Well...Panasonic did fit 2 belts in some of their uprights...And if it didn't have 2 belts, the sole plate could have been all metal which makes it easier to glide on a carpet than plastic as well perhaps being better on the pick up.[this post was last edited: 7/20/2016-19:00]

Nope, these hand helds have nothing to do with TTI and were first sold in the UK under the Hometek brand. The Dirt Devil you see before you is from Dirt Devil Europe which at a time was owned by trader companies such as Pulse Home Products and latterly Salton. They were made in China but not by...

The Tiger has never been available in the UK, but plenty of the uprights have and they get top scores alongside other uprights. However Which has maintained that for the price of a Vorwerk, you can buy two standard vacuums.

You might have got 1400 or 1600 but you didn't get the 2000 or 2200 watt vacs that Miele brought over from Germany and sold all through Europe and UK. What the U.S got as a U.S exclusive were those European Panasonic uprights that the U.S decided to go and rebadge as the Miele 180 (183 etc)...

My late parents' old A901 Kenwood Chef always came with a liquidiser as standard but it leaked every time they used it. I suppose looking back, and I still own the original hard back recipe book as it is super, that's all you really needed when looking through the suggested recipes. Now they...

I have a non-electric hose for my Vorwerk and its absolutely fine. However like the rest of the vac, the plastics aren't good. I know it is different for the VK135 models after that, though. Whilst I am in support of cordless, my best friend who has two SEBO vacs and one he bought from me...

Good points, Jon. Yes the Vorwerk is not the be all end all and it shares its just expensive pricing as a Kirby upright would in the UK. However the pricing is astronomical even if Vorwerk UK offered me a big discount to buy the then new VK150, before the VK200 came out. I believe however...

Ironically it was also on sale in the UK under a Dirt Devil badge - made by Dirt Devil Europe which was a different company to TTI Dirt Devil. Dirt Devil returned a few years ago to the UK with TTI vacs.

The irony is that this model would probably sell well today if it had a better higher filtration or synthetic disposable dust bag.

Yes but the U.S never got the higher powered vacs that we used to get in the U.K, either.

Good but... If it was my listing, I'd put the thing together and show what it looks like fully assembled. It isn't enough to just take it out of the box. I'd also write on the actual listing that I have put it together to show what it looks like. Adding something next to it that is bigger would...

Im right there with you! The DD Handy vac has always been good. Trouble is, they're very rare in the UK now. I did have one in the 2000s but it had a very short power cord on it when the first one I had (had a Royal faceplate instead of Dirt Devil) had a huge amount of cord. I know they sell...

I had a similar one years ago in the UK. Chinese made. Goes under the name of Hometek Hunter and I bought it for my partner. They're noisy, blow out a lot of hot air, not that compact and about the only use I got out of it was using to clean my partner's carpeted stairs. Also the back of the...

Duh, yeah. You might even get more for it by showing everything.

I owned a Glider a few years ago but I would never have one or the other again. I find the Z500s so much easier to push. But then I was a fan of the TP2 for many years as well - so much better built and not as much of a struggle to push until I grew to 6ft height and found I had to stoop to push...

SEBO's newer one might be a match, too. Looks like it has been released in the U.S

Looks pretty good. I like Miele's twister Parquet floor tool - but I find I have to use a higher suction power level to get the best pick up.

Is that pic showing the one you have? Looks like one that Alexhoover94 has.

The reality is that consumers are not voting because most if not all couldn't care less about a mere vacuum cleaner chalking up a power bill. In my opinion there's no point in quoting older vintage vacuums because that was in the past and lets face it, all of these brands that you mention also...
