    What do you think of the new numatics?

    Well you have to remember plastics have changed in recent years. They are made from more recycled materials and there is a constant push for weight saving. The bristles on the dusting brush on henrys are natural horse haris aren't they? And given the fact henrys have been less than £100 for...

    Explain how the quality of them has deteriorated.

    What do you think of the new numatics?

    I dont discriminate. Build quality of numatic products has not deteriorated. I think the new head design is superior to what they have been using and more suitable for home environments not to mention actually performing better. That new head which a we know is from Germany probably doesnt cost...

    What is you favourite type of vacuum?

    Bagged, western built machines; Sebo, Numatic, even Kirkby. I will support local manufacturing over far eastern rubbish any day of the week.

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    I dont see how the size of a room has anything to do with if a vacuums brushbar can cope or not. Surely the type of carpet would have more of an impact. Unless also if you are talking about the width of the cleaning path, in which case, dyson are no different to most vacuums in Europe or the US...

    A decent "best buy" reccomendations from Trusted Reviews.

    Im not too sure to be honest. Britain is a hybrid of imperial and metric, like India for example. We use litres to measure our fuel for example, but all our road signs are in miles and yards. In fact a sign post was put up using meters in a town centre not far from me and the council got in...

    Don't be scared by the term pint either. It is still an imperial measurement ! 1 US gallon is around 6 pints. My Bosch will hold 4 4 pints in the door or 2 6 pints.

    A decent "best buy" reccomendations from Trusted Reviews.

    Pretty inaccurate assumption of our fridges and freezers you have their Vacerator. One thing that windows me up is when some Americans think that everything in the US is bigger than anywhere else when in fact we do have 8, 9 and in some cases 10KG washing machines and as mentioned, large fridge...

    A decent "best buy" reccomendations from Trusted Reviews.

    Are you too good for asda then, Alex? You do realise they sell all manner of branded goods. I find tesco has actually got trashy and i certainly wouldn't call sainsburys upmarket. I actually enjoy shopping in Lidl, although i find all of this varies from store to store. My local lidl, you find...

    Dyson V6 Total clean ordered

    It has arrived! Came at 12:30pm today by UK MAIL. Put it simply, thee are replacements to full size vacuums. No, i wont stop using my Felix, but that is probably going to be a once per week job as this thing is brilliant. That new cleaner head makes all the difference. Grooms the carpets...

    No, this is not a political forum but this is what conversation does. You are right, sebo4me. Liberalism has never worked and never will. A majority of the world has conservative, right-wing government. Liberalism is a fairytale, ideal, something that doesnt exist but whos supporters want to...

    A decent "best buy" reccomendations from Trusted Reviews.

    Thatcher was not responsible for the end of our many industries, the unions were. It were the unions who were striking all the time, over "not enough sugar in the jars" at the Ford factory in Durham for example, silly things like that. My late father, who was 71 when i he passed away 18 months...

    Torn between Sebo D4 and Simplicity Moxie

    D4 is a beautiful machines. The other one I am not familiar with but it looks very nice. Reference where they are made, that is quite important to me. I have said before, I would buy a British, German, American or Japanese made product over a Chinese made one every time. Wanting to support a...

    Dyson V6 Total clean ordered

    Thought you would be interested T! Very expensive for what some would say is just a handy vac, but obviously we know they are seen as rep-laments to a mains powered unit, which they are. It is something that is used every day, so you do get your money worth. The price is justified by its...

    Dyson V6 Total clean ordered

    So I have had a DC59 for nearly 18 months which I absolutely love. I have used it every day since i got it and my house is that much cleaner for it. The sheer convenience and portability of it coupled with its power is great. Dyson have some offers on their website for their V6 range. I phoned...

    A decent "best buy" reccomendations from Trusted Reviews.

    Yes. Without turning this into a SEBO raving thread, I really like their vacuums and as mentioned in the write up, SEBO have a loyal customer following. Their machines and brilliantly built and perform very well, are easy to use and cheap to run. Not much to dislike about them.

    A pretty accurate and knowledgeable write up from TR, featuring Dyson DC41 MK2, V6 models, Sebo Felix and airbelts and a couple of Mieles, and of course, the Numatic Henry ! http://www.trustedreviews.com/best-vacuum-cleaner_round-up

    cloth or paper bags

    Cloth all the way. They are far more durable, most of them to the point you'll have a hard time actually damaging them even deliberately. Most are electrostatic which helps with airflow, they are essentially one large filter, like just superior in every way and they cost around about the same...

    BAGLESS CANISTER VAC FROM MIELE

    Dont have much time for Miele. There customer service sucks and their machines are not as well made as people make them out to be. Don't like their practices recently either. I still have a problem with their manufacturing being shifted to China for their lower end models. There is no excuse...

    My Vax / TTI nightmare and now ruined carpet

    Very well done to you chap. I do not like Vax products, have never got on with them. Since TTI took them over, they produce cheaply made crap quite honestly. I did not see for example the hype about the air cordless. I had one for a couple of days but took it back and order my dyson dc59 at the...
