    What was your first Turbopower sighting/using?

    The first Turbopower I ever saw was the Burgundy U2184 first generation that my second cousin twice removed had. It was used to clean a 6 bedroom mini mansion farm in Styal, S.Manchester. I never got to use it, I just remember it under the stairs in the huge hall room they had. First time I...

    Miele S7210 vs Dyson DC41/65/big ball

    Tolivac I hardly think its fair to use a blanket statement about on board tool vacs being bulky and awkward to use when that description also fits kirby, royals, bisons et al which dont have tools on but are not very pleasant to use for many people. Also nor is it fair to say the hoses clog...

    What Hoover vacuums are rare?

    Im not sure if I ever dreamt this or if they were real but I seem to recall 2 soft bag TP's from around 89/90 which were white in colour, creamy coloured bags and the height adjuster knob and writing being in either bright yellow and a version with turquiose writing/height knob. I also seem to...

    What Hoover vacuums are rare?

    The Freedom isnt as rare as some would like to think - many are in collections, as is the Red Laquer/Deep Red Laquer (now isnt that a slutty name) glass TP - there was a time when not one collector had one now theres about 10 in circulation including a NIB one in mine. Rarest one it seems at...

    'Options by Hoover' Turbopower - vintagerepairer?

    Hi there This week I got a phonecall from the owner of a repair shop whom Ive known for some years asking if I would like to go and look through his store room and take any spares we wanted. Shelves of obsolete spares and cleaners along with a load of obsolete washer parts we came away with and...

    My new toy!

    Im not talking about your own gain here Im merely pointing out that it comes as a loss to other customers. Customers who dont know any different. Im talking about ethics here. I dont believe anyone should be charged any more or any less than any other customer and this is exactly what is...

    My new toy!

    proper custoimer service? Er I beg to differ. No matter what anyone thinks, any profit making business is out to do just that. This means everything comes at a price to someone somewhere... Your joy at having them swap something second hand and used for its retail value means that either...

    Which Dyson to buy? DC07, DC14, DC27 or DC33

    Why are you stressing? I dont know why you just dont get a henry and have done with the whole hard floor issue like it has been suggested before. Pet hairs on furniture are easily dealt with a hand vac like the AEG motorised brush roll one. Both are easy to store and both work really well...

    My Extensive Collection Part 9

    A member on the washer site had this very same issue with poor photo quality from his mobile phone and he got pictures like this with that awful haze on them. He took a Q tip and dipped it in rubbing alcohol and gave the camera lens a darn good clean. Now his pics are very sharp without a...

    Hoover 427 Vacuum and Kirkby tools- Like new still boxed

    Tease! I was rather thinking I would then have all the Mandarin Blue cleaners they made bar the Conquest and Convertible DAM.... now if those was going for a play...... HAHA Having looked at each range in one time era Hoover made in matching colours, Blue is the colour of the widest choice...

    The YouTube sensation ibaisaic

    Guys let me say I'm disgusted with the behaviour shown here tonight and even more disgusted that the member who was banned has posted about her joys of being removed from this site on a Facebook page. I wont tolerate it on that page as you wont tolerate it here. I seriously hope Roger has...

    The YouTube sensation ibaisaic

    Sorry folks but that's a bit too far and too catty. You both know what a ball ache it is to make videos and load them up and what Roger does is pure genius. Roger is a very kind hearted nice person from where I'm stood and he certainly doesn't come across as 'vain'. Roger I hope that the...
