    From straight-suction canister to canister with electric attachments

    If one person moves from a home that has hard floors to carpets, they'll probably invest in a carpet washer too. You've said it yourself though, people tend to buy uprights for carpets. Good diagram though. My Electrolux Excelio has a power nozzle socket. It was obviously put there by the...

    How many 1990's Dirt Devils have you seen in one place?

    The reason why some may not be around any more is because owners keep 'em. This seems to occur on Ebay UK at times when a rare-as-hens-teeth Broomy upright comes up or the original Room Mate.

    TheBoss SmartVac Discontinued?

    Good point fan-of-fans - only some brands are continually using the same design and just adding updates. This is what SEBO do as they are an independent company and they're not into wasting money. Surely it isn't going to be any more expensive to update an older vacuum versus churning a...

    TheBoss SmartVac Discontinued?

    Thanks for the info. I dont know why I was under the impression it was bagless. I have seen a similar bagged one in the UK but in blue and a silver or yellow filter grid cover.

    thinking of getting henry

    If you have a 32mm hard floor brush tool already and friction fit, you'll be able to use it with Henry. When I lived in a student halls of resident and self contained flat, I had a Henry 1200 watt vac that the student company finally furnished me with. Lots of open spaces and plenty of...

    TheBoss SmartVac Discontinued?

    In the UK, the equivalent brand is AEG. AEG released a bagless upright some time ago which I had a look at and also noticed a very similar model by Vax (TTI owned). (Check previous link if you want) There's every possibility that either the SmartVac has been discontinued completely or the two...

    Vorwerk in US

    Well that wasn't a response to you I made, but to Eurekaprince who feels that no other brand including SEBO comes close. Like some other brands, there's always several unique factors with every appliance and vacuums are no different. I'm not slating Vorwerk; I wouldn't have gone out and bought...

    Nilco / Fakir / Vanguard Upright

    Im not sure but sensotronic on here might be able to help. He's done a great video on his Nilco upright.

    thinking of getting henry

    Only a fine line of dust can occur with Henry vacs if the synthetic dust bag has had severe dust to pick up with. I think that can happen with most canister vacs to be honest. I know it happens with my Miele vac and that uses a synthetic material bag as you might know. But then.. the HEPA FLO...

    thinking of getting henry

    I have owned the previous 1200/600 watt and the newer EU law "mk1" Henry vacs. Both are powerful and both are great to use. By the looks of it, the Lindhaus HF6 offers a similar design and has tool storage on board as a bonus which the U.S model does not. There is a single clip where a brush...

    Vorwerk in US

    I beg to differ... There are some unique features that Vorwerk offer with their uprights in general but versus the SEBO Felix there are some similarities. Variable suction control, swivel neck, brush roll on/off (with previous Vorwerk PN heads such as the EB350 & EB351), the ability to lie flat...

    interesting trend with Wessel Werk nozzles

    A lot of older Wessel Werk floor tools are just the same but with a different more modern hood. Only a few in the range are new from the ground up.

    interesting trend with Wessel Werk nozzles

    As far as I'm aware, Wessel Werk have been supplying different brands since the late 1960s (may even be earlier since the company came to be in 1931) with floor heads and dependent on the country, not all carpets need a rolling brush since some countries are a lot warmer than the UK. Thin...

    Introducing Henrys little sister..

    Looking at the link Seamus has supplied, you can see the different specs per model. The smaller body isn't all that small despite capacity dropping to 6 litres from 9 litres.

    Vorwerk in US

    Hi Vorwerkfan - welcome! I recently bought in a much longer cord for my Vorwerk from Germany and it has a 2 pin plug as standard. I had to buy an adaptor plug for usage in the UK. Im not too sure about voltage changes in the U.S though - if you can buy in a U.S cord with a U.S fitted plug, you...

    Are cordless vacuums overrated?

    Well, it they do, they'll probably change the face of all cordless vacs including robotic discs.

    Are cordless vacuums overrated?

    Jonathan makes a very good point that cordless has a long way to go to replace corded vacuums. There is a lot of hype behind them but then that's to be expected with new appliances. I have yet to find a cordless vacuum that can successfully clean carpeted stairs though. Far more continuous...

    Hoover Turbomaster U5094 Total System

    Thanks Benny, I have never seen those Panasonic upright ads until now! I guess the reason there were far and few between was when WHICH took it upon themselves to stir up trouble when a child stuck their finger into the brush roll of a moving Panasonic upright who were then forced to fit silly...

    Hoover Turbomaster U5094 Total System

    I dont think I have ever seen a Panasonic vacuum cleaner ad on TV and Electrolux upright ads have been few and far between.
