    Ryan Funnily enough I have always seen the Starlight as hoovers Tol cleaner of the period and the ranger as a bit of a fill in to patch the range up although I have no idea why they just didnt get rid of it for something more modern. Perhaps it was better the devil you know. The Starlight...

    Bag in the back The Kenwood Pilerider is somewhat of amystery machine as far as collectors go. Nobody has one to my knowledge or spare parts apart from a brand new outer bag which Myself and Paul own. Like many cleaners you either stockpile parts in hope that the cleaner comes along - 7...

    Michael, If Alex was mature he wouldnt of stated unfounded comparisons nor started his string of gabble. If ALex was mature he wouldnt need a friend to apologise for his outburst. ALEX? Where was I being rude in challenging what made you come up with your findings? Your wording such as 'a...

    Alex lets stop this chat right here before I make you look more of a muppet than you really are. £20 is not a big deal to me - its 3 hours work THESE DAYS but 15 years ago it was 5 hours work! 5 hours of work for me THESE DAYS PAY FOR ALL I MENTIONED ABOVE SO IT IS A BIG DEAL. 5 HOURS WORK...

    Restored is one thing, Were the motors new? Carbon brushes new? With respect to Chris's vac his was 2nd hand and a good few years old. Used to clean up whatever wedont know about. Fans could of been unbalanced as you mentioned it was a SCREAMER. Did Chris put a brand new belt and...

    Im still reeling from someone who has probably never done a full days graft stating that 5 hours work is nothing. Just shocking! 5 hours work pays 1/3 of my monthly council tax bill. or a months water bill. or a weeks food shop. or 2 weeks car insurance, or a months gas bill in summer...

    I own every one because I like the for what they are! I dont worship the ground they stand on. They are not the bee alland end all like somethink they are. I said why I felt the Hitachi was better in my first post. Lastly your opinions are opinions but in your were stating it as a FACT. Big...

    The brushes are far from sparse, the brushroll has beater bars too. Just like hoover. Was the Hitachi you used brand new? The one I have is virtually brand new and it far from screams. My mothers didnt 'scream' until plaster dust got the better of it. Nobody mentioned carrying handles. I didnt...

    Wages Go and do 5 hours graft when the sun is shining and you want to be down the pub with your mates who are having a good time without you perhaps then you will realise its value. Quite frankly your attitude stinks and all because you cant handle a balanced criticism ofyour favourite cleaner.

    Remeber Which? was testing BRAND NEW from the box cleaners to test. Saying you have used one is irrelevant unless you tested a new TP2 and a new Hitachi. Was the belt on the Hitachi in good condition, was the brushroll? Were the filters clean? What state was the bag in? Too many variables -...

    Brilliant Ryan! Provided mewith a good half hour of interesting reading to say the least. Im not surprised that Hitachi beat the TP2's 3's 1000's as they are a much nicer cleaner to use. They have the 'stick to the floor' performance that the Turbopower 1's had whereas I never felt the TP2...

    Personally believe That this forum is pretty much perfect the way it is. If anyone feels the need to video chat/real time chat then theres Skype. Why waste Robert and Freds time when there are other programmes/sites offering the same. I also dont believe the 'pageing' of the threads is...

    What's a better option for clothes dyeing: Machine or by Hand?

    Kelly The salt added to the dye solution at the start achieves the colourfasting thus no extra salt is needed even in a rinse. Because our washers have heaters, low water usage and longer wash times dyeing is probably more efficient than the effects american washers can achieve. The bleach...
