Those little oblong air fresheners smelt horrible, unlike the round air fresheners Hoover used to produce. I still have stocks of orchard blossom, spring bouquet, summer meadow and tobacco clear. They are like a time machine for me, with every whiff transporting me back to the 80's.

One inch thick carpets! You'd better not ever invite Mickey Rooney over or you'll never be able to find him. Check out the link below where I took part of that quote from.

I am toying with getting a Dyson cordless after my positive experience of the DC40, but will probably go for the DC44 so I have an excuse to upgrade to whatever is the top model when I chose to get another. I had one of the early animal cordless hand held machines and wasn't that impressed, but...

I like onion bagels.

Thank you Brian, I enjoy making the videos and try to make them informative and entertaining most of the time. There is still a lot more to come, unboxings, reviews and general floorcare fun. Oh, I'm a poet and didn't know it! I should use that line at the end of my next video.

I uploaded that video. It was blocked in some countries due to copyright issues.

I saw that article and wondered what she was going on about the Airram. I didn't find mine hard to push as the brushes help to pull it along. I'm wondering if her sample was faulty.

Just received a Cordless Floormate from Vax after I mentioned that I would like to test one and I must say I am very impressed so far. I have owned many Floormates from the first Hoover branded one we got in the UK to the later Spinscrub Vax Trio model. I also own an earlier cordless Floormate...

I have never had any belt problems with Sebo vacs, but regular flat belts do stretch and snap after a while. My Turbopower 2 seems to suffer from the stretched belt syndrome more than any other upright I've owned and while the brushes still rotate, you can hear the activator slowing down on...

I have been using it on max, but going forward I will probably use it on normal as it is easier to push and the normal setting works best on my hard floors. The only thing it will not clean is my wool rug in the living room. With the brush on, the cut out operates and stops the brush bar and...

I really am loving my DC 40. It is certainly the best Dyson I have used and it makes me want to try some of the other new Dyson models. I may get a cylinder next because I'm not keen on using an upright for above floor cleaning and I like some of the Dyson tools, especially the soft dusting...

Unboxing video The unboxing and first look video has just gone live on my channel.

I think packardmanken was asking about the solution to put in the floor washer he owns, not suggesting he would use a vacuum not designed for wet use. I believe you should avoid anything bleach or pine based as they can damage the plastics. I would have thought modern Hoover solution designed...

I got my Dyson from Very. It's on offer at £219 but I get 15% discount off all electricals and up to 25% off other items.

I have only used the tools briefly on my stairs and cleaning a blind with the soft dusting brush that I still had from when I owned a Dyson before. The hose is just a bit short to reach comfortably to the top of the stairs, even with the wand attached and I found cleaning my blind a bit tiring...

After emptying There doesn't seem to be an excessive amount of dust inside, but I only used it for regular cleaning, no very fine dust or icing sugar. It's hard to tell from the photos, but it's pretty clean in there.

I make some comment about James in the unboxing video. I think I referred to him as Mr Smug. I do have a few (several dozen) light hearted digs at Mr D during the unboxing, but after using the DC40 throughout my house, I must say, I think the rift may be healed. Here's my first bin load which...

It will only go where your dirty mind will take it.

My ball seems loose enough. The hose is stiff though.
