Its a pity you couldn't direct us to that vac shop nowadays to buy a Turbopower 2 brushroll, or an early Purepower one, but I bet its long gone now. The parts that are left are what no one wants, and the parts that people want are all gone. I wish they had made more TP2 brushrolls, as there are...

I'm not bothered sebo_fan. I don't care how many franchises it has, if the prices are cheaper I will buy from Freenet. They sell what I want, and at a price I want to pay, which Argos don't, and nor do John Lewis.

But why would you as the retailer direct the customer to the competitor who sold the premium product for a cheaper price? For instance, If I went to Argos to buy a cleaner, would they really be directing me to Freenet to buy a Miele vacuum? I suppose it works because the customer is being...

Nice explanation Benny - it was something I found hard to understand, how the likes of Freenet Electrical could be selling a Miele cleaner up to £40 odd cheaper than Argos in some instances, and selling SEBO cleaners up to £50 cheaper than John Lewis. Freenet would not be selling these machines...

I agree with sebo_fan on this one. Russell Hobbs is just a brand name now owned by a holding company and they just churn out cheap quality Chinese made products.

As far as I'm concerned the prices Argos charge for their Miele cleaners are way higher than the likes of Freenet Electrical, and Argos stores don't actually physically stock most Mieles either, you have to order them online and wait for delivery. So if I have to order online and wait for...

They may well do - the smaller less profitable ones anyway. Most people would prefer the bigger ones with parking rather than the smaller ones with no parking and traffic wardens parading round in front of them.     Its only obvious that if Argos are going online only, they will be doing...

If Argos are going down the online shopping route, then they need to get a lot more competitive with their prices. Their prices for Miele vacs are ridiculously high compared to the other online retailers - who are now fighting back against the likes of Argos and Currys, who have dominated the...

I used to buy a lot from Argos, but they have just gone down the route of selling bagless bagless bagless, and I've had enough of bagless vacs. The bagged vacs that Argos sells can be obtained elsewhere online at cheaper prices, so I'm afraid Argos just aint what it used to be.

I've given up on Argos and Currys now - they just don't sell what I want. I've given up buying cheapo bagless Chinese plastivacs, so that doesn't really leave much else left at Argos. Miele, SEBO and Bosch vacs are cheaper elsewhere, so I order them elsewhere. If it aint made in the UK or made...

Tell him all about it - the premotor filter should not be doing that, and you require him to find out why its doing it. The fact it clogs very quickly suggests that the rubber gasket at the bottom of the bin (the inner one) may be leaking allowing dust to escape up the cyclone tubes in reverse

I will be watching out for these then - a new SEBO model is a rare event, and I look forward to seeing one of these machines for sale in the UK, and the exact specs for it, including where the main on/off switch is, and what exactly the orange switch on the side of the floorhead does, as we are...

It isn't that much of a problem for me anyway, as I can always get the K3 out if I want to do my hard floors as well as the carpets, as I have a lot more carpet than hard flooring. If the updated X series still retains the auto height adjuster computer AND does have the orange switch on the side...

As much as I like the S7, I just don't use it, it feels fragile and the parts are so expensive if it goes wrong. The X4, although a lot older in design is a much better cleaner to use In everyday cleaning, easier to push, robust, and has reasonably priced bags and brushrolls etc. The S7 has more...

You will probably find that the filters are classed as wear items and are not covered by warranty. Although if you tell the engineer you are disappointed with Dyson and will be getting a SEBO in a few months when the warranty expires, they might throw in a HEPA filter for free in an attempt to...

The headlight lens is longer and thinner on the US version, so they are different hoods, although they look similar.

They have just started selling these, despite in 4 months time they will be illegal to sell at their current power ratings. Only 1 model is 1600W, the rest are over this, in contravention of the new EU rules. What is the bag situation now? Have Hotpoint now got these in stock? I just cant...

The U4003 being the second from left in this picture. I assume the difference was in the bag design, the cable wraps being on the other side of the handle and the on/off switch position? Thanks for pointing that out Seamus - learn something new every day.

SEBO could have in mind that the G1 and the BS36/46 series will be retired and replaced with the Evolution. It may even replace the 370 and 470 models too, as these are very similar to the BS36/46. At present, the UK lineup comsists of the BS36/46 and the Dart uprights for commercial use, and...

Its a nice looking machine - and retains the classic SEBO look. I too think that orange lever on the base is a mechanical belt engager, like the ones found on older Panasonic uprights. I cant imagine that they would put the main motor on/off switch on the side of the floorhead where it would be...
