Hoover in the UK kept Model 375 and 262 in production until 1940. When aluminium was no longer available, they made them out of zinc, which made the cleaners much heavier. More and more men were pulled off the vac production lines to help with war production contracts. The earliest contracts...

'Not sure why you guys did not get the full power nozzle we can get with the model here on this side of the pond.' It's just not necessary for cleaning our lower-pile carpets - the smaller powerhead, like the smaller Miele head, is perfectly sufficient. Another important difference is that the...

Powertank - many thanks, I'd appreciate pictures! I'd email you directly, but I'm not sure what your address is, and on your profile it says 'powertank does not wish to display their email address'.

It fills up fairly rapidly, so it wouldn't take long for fine dust to start backing up in the system. I assume Dyson's patents necessitated this design, because I can't see any engineer creating this compromise unless they had to. I remember Vax multi-cyclonic uprights a couple of years ago in...

A strange feature of this cleaner - although the exterior cyclone empties through a trap-door base, the fine dust collector does not - it's a sealed cup, which you have to untwist and tip out by hand. Although this is mentioned in the manual, and there's a sticker with text on affixed to the...

Speaking of Vax and multi-cyclonic technology, this is another of my recent acquisitions - a TurboForce Zero, based on the US Hoover Whisper. For a cleaner with an RRP of £150, it includes a lot of high-end features: multi-cyclonic technology, a separate brushroll motor with on/off switch...
