I used to buy a lot from Argos, but they have just gone down the route of selling bagless bagless bagless, and I've had enough of bagless vacs. The bagged vacs that Argos sells can be obtained elsewhere online at cheaper prices, so I'm afraid Argos just aint what it used to be.

I've given up on Argos and Currys now - they just don't sell what I want. I've given up buying cheapo bagless Chinese plastivacs, so that doesn't really leave much else left at Argos. Miele, SEBO and Bosch vacs are cheaper elsewhere, so I order them elsewhere. If it aint made in the UK or made...

Tell him all about it - the premotor filter should not be doing that, and you require him to find out why its doing it. The fact it clogs very quickly suggests that the rubber gasket at the bottom of the bin (the inner one) may be leaking allowing dust to escape up the cyclone tubes in reverse

I will be watching out for these then - a new SEBO model is a rare event, and I look forward to seeing one of these machines for sale in the UK, and the exact specs for it, including where the main on/off switch is, and what exactly the orange switch on the side of the floorhead does, as we are...

It isn't that much of a problem for me anyway, as I can always get the K3 out if I want to do my hard floors as well as the carpets, as I have a lot more carpet than hard flooring. If the updated X series still retains the auto height adjuster computer AND does have the orange switch on the side...

As much as I like the S7, I just don't use it, it feels fragile and the parts are so expensive if it goes wrong. The X4, although a lot older in design is a much better cleaner to use In everyday cleaning, easier to push, robust, and has reasonably priced bags and brushrolls etc. The S7 has more...

You will probably find that the filters are classed as wear items and are not covered by warranty. Although if you tell the engineer you are disappointed with Dyson and will be getting a SEBO in a few months when the warranty expires, they might throw in a HEPA filter for free in an attempt to...

The headlight lens is longer and thinner on the US version, so they are different hoods, although they look similar.

They have just started selling these, despite in 4 months time they will be illegal to sell at their current power ratings. Only 1 model is 1600W, the rest are over this, in contravention of the new EU rules. What is the bag situation now? Have Hotpoint now got these in stock? I just cant...

The U4003 being the second from left in this picture. I assume the difference was in the bag design, the cable wraps being on the other side of the handle and the on/off switch position? Thanks for pointing that out Seamus - learn something new every day.

SEBO could have in mind that the G1 and the BS36/46 series will be retired and replaced with the Evolution. It may even replace the 370 and 470 models too, as these are very similar to the BS36/46. At present, the UK lineup comsists of the BS36/46 and the Dart uprights for commercial use, and...

Its a nice looking machine - and retains the classic SEBO look. I too think that orange lever on the base is a mechanical belt engager, like the ones found on older Panasonic uprights. I cant imagine that they would put the main motor on/off switch on the side of the floorhead where it would be...

Weren't this type imported when Hoover UK workers were on strike over pay, and they needed models to sell, so imported them from the USA and changed the motors, or something like that. These style were never intended to be sold in the UK.     PS - Nice phones Seamus - never knew you...

I did look at this one, but decided against it as it looked heavily used.

I thought Dyson were supposed to be sending an engineer to engineer a fix for it?

And to quote the old Argos question - would you recommend this cleaner to a friend?

Wow, that's quite a review. I thought it would be a good idea to ask you again about this vac after you'd used it for a couple of months. I haven't had a look at the Hotpoint website lately so not sure if they have bags for these in stock now. Based on your findings, I think I'll pass on the...

I was just wondering if you still had it, as you were on about getting rid of it in earlier posts. I would imagine its much better with bags, as you are not forever emptying them. I can go weeks on end with bagged vacs without even having to look at the bag. So much more convenient - even if...

Hi HiLo - any progress report on the new Trolley Vac - how's it performing and are you now using it bagged?

  Dyson are no more superior than Vax and certainly not that much superior that they deserve to sell for several hundred pounds more than a Vax. I think £100 was a reasonable price to pay for an Air Reach considering all the features it has, and much better value than spending £430 on a Dyson...
