just got one I picked one of these up here in the UK a few weeks ago We had the hoover power plus dual voltage cleaners back in the 80s but I had never seen this model. This is my one next to my American hoover air pro

Fab That’s turned out amazing, incredible that you found it in the garage and it still worked. The refurb is amazing

Fab find That’s an awesome looking vacuum is there any video of it on YouTube in use Is that a floating brush or a fixed brush with the nozzle height

Video That dirt meter is awesome. Don’t know if we had them here in the UK Don’t suppose there’s a video of it in use is there

Light lens The uk models were exactly the same. There never was a lens on the headlight. Love these machines Built like brick shit houses. You can throw anything at them and they will take the strain, unlike many of today’s commercial cleaners

No fair It’s such a shame these are not available here in the uk. I think they would probably sell quite well, there’s a lot of people switching from Dyson now to other brands like shark I personally would love one of these. Think it’s time to start searching eBay USA

Beast That’s a beast of a cordless. I wouldn’t mind having that one. We get a few random panasonic cordless vacuums pop up on eBay here in the uk sometimes

I have one Hi I have a 150 with cleaning ensemble hiding in the back of a cupboard somewhere Let me know if your still interested and I’ll dig it out

Been waiting I’ve been watching these guys since the first whispers a few years ago. This model looks impressive A bit different to the original model showcased. It would be good to see how it performs in a house like mine. 6 hairy cats and a hairy dog. Most vacuums get clogged with hair in...

The 1012 Hey Gareth It’s years since I replied to anyone on here. I know what you mean about the scary junior. My mum had one here in the uk. And I was the same it used to scare the he’ll out of me. Instead of keep putting the tools on to clean the dog hair from the sofa she used to pick the...

Hi guys I haven't posted on here for so long but I'm in need of some help I have a tristar exl model A101D and the motor in the powerhead has completely given up. Smoke and sparks and smells really bad. Does anyone know of a substitute motor I can put in the powerhead or does anyone have a...
