For the millionth time.... Hoover in Australia is used under licence by Godfreys - they source from TTI, Candy, and their own products. Hoover is only used on floor care/air care and not on major appliances here. The Hoover and vax models have digital motors - the Vax was on display at our...

China EU Just my 2c: China is really no longer a poor manufacturer, the reality is that, countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, India and Turkey are now the default cheap countries in which to build products. China has moved from strength to strength and I recall reading an article a few...

Hi Alex Just some info on this one for you! Was sold exclusively through Godfreys (the now owners of the Hoover name for vacuums in australia) for $499 in the mid 90's. I remember my parents buying this vacuum as my mom was taking chunks out of the walls of our new home while pulling around...

Toploaders in Aus It varies on the store - there is more GP$ in a Top Loader (because they are made of Almuninum foil, white paint and a cheap motor) so some store push them - Our store looks at a bigger picture and we sell 20-1. All the staff in the appliance department have Front Loaders, and...

Do people really buy $3999 vacuums... Yep, Godfreys has already all but sold out of its first shipment of Vorwerk Kobold VK150s and there is a waiting list til mid jan. The fact is, that is what it costs -do you want it? yes then hand over the money.

Made where? I think these days, that there is still certainly a place for premium products that are made in Europe or America. In Australia, people always do ask where things are made, it doesn't always sway the decision - but things in the higher price end of their catagory can struggle if...

Australia is interesting too.... Because we follow the european appliance market more than the American - we have too made a shift towards straight suction and turbo heads - however what is interesting here is that there is a group of people who were exposed through the likes of Electrolux...

Hi All, So Godfreys (previous employer) has really ramped up the quality of what they are choosing to stock, the Sauber (Lux/Aerus) range is now being supplemented with the Vorwerk Upright, Robot and Window Vacuum. I called them today to see what the financial damage was, only as I bought a...

In Aus... We're anticipating $1699 which in perspective: Shark Rotator Powered Lift Away - $549 Dyson DC65 $999 Sauber (lux) Intelligence $1599 Vorwerk Kobold VK 150 $2499 Dyson V6 Absolute $899

Meanwhile, here in Australia http://www.vax.com.au/products/vacuum-cleaners/uprights/magnesium-upright-vx37

Shark is becoming a bit of a dyson... Take a product (Bissell Air Ram) that's lame and make it work!

Just a thought while vacuuming today, so many vacuums have powerheads that are awful to use on hard floor surfaces! I generally am the one who switches the heads over for the better result and ease of use - while using my Hoover Platinum Bagless canister this morning though, I just went and used...

Here it is in Glorious Gold With the ET1 Powerhead... this thing would be unstoppable http://www.sauber.com.au/excellence-se-400-vacuum-cleaner#.VPPmffmUffI

OOOHH oooooh I have the example I was looking to use... Holden (gm) and Isuzu sell a vehicle here called the Colorado/D-Max. These vehicles are manufactured in a shared facility BUT by two different companies - IE in Australia Holden is GM and Isuzu are a separate entity with no financial tie...

Eureka Prince... At the end of the day, they could do what they want - they'd have to buy the units from lux anyways, and they'd have to find a retailer or set up a whole new sales channel and Aus is pretty jam packed with vacs and to find a retailer other than godfreys to sell vacs over $1000...

Not a dyson fan... But when this comes to Oz, I'll use my staff discount to buy one of these :P
