    Diesel heads, any one?

    My diesel dog I love diesels! An oil, a lubricant compared to petrol, a solvent. Which would you rather having pumping around your engine? Not to mention to immense pulling power. My first car was a 1.9PD TDI Audi A3 which had close to 190k miles which is now in a relatives hand and it still...

    My new toy!

    I really like them in white. They looks great in red too. Not too sure about the purple, but hey, at least they don't stick with the same old boring design and colour schemes. Yes, colour* :D One thing that I think would be pretty cool is if they did a powered flexible hose. It wouldn't be so...

    New House New Vacuum.

    They look like great vacuums. The quality of them looks to have shot up compared to the navigator lift away. That hose looks very good quality for example. I hear the agitation on these machines are very good, people saying they pull themselves forward. Wish we had them in the UK.

    My new toy!

    Yepp, exactly the same as in the UK. Indian call centres used to be a huge problem, until people started complaining and leaving service providers and companies due to them not understanding the Indian call centres, so subsequently a lot of them moved back to the UK. Dyson customer services...

    My new Seabo E3 premium

    That is exactly my point. I get this is a discussion thread, but they always seem to get hijacked by some American screaming that their Kirbys are simply superior in everyway, and shaft and batter anything else, not understanding that people either one do not have the money to buy a Kirby and...

    My new toy!

    Alright Mr Sh*ty. Honestly, can you not be happy that Dyson have done that? You don't need to tell you dyson customer service is very good. Accepting back a product which is 8 weeks old, acknowledging I am a loyal customer and giving me discounts on future products to buy IS good customer...

    My new toy!

    They are great. I am getting a V6 absolute which In the UK replaces the DC59, which I am currently on. Dyson actually accepting back my dc59 for a V6 absolute and I just pay the difference. That is proper customer service. You will find yourself using this everyday. They are brilliant, and...

    A Dyson that deep cleans!

    Oh, good, so it isn't just me who has plastic vacuums which have lasted decades. Difference is though, I am pretty sure that the SEBO and the Dyson didn't cost a couple of grand, but more like £300 tops in todays money, so if the SEBO and Dyson are around 20 years old, that's vacuuming for £15...

    My new Seabo E3 premium

    I wouldn't get too excited about your SEBO, as vacuum experts on this site claim your "plasticvac" is disposable like a tube of toothpaste and simply inferior in everyway to superior metal built royals and kirbys. I mean I use my Felix and every time I use it I just think oh gosh this is going...

    A Dyson that deep cleans!

    Okay, so my aunties 18 year old dyson which is still working, or our 23 year old SEBO X1, both so called "plastic vacs" yet they don't need "servicing", not unless you call changing a belt servicing. I service my car, not a vacuum which has a couple of moving parts. ANYWAY, yes. These new...

    Audi seem to have saved motoring, for real.

    My first car was an A3 8L 2002. 1.9 TDI and when I got it, it had 150,000 on the clock. Full service history though, it didn't use a drop of oil, no squeaks or rattles and it is still running today in the hands of another 17 year old relative. I am now on an A6 Avant 3.0 TDI twin turbo and it...

    Got a new Floormate!

    I love my floormate (Vax). It seems to be the most thorough and most hygienic way of cleaning hardflooring. Works very well. I just can't understand why no other manufacturer outside TTI have caught onto the idea.

    Five Reasons why Kirbys are guy vacuums

    Everyone is different, but I would say I speak for the majority when I say I want a vacuum which performs well but it easy to use, efficient and gets the job done with minimal fuss. It is quite sad that Kirbys are considered "mens" vacuums just because they are bulky, heavy, expensive and made...

    Audi seem to have saved motoring, for real.

    They are excellent cars. My first was an A3 1.9 TDI, now on an A6 Avant. They are beautifully made and great to drive.

    Audi seem to have saved motoring, for real.

    I know this is very loosely related to "household" but you do not have to be a car enthusiast to realise this is pretty epic. Those cleaver Germans at Audi have made diesel from carbon dioxide and water. None of this hybrid/plug-in hybrid rubbish which Volkswagen have said they are reluctant...

    Ibaisiac's Greatest Hits

    There is no one else on Youtube that reviews carpet cleaning products like Roger. You are calm, well presented, patient and very informative. You actually know what you are on about. They are just very good videos and they are getting a lot more recognition now. Even those who are not vacuum...

    My new Seabo E3 premium

    It really is a lovely vacuum and very good looking. Curved design really is a nice change rather than the typical boxy look most cylinders look like these days. It is tight that SEBO do not supply dusting brush, although nothing is perfect, not even a SEBO :3 Do you prefer it to your dyson ? I...

    Why don't more UK canisters have Power nozzles?

    I do agree, carpeting is just much nicer. It is easier on your joints as well, for anyone because it is softer and more absorbent. It makes a room quieter and warmer and also stays cleaner for longer. Washing a hard-floor and then 5 minutes later it has mark all over it is so depressing...

    Why don't more UK canisters have Power nozzles?

    There are a handful of PN canisters popping up in the UK at least, and Europe. Sebo are the only vacuum brand in Europe who have never dropped their PN canisters. They have at least had one cylinder model with a PN available. Right now they are 3. AEG now produce a TOL canister with a good...

    SEBO E1 Airbelt Eco 700: First Impressions

    Oh my goodness! The new SEBO UK website is beautiful ! I was only thinking the other day that the SEBO UK website needs to look more modern, more akin to the German site. Those crafty mind-reading Deutsch's :p
