    Got rid of my iron and replaced it with....

    You're all vile slobs! hahaha I iron pretty much everything apart from underwear and jeans. T-shirts get ironed along with bedding. Cant beat ironed sheets. Or should that be that they all get pressed now? And my bed gets made to some degree every day. If I have time I'll tuck the edges of...

    Dyson V8 Animal

    Henrydreyfuss - Yes the hose does swivel at the machine end. But I'd much rather have a longer hose like that of the V6 rather than the swivelling feature. I gave a rather filthy car (not mine) a clean today and used the V8.... battery run time was great, More than enough... I'd never of been...

    What's Most Important To You: Filtration, Airflow, or Ergonomics?

    Ergonomics first for me. I have a Kirby Sentria II that I bought brand new but rarely use these days as it is much quicker and easier to vacuum the house with my cylinder Miele C3 Cat & Dog. Noise level is also an issue for me.... I much prefer the silent power of the Miele.

    Dyson V8 Animal

    With the cash outlay of £280 for the V8 with the extra tool kit I couldn't resist. Although even the woman in Currys remarked it was still rather expensive for a cleaner bought mainly for the car LOL Had I not had the gift card to lower the cash price I wouldn't of bought one

    Got rid of my iron and replaced it with....

    I seem to have gone through so many steam generator irons in the last few years its unreal. My first was a Bosch one and I loved it. This got me hooked on steam generators over 'normal' steam irons. The first Bosch developed a fault on the pump and was replaced under warranty. The second...

    Dyson V8 Animal

    LOL yeah Sebo4me I agree they are somewhat overpriced.... especially when they're not on offer! The fact I had 130 on a gift card swayed me when it came to buying one. Price aside though they are great machines

    Dyson V8 Animal

    All in all I'm very pleased with it. I'll try not to part with this one as when it comes to car cleaning I know I'll regret it. My 'main' house vacuum is a Miele C3 Cat & Dog and I have a Numatic Henry for less glamorous jobs and the cars... but its SOOOO much easier just being able to nip out...

    Dyson V8 Animal

    From what I've observed so far they have improved just about every aspect on the V8 from the V6. I've given it a wiz around the house and it has picked up loads. My only criticism is that they have shortened the flexible hose that comes in the extra tool kit. When you compare the picture of...

    Dyson V8 Animal

    The mini motorised turbo brush is now fitted with the 'new' style brush roll and is a VAST improvement giving much better grooming. Pics of V6 and V8 tools for comparison...

    Dyson V8 Animal

    The main cleaner head has been tweaked. The carbon fibre brushes for hard floors seem much fuller and longer and the stiff red brushes for carpets seem much harder and seem to groom a lot better. They have also fitted a triangular shaped rubber seal to the rear of the head instead of the...

    Dyson V8 Animal

    Back in 2015 I bought a Dyson V6 Total Clean. I loved it. I was amazed at how it performed as well as a corded machine and how convenient it was to use. As the months wore on and the novelty wore off I became increasingly frustrated by how difficult it could be to empty. Fluff and cat hair would...

    Kirby fan change question...

    Thanks. I was concerned that the fan being on hand tight would cause extra stress on the bearings or something

    Kirby fan change question...

    As some of you may remember I recently had to install a new power switch on my Sentria II. While I had the machine in bits I also changed the fan as the old one had some slight damage. All genuine parts... full fan kit with the new belt shaft and little washers and seals ect. My question is...

    One sorry looking Sebo....

    Did she take your advice and empty it though Chris? Strange as it is, I love that musty smell bagged vacuums make after they've been stood for a few days. I'm almost disappointed that the anti odour filter on my Miele works so well.... And Electroluxxxx.... The Sebo X range are also badged...

    One sorry looking Sebo....

    Yeah its the only vacuum I've spotted in this particular building. Judging by the chunk of plastic missing I think the cleaning lady may of possibly dropped it down the stairs at some point LOL

    One sorry looking Sebo....

    I've noticed this kicking about in one of our office buildings at work but only recently had chance to take a few pics without anybody seeing and people finding out about my secret vacuum fetish LOL I think if vacuums could talk this one would be crying "please...cut my plug off and put me out...

    What happened to the UK members?

    I'm still kicking about... just LOL I browse this site most days if I've got time to kill, I just rarely post. Not a member of the elitist private Facebook group as I no longer use Facebook... So if I find the desire to post anything vac related it will be on here :)
