I now know that Hoover shifted production to China in 2003 ish, the Purepower had already moved in 2002 but I was wandering was the later Turbopower 2 ever made there? I would have thought that by the time all production moved that they had discontinued it.

I use to love to be able to look in an Argos Catalogue & you were able to buy a BRANDED Bagged Cylinder for about the £30 mark. Sigh, how times have changed. I would be happier if I was able to do that still :o

There would hardly be any vacuums in the Argos Catalogue :)

For Steve saying the hose on the base model of Air3 is short, it's 1.5 metres. Wasn't the hose on the original Vax Air 1.1 metres?

Great Video, as always Roger. I believe my Auntie's 2008 Henry came with the extra hose as well - but I haven't seen one since. I think Numatic should supply it anyway because it means you can leave the vacuum at the bottom of the stairs & get to the top - something a lot of people like to have...

The Vortex must be quite rare because I've only seen one of them on the car boot so far but it was in a worse state than yours & they wanted a bomb for it too.

I think we've made a trend super-sweeper.

It's the same profile, I think it automatically does that.

What do you mean?

beko1987 you might want to put 'overweight DC05 in drag'

Nice find, there was one of these on my carboot as well, but it was dirty & had a few bits missing. It's from the 27th week of 1999, BTW.

Thanks dysonboy. That's quite close to where I live.

Thanks for that baglessball. I'll try one & buy it from somewhere I can return it if I don't like it.

Just to add a couple of niggles I have found with the zen. Firstly, the bin does not open by itself. When you press the button to release the bottom, it gets stuck & requires you to pull the bottom off with your fingers & a couple of times my fingers have been covered in dirt. Secondly, the...

What are your opinions on the Vax Air3?

Well IMO Vax's customer service makes up for that. They come with the 6 year guarantee.

I think there are well over 1000 reviews for the Air Reach on amazon & Argos.

Dyson sued Vax over copyright to the DC02, not the DC05.

The Air Cylinder might be lighter but you can't remove the cyclonic system like you can on the Zen. I believe the same floor tool comes on Air Cylinders too.

If Hoover did put a bag on the freedom where the dust container goes, they would be doing what Eureka does in the USA with the Airspeed Vacs. They colour the dust bin in, so you can't see it, & have a bag that fills at the side. I could see thm doing that. Does anyone think Vax will bring out...
