    Opinions on Vax Air3?

    I have... Just been given one of these from a friend. The problem they have had with it is that grit makes it's way into the pivot mechanism. This leads to the cleaner head riding up off the floor as you push it forwards. My pal soon had enough of this! It's easily remedied with some WD40...

    Dyson DC02 Restoration

    Parrwaz786 How do you like the contact head? I have tried to hard to like it, I hate it! It works really well in hard floors, but on carpet I feel it's over engineered jumping piece of crap. Not as bad in open spaces, but to me it feel uncontrollable in tighter spaces. I don't know how...

    SEBO Felix Rosso Unboxing Pics

    Enjoy! What do you think of its performance on hard floors? I had the classic model, and part from hard surface pick up i loved it. Even with clean filters and a new bag it still left grit and small stones after vacuuming. So it had to go.

    Dyson DC02 Restoration

    Trusty Dc02 My dad uses the same model as pictured in citroenbx's response. I got it off a neighbour, probably 13 years ago as they kept putting the yellow cone upside down in the clear bin. Stick the filters in the washer. They wash well. My dad's is used for the cars now really. He...

    which is better dual cyclone or root cyclone

    I like a DC04, 07 and 14! I have always advised people to give the cyclones a good wack against the bin, or hard on the floor before emptying. To keep them clear, apart from the rooted 07's, obviously! The carpeted versions of all these machines can really fetch a lot of crap out of carpets...

    Importing US vacs to UK?

    I don't understand why you would bother to add to a thread that you don't care for? You don't like Dyson. That's okay, but some folk do. They work for some of us. It appears childish to fill a thread up vacuum suggestions, when it is completely irrelevant to the topic of the thread. And...

    Importing US vacs to UK?

    Yeah, I get that. But his question wasn't about what you thought of the Dyson. He has asked how he could get a Dyson imported. If you were wanting information about importing a Kirby, how helpful do you think it would be for people to try to convince you to get a Dyson? It wouldn't.
