    Oh Some People! Can You Acutually Believe This?!

    Yes, this is a keeper for sure! Need to find a new post motor filter for it though. The hose is a bit bent too at the top, will see if it can be squeezed out Your video didnt help the urge to want one roger, but now I can tick this one off the list!

    Oh Some People! Can You Acutually Believe This?!

    Sorry to bring this back on track... but its AMAZING! Easily the best upright I've used in a while, I thought the Hoover Vortex (original one) was a good clean fan vac, this blows that away! The seller was alright tbh, certainly not a 'ready meal' sort of person, more a 'go out most nights'...

    Oh Some People! Can You Acutually Believe This?!

    Thats true re bissel and samsung. I had a samsung su3350 recently whick I refurbed to sell, and at the same time one of my neighbors asked me to look at their bissel cleanview upright. Basically the same machine, with just a few cosmetic differences.

    Oh Some People! Can You Acutually Believe This?!

    Yep vax are tti in the uk, we see your bissels and others badged up as vax regularly, even some hoover bits too. I try to leave modern vax machines alone, their usually nothing but trouble

    sebo X1.1 for £7 ? Cheers then ...

    I did like my old x1, strong, good airflow, fairly indestructible, but never got on with the auto height, mainly because I didnt have the right carpet to take advantage of. I took it and a senior 652 to a village hall after we had evas 2nd birthday there and the sebo picked nothing up from...

    Had a bit of a tidy up

    I booked an afternoon off work to get some major loft/house organisation going, and grabbed some time to have a look at the old cleaners! Got all the consumables that I've been getting and leaving all over the house together, took machines up to the loft for now to wait for their turn in the...

    What do you like/love when vacuuming?

    brush roll bearing sounds like when a machine winds down Nowt wrong with that, shows a well restored/cared for machine when you get a smooth wind down. I dont always use machines after I've refurbished them. Yes it's stupid, but after all that hard work that we all put in, why not? It's why I...

    Henry with a little extra performance- It's a Hound :-)

    Their metal tubes with whacking great plastic ends on. The cables connect in a spade connectory kind of way. Youll wanna open that up and clear the oily fluff from the connectors when you get it...

    Henry with a little extra performance- It's a Hound :-)

    I do and dont miss my hound. It did clean well, but the toolset is so clunky. Have electro poles and a battered normal head with the square end if you need them...

    What do you like/love when vacuuming?

    Dc24 brushrolls are a pain! Is a straight 50/50 between the pcb and motor too, and you pray the pcb has 330v coming out of it as thats the cheaper option!

    Hoover Constellation Handle

    Your easiest way is to buy a whole other machine for it! It's always the unobtanium parts that cop it in postage. My Turbopower Junior U1100 Scheme A has smashed wheels. "Please could you pay extra care with the rear wheels and layer up the packaging?" He must have forgotten... (hellp partial...
