    Why don't more UK canisters have Power nozzles?

    Just ignorance... Okay, maybe I was too harsh, I find it hard to detach myself from the "collecting point of view" But I feel very strongly about the fact that any home with rugs or carpets needs a brushroll head of some sort, with it be a turbo nozzle or an upright or a power nozzle, it makes...

    Rainbows in the UK?

    Sirena Yeah I saw a video about the Sirena on Youtube, it looks nice! I think after I get my Kirby Classic 1 CR imported my next vacuum will be a water filtration one, there's a neptune on EBay for 50 quid including shipping....

    My Kirby G5 finally arrived!

    the back panel has been replaced.... The lower cord hook on the G5 is notorious for snapping, it's probably something to do with the colour used as the g4 cordhook was stronger, this is why a lot of g5s have a replacement (usually g4) back section to the handle. I suggest staying with the...

    Why don't more UK canisters have Power nozzles?

    Oh I had the purple and magenta one, I didn't like it as the agitation and suction was poor and it clogged to much.

    Why don't more UK canisters have Power nozzles?

    there's so much more to life than cleaning a carpet. Is there? To be honest vacuums and Sci Fi is all I have, sorry if I came across as rash, but it just annoys me when people don't consider the performance of the Vacuum. Either way, I'm more of an upright person, but Kirby's are my favourite

    Vax Air Cordless Lift!

    Thanks, I was being a little sarcastic, a bit like ibaisaic :P Thanks though :D But the Vax Air is a great vacuum, the only problem is clogging, but apart from that it seems like a very powerful vacuum, I mean the suction is poor, but the agitation really makes up for that, like the Hoover...

    Why don't more UK canisters have Power nozzles?

    Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. It's just annoying that people use straight suction on carpets, it's pure ignorance, the suction and thread picker aren't strong enough to remove the embedded grit and hair, it just doesn't have that reach and power that a brushroll has. But the majority of...

    Vax Air Cordless Lift!

    So my best friend needed a new vacuum, but he insisted on a cordless, they have a small semi-detached town house, so it couldn't be bulky, so I told them to look up the vax air cordless lift. I recommended the lift because they have 3 flights of stairs in there house, anyway after telling them...

    Rainbows in the UK?

    Most of them are American on Youtube. Apart from Rainbows are there any other water filter vacs on sale in Britain at the moment?

    Why don't more UK canisters have Power nozzles?

    They do last a decent amount of time in comparison to other Dysons, but most I find nowadays have snapped handles or the plastic is so brittle it's cracked in several places. And on top of that they've all be clogged up :P

    Rainbows in the UK?

    Yeah same, although they might be worth the money since the motor has no carbon brushes to wear out. They seem like sturdy machines, I wonder what their performance is like though. So how long have Rainbows been sold over here? Does anyone on VL have one in the UK? I expect James would, but then...

    Rainbows in the UK?

    So recently I've been watching some videos about rainbow vacuums, and they seem very interesting they seem to have a love/hate effect, I would love to get one or even just to try one, but I'm not certain on their availability in England. Could someone help me out? I'd love to know some more...

    Why don't more UK canisters have Power nozzles?

    Oh yeah, the 6131 pops up everywhere in my area, my old Art tutor had a 121 which I quite fancied for myself :P the dc01 used to be very popular here in Winchester, I guess they got thrown out when people realised how crap they were! My neighbour had an arctic blue one, and some bitch my mum was...

    Why don't more UK canisters have Power nozzles?

    Yeah, now that would have been a subject I'd have aced! But seriously the importance of good agitation should become more appreciated by the public

    Why don't more UK canisters have Power nozzles?

    Satisfying? Ha, it really bugs me when people use straight suction on carpets, it's pretty much useless! I guess the British public are badly educated when it comes to vacs :P Marcus, I also find Turbo brushes irritating as well! But I'd prefer that to a straight suction.

    Why don't more UK canisters have Power nozzles?

    Hi, I've been thinking recently about canister vacuums, as I see so many American collectors talk about their canisters, pretty much all of them have power nozzles. I mean vacs like Eureka, Aerus, Rainbow and so on, they all have PN, that got me thinking, most people I know here in England only...
