    James Dyson: "The EU should spur invention, not mediocrity"

    I HOPE that bagged machines make a comeback, bagless has ruled the market for way too long now, & it's disgusting how Dyson has a go at Bagged Vacuum Companies, saying that their ruining the world because of the fact that bags don't disintegrate! Of course they do! This is why I don't let...

    James Dyson: "The EU should spur invention, not mediocrity"

    Good on you, sebo_fan. I think it's disgusting how he drones on about no manufacturing in the UK hardly, then there he is producing his machines in the Far East! But people will listen to him because he is the creater of the wonderous Dyson that beats every other machines behind on the market...

    James Dyson: "The EU should spur invention, not mediocrity"

    Thanks for this. A very interesting read. In what way do vacuum cleaner bags loose suction? I have never used a bagged cleaner that has lost suction to a noticeable level. Sebo_fan can probably vouch for this, but vacuum bags have come a long way since being 1 layer that clog quickly. Many...

    Talk to me about Henry vacs in the U.S.A.

    That Wessel Werk floor tool is the best floor tool I have ever used on a vacuum cleaner. It also comes supplies with Vax's TOL Cylinders too.

    Here is a really good idea...?

    Air Fresheners or Baking Soda work nicely when you have a smelly vacuum.

    Interesting looking new Vax

    The Vax Air 3 I have has stiff bristles that made sugar bounce on my carpet. Also, that Vax on Argos, notice the hose comes out the side like U.S. versions

    I wish we had water filtration vacs in the uk, we probably do though.

    Will the current vacuum industry ever change to something like it used to be?

    I didn't mean 1990's machines, I meant the ones sold in the early 2000's from £25-£50. I have found a stockist for the Daewoo bags & Wilko also sell their own version too. Hoovers Whirlwind Bagged Cylinder uses Electrolux Powerlite Cylinder Dust Bags also. I was comparing the Daewoo Cylinder...

    Will the current vacuum industry ever change to something like it used to be?

    Miele, Sebo, Kirby, Riccar & Numatic stick to what their good at & keep producing it. If you think about it really the whole shape of all these companies has not changed since they began. Numatic based Henry on their commercial cleaners & Henry's have hardly changed in the last 30 odd years...

    New Eco Vacuums Energy Charts...

    Since the Dyson? I can't wait now until the new law comes into force. I see there are new models of Vax cleaners on Argos.

    Will the current vacuum industry ever change to something like it used to be?

    Thing is though, in 2004 you were able to buy Dysons at that price because there was a lot more money around then. But saying that, even in 2004 you were still able to buy cheapie bagged vacs which were always my preference.

    Will the current vacuum industry ever change to something like it used to be?

    Oh how I used to love getting the new Argos Catalogue & flicking through page after page of Bush, Hinari, Goblin, Dirt Devil & Morphy Richards Bagged Cylinders, & about £25 roughly. Sadly, those days are long gone, BUT I hope that we see some more bagged models of cleaner on the market when...

    The same model you find in the TV magazines has a suction only floor head but you can purchase an optional full size turbo nozzle seperatly for about £5.

    Argos now bringing in the new EU regs machines.

    As to carry on from what suctior (sorry I don't know your name) I have noticed increased conflict over the past few months. I'm not siding with anyone here but VL used to be a nice place with lovely forum members. But this is a forum, of course, where different opinions clash, but they seem to...

    Argos now bringing in the new EU regs machines.

    I see there are loads of machines with 1600+ wattages are being sold off for 'half price' & they have been for ages.
