    Why Dyson is the best vacuum in the planet.

    I had to block this person from commenting on my videos as he was very annoying with far too much time on his hands as he wrote complete essays with a very notable bias towards Dyson. My own reviews are based on what I think about the product in my own home, how easy it is to use and how they...

    SEBO x7

    It's strange that despite all these imrovements, the dust pick up from carpets is a D rating compared to the X1.1 which gets a C and why should a consumer have to pay £100 more for a boost model to get a better carpet cleaning score. Another backward step on the X7 is the lack of a handle lock...

    How Do You Explain You’re Into Vacuums Cleaners ?

    I find it easier to come out as gay than to admit I collect vacuum cleaners. As a child I would talk about nothing else, not realising or even caring that people may find it odd. I've put a few videos on Youtube and often make fun of myself for liking vacuum cleaners, I find that's the best...

    Felix being discontinued?

    All the current Sebo Felix Eco models are discontinued as are the X1.1, X4 and X5 series uprights. The X series are being replaced with the X7 and X8 models and the Felix seems to be called Epower instead of Eco, but the models I've seen look the same. It is highly unlikely that Sebo will drop...

    Kirby Sentria II Airflow Losses

    Fake EU label This was posted on my Facebook page which prompted me to find the genuine one. I knew it was fake when I saw the decibel and dust emission ratings.

    Kirby Sentria II Airflow Losses

    The EU label is hidden well on page 64 of the online instruction book. I was surprised that it gets the same rating as a straight suction Henry on carpets and floors.

    1985 HOOVER PORTAPOWER S1126!

    That Portapower is the correct colour and not nicotine stained. It was only the early USA made version that was white.

    Miele C3 Total Solution Allergy or Sebo Airbelt E3 Premium

    The E Series also stores the upholstery nozzle at the back of the machine, but Sebo do not supply a dusting brush as standard though this is available with a clip to store it on the wand. I have the base model with a 700 watt motor and the suction is very good and more than adequate for hard...

    Hoover Turbolite From Late 80s

    The fleece bags are from Ebay. They are more than twice the width of the originals but fit OK. They are also good for the two Maytag uprights I have. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Microfibre-Vacuum-Bags-Filter-Hoover-Turbo-Power-Turbolite-Turbomaster-H18-/391306522045?hash=item5b1bafadbd

    Hoover Turbolite From Late 80s

    I hand washed my bag and it was OK. With a new brushroll and fleece bags the performance may be better than I remember. I may get the tools for it if I can.

    Hoover Turbolite From Late 80s

    Back to the Turbolite Anyway, for Steven Harley here's a link to the Turbolite I unboxed. Since the video it has had a good clean and a new agitator and other parts replaced. I managed to gently handwash the bag without removing the lettering and hope to make a full demo video of it soon.

    Hoover Turbolite From Late 80s

    I can't watch Numaticvacuum any more after he was nasty about me and my channel in this forum. He has quite a bad reputation among vacuum cleaner collectors and even has a few nick names that I can't repeat on an open forum like this one. I guess he likes to stir up trouble, but at least people...

    Hoover Turbolite From Late 80s

    It's easy enough to change a plug Alex.

    Hoover Turbolite From Late 80s

    Did you buy that from Alex. It looks like the one he had, right down to the writing on the bag that has been touched up with a red pen.

    Is there any difference between an 800w Miele and a 1600w one?

    The Miele S7 was designed for the UK market according to an article in an electrical retailing magazine I've got somewhere. In fact it was launched in the UK before the States. Yes, it is rather large and clumbersome for the average UK home, but I've always found it does a good job. A Miele...
