Air Fresheners or Baking Soda work nicely when you have a smelly vacuum.

The Vax Air 3 I have has stiff bristles that made sugar bounce on my carpet. Also, that Vax on Argos, notice the hose comes out the side like U.S. versions

I wish we had water filtration vacs in the uk, we probably do though.

Metal extension pipes.

I didn't mean 1990's machines, I meant the ones sold in the early 2000's from £25-£50. I have found a stockist for the Daewoo bags & Wilko also sell their own version too. Hoovers Whirlwind Bagged Cylinder uses Electrolux Powerlite Cylinder Dust Bags also. I was comparing the Daewoo Cylinder...

Miele, Sebo, Kirby, Riccar & Numatic stick to what their good at & keep producing it. If you think about it really the whole shape of all these companies has not changed since they began. Numatic based Henry on their commercial cleaners & Henry's have hardly changed in the last 30 odd years...

Since the Dyson? I can't wait now until the new law comes into force. I see there are new models of Vax cleaners on Argos.

Thing is though, in 2004 you were able to buy Dysons at that price because there was a lot more money around then. But saying that, even in 2004 you were still able to buy cheapie bagged vacs which were always my preference.

Oh how I used to love getting the new Argos Catalogue & flicking through page after page of Bush, Hinari, Goblin, Dirt Devil & Morphy Richards Bagged Cylinders, & about £25 roughly. Sadly, those days are long gone, BUT I hope that we see some more bagged models of cleaner on the market when...

The same model you find in the TV magazines has a suction only floor head but you can purchase an optional full size turbo nozzle seperatly for about £5.

That's the same Stick Vacuum you see advertised in the TV magazines but it is yellow.

As to carry on from what suctior (sorry I don't know your name) I have noticed increased conflict over the past few months. I'm not siding with anyone here but VL used to be a nice place with lovely forum members. But this is a forum, of course, where different opinions clash, but they seem to...

Are you buying any from Argos Steve?

I see there are loads of machines with 1600+ wattages are being sold off for 'half price' & they have been for ages.

I can see now! Accroding to specs the Hoover Enigma still has an 83dBA noise level.

Which machines are the ones with old bodies but low motor wattages?

I now know that Hoover shifted production to China in 2003 ish, the Purepower had already moved in 2002 but I was wandering was the later Turbopower 2 ever made there? I would have thought that by the time all production moved that they had discontinued it.

I use to love to be able to look in an Argos Catalogue & you were able to buy a BRANDED Bagged Cylinder for about the £30 mark. Sigh, how times have changed. I would be happier if I was able to do that still :o

There would hardly be any vacuums in the Argos Catalogue :)

For Steve saying the hose on the base model of Air3 is short, it's 1.5 metres. Wasn't the hose on the original Vax Air 1.1 metres?
