Electrolux Hi Alan, I take into account all the points you are making as they are very valid but something just doesnt add up. Ekectrolux cleaners wer reliable but I wouldnt say they were over reliable, well, I mean there are always a few at my local tip. They were so popular that they MUST of...

Hi all, Just wanted to ask about Electrolux UK since I dont think its been talked about too much since the company disappeared in 2014 I think. Does anybody know the real reason why Electrolux UK dont sell vacuum cleaners over here any more? It saddens me as I really loved Electrolux cleaners...

Dirty Dysons! Dyson vacuum cleaners are definitly my least favourite to service/repair. I hate taking the cyclones apart there so fiddly and messy and awkward to clean and are almost guaranteed to be covered in fine dust. My favourite vacuums to service are bagged uprights. There so much...

Dirt Devil Handheld We had these in the UK and they were quite good and were really common in the 90s. They stopped selling them over hear in about 2007. Its a shame because they were decent and Corded handhelds are getting really hard to find over here now especially with a rotating brush...

My Mother! Nobody really uses mine in my house except my mother, and I wish she wouldnt! Its not very often she does because I usually always do the vacuuming but when she does I would rather her just leave it altogether! She isnt thourough enough for me, but thats no surprise since us...

Vacuum Bags Well, the availability of bags is even worse in the UK! You guys are saying you can only find aftermarket bags in grocery stores and supermarkets, well here in the UK we cant find any! Nevermind fleece bags, I would just like to see any bags in the stores, we have none. The only...

Suppressors The problem is its not just when the vacuum is initially turned on that they can blow. They can blow when the vacuum has alrrady been on running and they can actually blow during use. I was using a vacuum once and the suppressor blew 25 minutes into vacuuming! I was vacuuming as...

kirby519 I know thats the point I am trying to make. Because the older machines were sold well before television took off and the internet wa even invented they mainly had to rely on word of mouth and in home demonstrations whereas Dyson had more ways of marketing his machine. Where I live, all...

Bagless vacuums The reason that Dyson calls himself the creator of the worlds first bagless vacuum cleaner is because his design was the very first one that truly took off. All the other bagless models listed on here like the tristar compact and the rexair machine from the 1930's are very old...

Hello, this is more for the UK collectors as this is a uk machine that I am trying to fix. I pulled an electrolux twin turbo z551 out of my local tip about a year ago and it worked fine and has done with regular use for the last year or so. But recently, the motor started making some unusual...

Hoover Purepower I checked Hoovers website aswell and althogh its still on there its says out of stock. Also, the only place I could find them new was ebay but I think ebay always has a load of old stock lying around still new. It isnt in the argos book anymore, nor online. Because its out of...

I was wondering wether someone out there can tell me if it has been discontinued after its long 20 year run 1998-2018? I know Hoover still produce the Enigma variant which is basically the purepower with a different paint job and the same mold. Its just that I looked on argos and amazon and a...

Bag Full Indicators I think pretty soon this will be an obselete topic anyway. The way things are going, cleaners are getting cheaper and cheaper, wether its piston or neon, soon there wont be any bag full indicators at all.

Hello everybody, I was looking at pictures of different purepowers in the range made by Hoover when I saw this for sale on gumtree. The only reason this interested me was because it has a very odd looking on/off switch that I have never seen on a purepower before. Its definitly not a...

Cordless Vacuums I dont think cordless will ever fully take over. There are just too many people that want a corded vacuum as they are more reliable and they want a full sized upright. As someone else said on here, not to mention the unlimited running time.

I dont know who else has heard this but I have just seen a Dyson advert with James Dyson saying that the company has ended the production of corded full sized vacuum cleaners so if you want one I would get one whilst you still can! He said he has managed to get the power of a full sized vacuum...

Shop vac Well, this is the problem as I stated in the title of my thread! People are so wasteful and dont even know the most basic thing like unclogging a vacuum. This is an embarrasment when compared to 50 years ago when people would service their own vacuum cleaners.

Huskyvacs What you said about the eu law on the wattage is true and I think that on low mode the henry is 1000w snd on high it is 1200w. When the eu rule first came in there was a peak time of vacuums being thrown out. I have just ordered from amazon a full tool kit complete with 10 genuine...

my trash found Henry No mold in sight on this, but as stated its a disposable world. As kirbyvertibles said its highly likely that someone just didnt want to keep buying bags. And whats more is it is a fairly new Henry and it even has the two speed motor. I might add that it did get a wipe down...

Found a Numatic Henry HVR200A at the tip, and there isnt a thing wrong with it! It even has two speed settings.
