    Hoover PurePower Goes Up In Smoke - Literally...

    while the sale of goods act means shops must sell new items fit for use as described and they are responsible to some extent they usually weedle the way out of returns with some excuse or another. unless you dont mind getting 'shouty' in the shop to make your complaint within earshot of...

    James Dyson: "The EU should spur invention, not mediocrity"

    but didnt we already establish that 250w is enough to clean a carpet perfectly on a bagged machine? So why the extra power need? Fine tuning this design on a TANDEM air machine like I mentioned means LOWER wattages on average and far lower than any cyclone machine could even scores out with...

    James Dyson: "The EU should spur invention, not mediocrity"

    Ralph your trolling the wrong people here. Our washers use 1/3 to 1/4 of the water american machines use and we get better wash results. Low wattage cleaners clean better than high wattage cleaners just because they are designed better. What would you pick? A Hoover Convertible using 400watts...

    James Dyson: "The EU should spur invention, not mediocrity"

    Nar at the end of the day a saving is a saving. and if its cost no initial outlay then all the more to gain. A million customers getting a pound each knocked off their leccy bill because their cleaner uses less electricty soon mounts up to energy companies getting less each year. Given they...

    James Dyson: "The EU should spur invention, not mediocrity"

    Given I use our cleaner for approx 1 hour a week in total @ 14p a kw/h using a 2000w Miele costs me 28p. That adds up to £14.56 a year. Given I could use a cleaner averaging 500w for my weekly cleam brings it down to £3.64 SAVING ME £10.92. I know Id rather that 11 quid personally saved...

    James Dyson: "The EU should spur invention, not mediocrity"

    Ralph the rules are a good thing and what we have needed for a while. Its only going to see that we get great performing machines with lower wattages.

    James Dyson: "The EU should spur invention, not mediocrity"

    First of all Let me wave to Jimmy D' Heeeeya! Im pretty sure you'll be reading this given your tactics played so far. Well course he's wetting himself. When consumers actually realise (which WILL happen due to the legislation) they dont need high wattage cleaners to do the job and they are...

    WHY DO THEY NEVER LISTEN?!

    ~Alex They have to learn for themselves. Everytime my Mum had a new bagless 'cheap' cleaner all I heard was 'it loses its suction' 'I dont know why' 'Its a good make' 'its lightweight' and then she wondered why nothing was performing or lasting very long. I waited ten years after countless...

    How to get rid of bad smell from Dyson DC07?

    Spraying aftershaves or colognes onto the filters is a bad idea. Teh alcohols, oils, gasses and other propellants can attack various plastics and make them weak. Some even dissolve the plastics over time. Far better to strip the cleaner down, wash in the bath tub with a mild detergent, dry...

    Argos now bringing in the new EU regs machines.

    I could understand that if I was such a nasty person that I wouldnt have quite the number of REAL TRUE friends I have. Sure I've had my moments on this forum but then I know everyone does. What I dont get is that if I was such a vile bile spewer why 25 odd people turned up at my home last...

    Argos now bringing in the new EU regs machines.

    Someones mis informed. Sure ive removed a few numpties along the way - a moderator does that. Only thing is you heard one side of the story. Just like your seeing one side of the story with low wattage vacs. However being a mod there means I dont have to explain myself to anyone least not...

    Argos now bringing in the new EU regs machines.

    Chris Given 25 people were standing in our workshop 2 weeks ago using an eco henry alongside other vintage and newer high power vacs 'EXPERIENCING' and 'AGREEING' first hand that high wattage means nothing Im more inclined to dismiss 'Steve Jones' views given his is the only view as such in...

    Blocking someone and telling them? Lovely Troll behaviour there. Luckily Chris wont take it to heart and it only confirms what we know about you. Block me - if you have not already but given your slagging off cleaners you aint even used just goes to show your mentality - god help the kids...

    Train track lines...

    Have used so many brands of cleaner andso many models high priced and low yet the best machine I have for grooming ability is the Electrolux Intensity. Agressive brush roll, tightly packed stiff bristles and a very short amount of ducting between the floor and bag. Its nothing short of genius.
