Saw the family and pets model demonstrated on QVC recently. I may get one if I spot a bargain, especially as they are made in Germany.

Just bought the stick vac today as it was on Rollback to £25 in my local Asda. It's not too bad, but the tools could be better. I think it will fit standard 32mm push fit tools so I can use some better tools including a turbo brush with it. I will upload the unboxing to my Youtube channel...

I would never consider using a vac for anything other than its intended purpose, especially picking up liquids with a dry machine. My first wet/dry vac was a big cream and brown Rowenta and I remember feeling very uneasy about sucking up water for the first time, even though the cleaner was...

I get bored using the same vac day in day out, but whatever vac I pick, it is usually bagged and German.

I just want one for now because I have never replaced the one in my G1. I did wash it sucessfully, but I don't know if it would stand repeated washing.

If you know where to get the exhaust filters please let me know.

Found a new video featuring the Evolution. It's in German, but at least you get to see the cleaner in a bit more detail.

I didn't call him a nob, I called him a knob. Anyway, I'm sure he's been called worse. Cute dog though.

As an owner of a Sebo G1, I can confirm that the height of the cleaning head does not adjust until you put the machine in the operating position, but the cleaner does not need to be turned on. If I hadn't bought a G1, I would have been interested in the Evolution, but I don't see the need to get...

I think the last power nozzle Hoover offered was with one of their top of the range Alpinas.

There is no add to cart button on the website, so although Hoover are still showing the Constellation, you can't buy one direct from them any more. There are many discontinued models on the website including the Z upright, but they are not available to buy. I have three of the stainless steel...

Pictures of new Dyson DC75 Here's a few pictures of the new Dyson DC75 from Very.co.uk. It only states a C rating for carpets unlike the DC41 that has an A rating.

Do not use Fairy liquid as it is not designed for cleaning fabrics and will produce excessive foam and leave a residue on your carpets. The Bissell stuff is OK for use in a Vax providing you dilute it correctly and the Vax Ultra solutions do a good job. If you're on a budget, look for the...

That excludes VAT though.

That video has put me off getting one any time soon. I will save my next Sebo purchase for one of the E series cylinders.

It's interesting to see that a lot of the new revamped Hoover models are now claiming A ratings in all four categories, including the Purepower/Enigma. I wonder if they have changed the brushroll to improve pick up.

The episode where they swap departments in AYBS? is one of my favourites, especially since I actually had the wibbly wobbly playground when I was a child. Being the BBC, they couldn't actually mention the real name of the toys which were Weebles. "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down." What...

The most important thing you can do for your lungs is not smoke.

Speaking for myself, I was brought up with a house full of dogs and was constantly messing about with the contents of vacuum cleaner bags and getting generally dirty playing outside. As an adult I have no allergies whatsoever. Despite bringing up four boys and looking after a traditional...

Here's a recent report about Hoover's financial results. They are a shadow of their former selves and sales are tiny compared to the boom years. As for making a quality cleaner, I think we are lucky that they still market a bagged upright, though my recent unboxing of a new Purepower (which...
