    Shark Uplight and Other Stick Vacuums.

    Some people are so arrogant and dense, clearly never tried a Lupe or Dyson V11, or most new Shark Cordless models.....

    New Sebo Vacuum Cleaner

    Looks very good. The X series Sebo's don't deep clean as well as the new Dyson's and they are pretty poor on hard floors, but it will last forever and they are so easy to use.

    Opinions Wanted: Rug Doctor vs. Bissell Big Green

    They are certainly not the same machine. The bissell uses a large rotating brush roll. The RD uses a sweeping, grooming action brush. The bissell can be use backwards and forwards, the RD can’t. The bissell uses less water and leaves the carpets considerably dryer, probably because it can...

    Looking for a new upright vacuum

    I second the thoughts on a Sebo Felix/Dart. I know they are more expensive state side, but I'd pay Shark/Dyson prices for a Sebo all day every day. They are beautifully built and incredibly serviceable, its why they have such a following, not to mention their power. The ET-1 powerhead is as...

    the best cordless upright vacuum on the market thank you Lindhaus!

    @vacuumdevil Well, I’m telling you that their availability is poor in the U.K. they aren’t as established as Sebo for example and they are incredibly expensive. Not sure it’s worth over £1000. Because that’s how much it is. I’d rather a rechargeable vorwerk at that price, but the Lupe is...

    In the UK, and in North America with some distributors, there are versions of Henry, such as Hetty and Harry, which has address all of those issues, so those different models comes with; telescopic wands (Henry) Airo Turbo floor head which is one of the better air driven ones on a...

    the best cordless upright vacuum on the market thank you Lindhaus!

    @vacuumdevil Have you tried the Lupe cordless? I have one in my living room right now. How much do these retail for? Are they available in Europe at all under the same or a different brand?

    Lupe Pure Cordless Vacuum

    It's currently on offer for £500, thought thought would have taken effect USD as well? To be honest, its light enough to take the handle off and pick the whole thing up to use on stairs. Its not perfect, its cumbersome but it works. Ive used Sebo's like it. Mini power bruhs would be great but...

    How often do Sebo's need servicing?

    As Sebo's are commercial vacuums designed to be easy to repair and maintain, you can easily service them yourself. A service would be a replacement brush-roll, new set of filters (for the Dart, it'll be the fleece filter around the body), generally a strip down of the power-head, washing...

    Lupe Pure Cordless Vacuum

    After using it on short to medium piled carpet at my partners house, this is what came up. Lots of fine dust, despite a Sebo Felix being used. I think the hose on the floor head being stiff is a big reason it doesn’t clamp down on the floor like it should. Probably going to attempt to break...

    Lupe Pure Cordless Vacuum

    Disappointed so far would sum it up, although the brush-bar isn't weak. It's actually very affective, and agitates better than any cordless I have used, but if only it wasn't counter rotating. The brush-bar being in the middle of the floored isn't great for edge cleaning if you aren't using...

    Lupe Pure Cordless Vacuum

    Hi guys, very long time no see! think my last post was 6 or 7 years ago? Becoming self employed in property development has left little time for my former hobbies such as vacuum collecting, but its something I'm getting back into. I've had my trusty Sebo E3 Premium for a couple of years now...

    New "EU" vacuums have less suction than 30 year old vacuum!

    @Mike81 Without turning this political, its one of the reason I voted leave. Not because i care too much for vacuum motors, but its an example of meddling in our affairs, pointless, useless legislation that does nothing but cost us money. You know they want to target kettles and toasters...

    Weird Sebo bags.

    What are you on about Delan? The Chinese make terrible knock offs of most things. Phone chargers and hover boards which explode, tainted fake cow and gate baby milk which kills baby's, fake arm and hamour toothpaste which can leave you sick and fake hotwheels with lead paint. Producing in...

    Introducing Dyson V8

    Looks like a very decent improvement over the existing one. I have the v6 absolute and it is fantastic. Biggest gripe is the emptying of it as it collects so much dirt, it sticks round the shroud, but this looks to have completely addressed that. Compared to mine, the max mode run time has...

    Weird Sebo bags.

    Well no, it's pretty obvious if those bags are leaking and have different collars, they are not the real McCoy. Fake, knock of items are everywhere, from fake exploding iPhone chargers to as it appears vacuum bags. There is a difference between aftermarket bags which don't claim to be genuine...

    Never thought I'd see the day . . .

    This model has been around for a few months now, and ibaisaic done a review on one. Bit of a pig to use.

    What do you think of the new numatics?

    The simple fact that they have kept the price the same for several year kind of outweighs the cost cutting, although i am not convinced that those things would hamper reliability too much. Thing is, people would rather pay less for something with less quality, than better quality at a higher...
