    Model... I've Sent the seller a message asking them to confirm the one I'm getting is the new one- if not they will be having a cancelled order or it sent back. Any problems I will just use the Ebay not as described route..... Seamus

    Tom..... Seriously you need to suggest it. Maytag have a Premium presence in White goods over here and a premium Vacuum would be an excellent fit. As Tacony have a UK presence through Truvox the supply chain is in place and would maybe just need higher capacity?. QVC have a good following over...

    Used it properly and WOW!!! Hey Guys We now have a Brilliantly Brilliance cleaned lounge, hall and bedroom. I have to say the standard upholstery tool is amazing on Cat hair. Considering I vacuumed with the Ensign SM1 (Sebo G1) on Tuesday the fact the inside of the bag was Black and with hair...

    Britain's best selling vacuum cleaner

    I smell BS.... I don't know how anyone could class this as a vacuum cleaner - it is just a glorified sweeper. Anyone that uses one as their only "vacuum" must have filthy carpet.. Seamus

    Is there any vacuum similar to this in the UK?

    Erm.... I'm Seamus lol- Sensotronic is Roger ;-)

    There could be a couple of Major reasons... There are 2 major reasons Tacony would be up against it in Europe- apart from the Miele/Sebo thing 1. The Made in America marketing isn't really a selling point outside of America...... 2. They are able to control the resale prices in the US- this...

    Bags and belts.... Hi Steve Tom G is sending me a decent supply of bags and filters- It has a lifetime belt :) Problem is if you order more on the same order you become liable for Import tax etc which is more than the postage..... My last Kirby bags came from that seller- I can confirm they...

    Nearly I have the earlier version that only has the short hose and pretty naff tools- for carpet it is an amazing performer though!!

    Well a Riccar is crossing the Atlantic :-)

    Steve Yup the actual machine arrived fine :) I know about the Truvox/Tacony connection- the Carpet pro machines are not US assembled though but are still amazing performance wise. Seamus

    Well a Riccar is crossing the Atlantic :-)

    Chris and Steve Right on both counts- although globally doesn't just mean China lol.... I do know the body is made and painted in the US though- the metallic finish is AMAZING- far better than anything on a metallic Miele!!. Stiff strips.... Joshua I actually have a Truvox commercial upright(...
