joshdonnell - I see you own a Miele Capricorn - now that IS a quality machine, someone with very good taste in vacs. I have the UK equivalent

Maybe Niclonnic thinks that regular trash bags for his trash can cost much less than vacuum bags, so it saving him money? Bagless is fine if you like to maintain the vac more yourself by washing its filters, and replacing them when advised in the instructions, and also like to get your hands in...

I hope they do supply you with the 2014 model - this is always a problem when a company updates a model - many suppliers still keep sending out old stock models even though the company website shows the new model. Look at the SEBO K3 premium - its been supplied with the ET-1 power head for...

Seamus - that company who you bought the Truvox from in Ireland - they may have used the wrong photo on that EBAY ad - here is the cleaner they offer on their website for the same price - its the old model. I wouldn't be surprised if you receive the old model...

To Mr Parwaz - Yes, I would say a Riccar like Seamus's is a lot better than a TP1, but its about 30 years newer in technology than a TP1, and  has 2 suction motors.

I can predict that with the new EU regs coming in soon, Canister models for use on carpet may well have to be offered with a power nozzle facilty, especially if the 900W max law ever comes to pass in 2017, as turbo brush floorheads need a lot of power to work properly, and only became popular on...

I'd imagine the suits from Tacony would want a bit more than a bit of chat on VL before making the decision to ship the new Maytag range to the UK and Europe. In continental Europe, hard floors rule the roost, so not many uprights get sold. The UK does have a love affair with uprights, but I...

Seamus - did you buy that new style Truvox Valet I showed you on EBay - the one from Ireland - cos its gone now? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161292983243?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&clk_rvr_id=641194886069&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Also - apparently the UK is falling in love with carpet again - so more uprights will be needed to clean them with, again, here is an opportunity to slot Maytag machines into the UK upright market http://www.sebo.co.uk/news/press-releases/the-nation-is-in-love-with-carpet-once-again/

The Maytag name is heard of over here. It was used in the early 2000's to sell a few US built Hoover machines, like the Sattelite and the Windtunnel. The name is associated with the USA so people would know it was an American brand. Could the likes of the Riccar Brillianace be marketed under the...

Well, Seamus - top marks for the Riccar Brilliance Deluxe then, and  this sells in the US for pretty much the same price as  a UK model DC54 (about $850) - so it beats a Dyson hands down then. Tacony are apparently watching this thread, and no doubt will be thrilled a UK customer has now had...

Roger - did you know that Tacony are already here in the UK anyway - They own Truvox commercial cleaning machines, based in Southampton?   Also, if a small company like SEBO can sell to the US domestic market, then I really think that its getting time to introduce Riccar and Simplicity...

I will admit though that I was brainwashed by Dyson too, buying my first brand new Dyson DC07 in 2002, which replaced a Hoover bagged Turbopower 3. I replaced the DC07 in 2006 for a DC15, again swallowing all the hype about the "ball" which was all new and the latest technology blah blah blah...

Again Roger, its the price that would put people in the UK off. There is no getting away from the fact that Riccar is a very expensive brand - we know why its expensive, because its made in the USA instead of China, and its produced to a high standard. The problem is going to be in convincing...

Stan - I don't think Niclonnic is actually listening to anything anyone has to say against his bagless machines. Most young people know no better as they have been brought up around bagless vacs. Its only the older generation that appreciate the benefits of bagged, before James Dyson came on the...

I suppose the problem would be the price. If these Riccar cleaners sell for up to $1500 in the US, then people in the UK just would not be prepared to pay that much. This is maybe one of the reasons Miele do not make the S8 Premium and other power nozzle canisters available in the UK, as they...

Its only natural that I vote Labour Benny because I live in a deprived city that's racked with poverty and deprivation, thanks to the Tories. I see the results of "welfare reform".

The Air Ram is the best selling vacuum cleaner?  lol I wonder what Mr Dyson thinks about this? Its not a machine I'd want however, its far too expensive for what it is.

Benny - would you want to work full time for £70 a week? because that's what Workfare is. Its modern day slavery and exploitation of those who cant get proper jobs. It also gives employers a reason to take on less properly paid staff. This country is not China, its an expensive country to live...

Well, you made your views on Labour - above in this thread, very clear Benny, I vote Labour, and I have to disagree with your views. That is all. [this post was last edited: 5/28/2014-07:19]
