    Deciding between Miele C3 cat and dog, Sebo Felix and Sebo E3 Premium

    Hi Moe, I would recommend the Miele C2 Compact Cat & Dog. Curry’s currently have it on offer at £189 with £20 off if you trade in your old vacuum - see below link. It offers the same features of the C3 but in a smaller, light weight machine. The turbo brush does a great job on carpets too...

    Why I think canisters aren't popular in United States anymore

    Interesting that it’s widely considered that people stick to what they grew up with. I’m the opposite. My mother was and still is an upright user, but I personally prefer a good cylinder/canister. When I was growing up, most people around me had uprights except a few. On our street, only 2...

    Sebo X7 in the US: when?

    You’re in for a treat, broomvac! I have the X7 Pet, it’s a fantastic vacuum. The increased sealing around the brushroll has really concentrated the suction more, it certainly sticks to the carpet more so than the older models, but Sebo have added 3 suction release holes to the sole plate so that...

    Electrolux UK, What Happened?

    Electrolux are still present on the UK market in the form of AEG and Zanussi branded vacuums, with AEG being the higher end and Zanussi being the budget end to match the washing machine branding. Aside from streamlining the branding, I've no idea what made them do it but suspect it may be...

    Numatic Henry and friends

    I do wish they would introduce a model with an electric powe There have been various Numatic models over the years with power nozzles and for a long time, they were sold as an optional extra. But they never sold well and were eventually dropped completely. Power nozzles have never been popular...

    Numatic Henry and friends

    The UK’s finest! I can’t even begin to describe how common Numatic are over here. You cannot walk down the high street, in a shopping mall, hotel, school or supermarket without spotting some form of Numatic cleaner being used, and they continue to grow in popularity in the domestic market too...

    Why I like Dyson

    I don’t like Kirby OR Dyson 🤷🏻‍♂️ Go figure. Kirby’s are fantastic performers and reliable but I find them too heavy, too loud, too big, too much of a pain to convert to tools and don’t agree with the dirty sales tactics. Dyson’s are a cheap heap of plastic and the cordless models are just...

    New vacuum options: seeking advice

    How is Sebo, Miele or other? If it's reliability you're after, I would definitely consider Sebo. The first Sebo I ever got use belonged to a friends parents who at the time lived on a working farm (it's now a riding school and livery). 21 years later, it's still going strong with only...

    My bargain Sebo X7 Pet!

    Matt that’s the one thing I think is missing from the X7 - the metal handle release and the switch to change the handle release. The plastic one, though tried and tested on the BS36 Comfort, just doesn’t have the same quality as the older style one. According to my friendly local Sebo rep...

    My bargain Sebo X7 Pet!

    I've still to do this day never had an issue with the automatic height adjustment, I've always found it to acheieve the right balance between cleaning, ease of use and wear & tear to the carpet and vacuum. The newer style cleaning head especially deals with our shag rugs incredibly well. I was...

    My bargain Sebo X7 Pet!

    Here’s a few more photos showing the new and old exhaust filter set up, the new brushroll cover release, the old and new style handle release and finally the suction release vents on the underside of the hood. I also forgot to mention, even with empty bags in both cleaners, the X7 does have...

    Kirby's in the European market

    Kirby's are most definitely still sold in Europe and are all still twin speed activated by the hose as normal. They're not wired just for high, unless this is something that's been done on the latest model only as I haven't used that one yet, but the Legend 2 my Mum had and all the models I've...
