My brother now has a BMW convertible - the last car he had was an Audi A3, 2.0 TDi, and it was forever breaking down. He said it was the worst car he had ever owned, and he drives his cars hard. Over 100K miles, and it was needing money spending every other month on something or another failing...

That's because the Elite seemed to be made with a brittle metal fan, whereas the Turbopower 1 had a tough plastic fan, much like the Kirby, which would withstand a lot more abuse. Having seen the state of your Elite's fan when it arrived with you, I did have a laugh at what was left of it.

Hoover Elites Funny you should talk about the Elite - one of our collectors, Alex has just imported one of these himself, he really loves them, and again, he had to repair it as the fan was shattered. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyLDg6jQtgY

Since Dyson has dominated the UK market, there just doesn't seem to be much appetite to compete with him. Only TTI can be bothered, and they only compete on price, not quality. The UK is in desperate need of quality machines that last more than a few months. Many people fail to register the...

A box of Miele bags is about the same price as a box of SEBO bags depending on where you buy them, but you only get 4 bags from Miele as opposed to 8 from SEBO. Miele bags do come with the 2 basic filters you  need - a pr-motor filter and an Air-Clean exhaust (NON-HEPA) filter, but with the SEBO...

Super-sweeper - I think TTI have a lot to answer for with the cheap throwaway plastivac market, and whether Dyson came about or not, TTI may have ended up being the world leader in modern vacs - how about that for a scary thought? TTI do not do quality. End of. They do quantity for pile em high...

Not at the moment Citroen - I may consider one in the future though. I need to lay off buying new vacs for a bit as I'm waiting to see what new vacs come out when the new EU regulations start in September.

They are very nice - great to see someone re-manufacturing an old favourite, although I'd imagine they wont sell in quite the same numbers they did in the 60's and 70's lol

Great price that - I might have bought one - but I already have a few Juniors. [this post was last edited: 6/9/2014-01:47]

Well, as long as I can buy Miele and SEBO bagged vacuums, that's all that matters. These two companies want nothing to do with bagless, and never have. They still have plenty of customers. If bagless lovers want to pay good money for Dysons that's up to them. I'm very happy with my Miele's and...

When I bought my Henry from Argos last year (the yellow HVR200A) it had a red bag with the face on it, 3 spare bags, but no extra hose, so it hasn't always been supplied from Argos. Numatic seem to put one in when they feel like it. May be why Argos don't advertise the extra hose now, as its hit...

This is why VL is always dead on the UK side, as everyone new seems to have been recruited into this "FB" group, which sebo_fan seems to keen to get everyone to join. Its not very fair on those who aren't allowed in though is it? At least VL welcomes everyone, unlike this "FB" group, where...

Argos are hopeless at advertising anything they sell, and frequently get product information wrong. Their website often leaves a lot to be desired. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

Yes, Roger, the Airobrush makes a massive difference on carpet - so much easier to push around and better for removing Daisy's dog hairs! At the cost of noise though - its still a cheaper head to buy than the Miele or SEBO turbo brushes, but not as good quality. This was where I ordered mine...

They already are doing the new models - John and Lewis are both the new models, using the HiFlo 580W single speed motors, and WesselWerk style floorheads with integrated roller wheel. Most of the earlier model HVR200A models had a flawed design of Autosave circuit board. This board can fail...

Mine didn't either. Be careful with the HVR200A, they had issues with the Autosave boards burning out, and rendering the cleaner unusable. The cooling for the board was insufficient being located in the exhaust air flow duct. They modified them on current models though, removing the Autosave...

Central Vacuums are excluded from the regs.   Here is the list of vacuums that are INCLUDED in the regs:   Electric mains-operated vacuum cleaners for household and commercial use <span style="font-size: medium;">Hybrid vacuum cleaners </span> <span style="font-size: medium;">General...

Blimey Mike - you don't mince your words there do you?

Very good Josh - nice bit of info there, and with a pickup rating of D, the 850W models aint very good are they. I guess If you just lower the wattage without redesigning the cleaner, it wont be much good at cleaning. Prices are way too high. WAY to high.

Pleased about this - makes more sense with capitals
