    Electrolux C2116 restoration

    My C12 needs loads of bits. Would love a chrome hood! And maybe a clear bumper.. and new cord hooks, and a new cable protecter.. And maybe some stiffer brush strips that are for the Vg3. But it does the job! And really well! For me, the F&G bag is the shit. I have just tried it out and I'm...

    Electrolux C2116 restoration

    I have a C12 And like you say, it's a beast on carpet!! I can't part with it. I have just ordered a outter bag for use with the f&g bags from the states. It came today so I can't wait to try it out. The shake out is a right mess to emtpy. I love the sound of this thing on carpet. And the...

    New Henry's

    I was under the impression that he had his usual face, and then the 3D one clipped over the top of it?

    Brand new Dyson DC07

    The DC07 Back in its day, I'm sure I read in a which report that the DC07 gave one of the highest dust removals that they had tested. It was between 75-85%. But don't quote me on that! I used a clutch model when I cleaned houses. I used to do 14houses, a mill and two clinics a week and this...

    1994 Electrolux Contour ESP

    I used this model regularly as a kid It was my neighbours. They loved me, I used to go to their houses and vac everywhere. Everyone was a winner! I pretty sure it was the same machine. Although the one I used had a looped handle? I remember the ESP on the front of it though. And the it having...

    Vax Air Force U89-MAF-T

    I used the machine daily for 3 months And it never got any better! I emptied it daily and banged out the filter. Weekly I had to take all those little cyclones apart as the entry ports would block up. It's a shame - It could be such a good cleaner!

    Vax Air Force U89-MAF-T

    Woah!!! Air Force, not air! These are not the same cyclonic design!! The Air Force is terrible. It doesn't have the same shroud at the air so all the cyclones block up, loosing all suction - in every cleaning session! The way the hose and cord is stord is also really disappointing on these...

    Numatic Removable Face?

    It seems that there are plenty of vac obsessed folk in Yorkshire! I'm in Halifax. I've also always though that Henrys should store the tool on the back, like Vax does!?

    A rather unusual Goblin Laser

    Any chance of a photo of inside the bin/ filter? And maybe the brush cavity too?

    My new Volta vacuums 1988 and 1992

    The U258 Reminds me of a grey LUX my aunt used to own, and it had a remote on the handle? I loved it!

    Dyson DC50

    And DC47 It not often, if ever that i have seen Dyson launch a new machine and price it cheaper than their existing range. Im thinking bigger and better may be to come! Especially considering that both these machines are the lightweight range...

    Incontinent Gisowatt Hydra

    I HAVE THE SAME MACHINE! And I have the same problem! It's definitely not the best water/filter design out there. It needs regular water changes to avoid this. I'm not talking half hourly changes. More like five minutely ones. As the more debris that are in the water, the higher the bubbles...

    Numatic George opinions

    turbo500 'if carpet has been shampooed previously' There still will be dried shampoo in the carpet. If vanish or 1001 sprays have been used to spot clean the carpet it remains in there until its washed out.

    Numatic George opinions

    Not keen! I am a big fan of numatic, I thought i would try george after my rug doctor was stolen. His hand tool is great for the car, stairs, upholstery. But i found that the main fishtail nozzle for carpets was a big disappointment. Another problem i have found with this time of machine is...

    Will a Dyson DC02 motor fit a DC05?

    beko1987 I am massively interested in this DC07 cyclone you can separate!! When i was younger one of my aunts bought a DC07 when it was first released she 'treated' herself to a new Dyson every year, i never saw the machine but she had it replaced in the first week because if you knocked the...
