Remeber Which? was testing BRAND NEW from the box cleaners to test. Saying you have used one is irrelevant unless you tested a new TP2 and a new Hitachi. Was the belt on the Hitachi in good condition, was the brushroll? Were the filters clean? What state was the bag in? Too many variables -...

I beg your pardon?

whos responding here? you ? Higher performing? The results above tell you which is higher performing and they concur with what I have found. Are you sure? Better quality sounding motor? What hooey. How do you decide what makes a quality sound? The Hitachi makes no difference in quietness...

Brilliant Ryan! Provided mewith a good half hour of interesting reading to say the least. Im not surprised that Hitachi beat the TP2's 3's 1000's as they are a much nicer cleaner to use. They have the 'stick to the floor' performance that the Turbopower 1's had whereas I never felt the TP2...

One has to remember that even back then the Turbopower 1 without tools was fast approaching being a BOL cleaner if it wasnt already seeing as other manufacturers had more advanced cleaners appealing to the average housewife. The turbo was quite a good little money spinner for hoover and having...

Boost The boost feature is actually a Placebo enabling Hoover to have made extra models for the line up. First and second generation TP's had 400w/410w/450w motors and ran on a 2 way switch with resistors to provide the 2 speeds. Around 400w on 2 and around 250w on 1. Third generation and...

What gave you that impression?

Not forgetting the TM has a wider sweeping path for bigger houses and larger areas, The height of the cleaner is also very differential and a massive plus to those over 5'5. Its size of head means that while using the same fan as the TP and a similar motor wattage if not a bit higher means that...

very weird watching this, have been in his shop few times as my other half Paul is from a village outside Accy. the shop is still much the same inside even with the odd 500 series Lux knocking about!

Derek what kind of experiences and stories do you want to hear from us? do tell.....

Chris was mine not at the house when you last came across? If it wasnt then your due a visit lol.

Dyson Quiet? The DC01 is probably one of Dysons quietest cleaners however its not a candidate for the question asked. As for quiet are we talking most quiet on full power or can we include quiet on lowest power? If I need to vac really late at night I tend to go for the Miele S5210 on its...

fittings and fixtures After you said in a previous thread Dyson were coming to remerchandise your new premises Im quite shocked at how basic those Dyson POS fittings and fixtures are, they obviously dont spend the cash that they spend fitting out out stores here with demo stands and models...

sorry to interrupt the broadcast paul see my message sent on fb ta xxx

Chris, between yourself, and Paul 'n' Myself (tuna 'n' sweetcorn not tuna AND sweetcorn LOL) we must have examples of each style of Hitachi upright???? CV50 CV60- many colours of these sold until the CV thingies with tools came in? Now just missing the sculptured curvy version aint we?

Benny, Taken from the 1979 AW Kays catalogue this is the darker brown version. The lighter brown version in the 1980/1 catalogues is the shade you see in my picture of the 2nd version. The one I have in the garage awaiting restoration is indeed this 1979 colour.... instead of being a...

The elusive one.

Yes I finally got the last of the dream vacs and a fewothers I wasnt banking on. First Second Third AND Fourth Series Majors. First was like the second pictured here but in a darker shade of brown (not in picture but still awaiting its restoration. Second with silver tool slider port...

then you need one of these..... The new Major, so powerful cleans so quickly.... (I forgot the vol au vents ooooops)
