I have ordered the DC27 Animal. It should arrive on Wednesday. I'll take some photos and show them on here along with my first opinions. Calum, I managed to video most of the Tomorrows World feature on the Sensotronic. Howard Stapleford or Stableford was demonstrating it with the brand name...

Jack, I think I will go for the DC27 even though it doesn't look much different to the DC14. It is mainly due to the fact I have owned a DC14 Animal and getting another DC14 will just be visiting familiar ground. I go through phases of favouring a particular brand, and Dyson is my flavour of...

Dyson DC15 The Dyson DC15 Ball is still on the website, but it has moved to the special offers section where it is on sale for £254.99. Still a bit pricey as some online retails have it for £220. I must get one before they're all gone.

Hello, Just a quick question. Does anyone know what condition you should leave the battery when you store away a re-chargable vacuum cleaner for a long period. Should it be stored fully charged or fully discharged and does it depend on the type of battery used in the appliance? I ask because...

Andrew, I am a UK member and have two S7 cleaners including our version of your Swing. I had not experienced the same issue as you regarding the hose until last weekend when I was vacuuming the car. Using the small turbo brush, I noticed my hose doing what you described near where it enters...

Hello, The delayed Dyson DC27 is now available to buy online in the UK. I have seen it at Litlewoods Extra and it should be available at all Shop Direct group catalogues including Kays, Additions, Empires Stores etc. I am going to get another Dyson next week and am toying between a DC07 All...

Chris, The Freemotion isn't great performance wise using straight suction, but add the turbo heads and they do a reasonable job. The bagged versions are so much more powerful than the bagless, plus they're lighter and quieter. The telezoom tube is a very good idea, but you have to put your...

This is the bagged mineral blue model I bought from directvacuums. Rather pricey though. You can find the bagged versions on the internet if you look hard enough, but so far they all seem to be selling for the full retail price. I managed to get the TOL gold coloured Freemotion from Empire...

This is where I got my brand new (not graded) bagless freemotion from. I made an offer of £62 which was accepted. You could try them with a lower offer, but bear in mind you only get three chances before you are blocked from making a fourth offer. Delivery is free and quick...

James, Read through this thread and you'll get your answer ;-) Jack, Yes, directvacuums on Ebay is where I got the bagged Freemotion. As I say, it is hit an miss with that company. I had to return a dustmanager upright to them because the cleaning head was smashed to bits. I bought a...

Calum, The Vax bashing Aquamaster ads were Hoover ads mocking the Vax. There were three ads at 10 seconds each and all showed a Vax with the brand name covered with black tape, though it was obvious that it was a Vax. Three three ads stated three things that the Aquamaster excelled at over the...

Calum, I remember the Vortex ad and indeed I did record it, but it's lost at the moment, but I still keep trawling through my old tapes that I am slowly converting to dvd and I hope I'll find it again. I do have the Freedom ad. Eleanor- Stop! Sarah- What is it, do you think I'm looking...

Jack, I'm hoping to put some Hoover ads on YouTube soon. I have most Hoover ads from 1984 onwards.

I've got the longer version of this ad. It starts with a sepia toned picture with a woman having her photograph taken with her new Hoover. It then zooms to present day to show the Purepower S Class. The original Purepower cleaners were a world apart from the Chinese manufactured offerings of...

I have an original The One like you Jack and mine has only been used twice. I found its performance far better than I was expecting. It removed some Sebo duo P powder from my carpets that several other cleaners had left. I had The One Pet but the brushroll motor stopped working after a couple...

Chris, Is it the Silver Passion Revolution you've ordered? I have the Garnet Red Powerplus and am considering the Silver Passion model. I've seen it online for £259.99, is that a good price? Roger

I had a reply from Miele regarding the Revolutions. "Thank you for your email. I can confirm that Miele have discontinued our Revolution series of vacuum cleaners. The reasons behind this is due to us streamlining our vacuum cleaner range as well as a fall in demand. Please note that an...

Jack, I have two S7's, the Cat & Dog and the TOL Autocare Hepa. They are very good solid cleaners but as you say, too heavy and expensive. They need to bring the price of the entry model below £200 to compete on price with the likes of Sebo. I hate the colour of the BOL model, but I have seen...

Hello, I was looking at the Miele UK website and discovered that both power nozzle Revolution cleaners are no longer featured. I have a collection of Miele cleaners and own the Revolution Power Plus and would like the other Revolution to complete the line up. I wonder if they have been...

I noticed the DC11 and DC15 on the Dyson website too. I have renewed my interest in Dyson cleaners and have recently purchased a DC24 and DC18. I would like to fill the gaps in my collection and would like a DC15 and DC11, but not at the prices on the Dyson website. The DC15 is still available...
