Chris Sorry about that, but I was originally opposed the point that in the 1980's the US had vacuum cleaners that went to 1400 watts average. I brought up the dirty fan point as most of the vacuums back then were dirty fan, with clean fan machines coming at the back end of the 1980's.

Chris Sorry, I'm just using past comparisons to make as much sense out of past comparison as I can. "As Hoover said themselves with the Turbopower 2 '19% more improved suction power'."

Chris The reason why I was talking about dirty fan cleaners was due to the fact that many cleaners in the 1980's in the US were 1400 watts apparently, and the machines I mentioned - U1104, U2332, both were popular dirty fan cleaners - were much less than 1400 watts and were sufficient still...

Yes This is opinion, but it also has an element of fact to it. You originally stated that in the US 1400 watt vacuums were common in the 1980's, and I only made comparisons to what we had in the UK in the 1980's. I WAS just stating my opinion and which one I believe is better. Give me a week...

you Mr Desert Tort I use these two things I have called eyes, which help me see things. I think I can see which is doing a better job on MY carpet. Also, there is truth to my point, why don't you try the two vacuums in question first then try to contradict someone who has used them both and...

True That is true, Kirby' are possibly the best lower wattage modern vacuums. Some dismiss Kirby's as many say they look old, but actually, I think they look Jolly robust and do a great job as well!

80s DesertTortoise, In the UK in the 1980's a popular budget machine was the Hoover Junior U1104, which had 300 watts, and still outperforms modern machines in pickup performance and reliability. Even the most up-to-date machines in the 1980's barely exceeded 600 watts, and that was sufficient...

Your getting all over the place nowadays! Living in Leeds I heard it in the morning, I heard Liz talking about her Dyson, and I assumed there would be a mention of the EC law, then she said 'this is Chris Parker'! Well, I was suprised, however your no stranger tho the world of radio now! Well...

To He said to look for Sales jobs on the Dyson websitewhen your 17 and somewhere like Currys will have you instore and you have to go to Dyson Hq for a bit to learn all the Dyson stuff and the Dyson story. I have Aspergers and a part of that is me knowing lots about the Dyson story and...

Dyson Man He said they were clearing out old stock so they could sell them before it's too late.

Oh, and one does not go vacuum browsing alone, enter Joe, who I think suits the pink Dyson!   Come on Joe, add your photo's too!

And finally... ... a face to a name!   Please excuse the lack of appearance in this photo, was not expecting excessive camera work during a light browse round Curry's!   And, I know the pink clashes, but I don't think I would choose the pink anyway!

Pics Here are some more.

dd Looking across the whole range, the pink one is DC40

Here we go Left to right - Cylinders Cordless   DC54 On The Floor there, that Dyson rug was covered in oats before we arrived, needless to say they soon dissapeared.

I know Josh has recently done one of these about his Curry's, so I thought i'd make one about my local store.   Most of the vacuums are in small aisles, apart from Dyson and Vax who each have large sections of the back wall to show off the cleaners.   There was a Dyson salesman there...

I know why I was speaking to a Dyson salesman in my local Currys today, very nice man and he let me & Joe try out quite a few of the display models, I had explained that we were vacuum enthusiast's, and he was very understanding and probably quite pleased there was someone to talk to there who...
