Did you consider the XP Pet? It looks almost identical to the Magnum, but claims 225 airwatts over the Magnum's listed 160, as well as a 10m cord, and a redesigned handle grip: http://www.vax.co.uk/mach-xp

With regard to Brian's comment about the lack of storage for the crevice tool on the Ultra Silencer - the TwinClean had a similar problem: storage for the crevice tool and dusting brush, but nowhere for the upholstery nozzle! Very annoying!

The bristles aren't very aggressive, but they don't need to be! This cleaner rips the carpet off the floor...

UltraOne powerhead... closer to the Miele Electrobrush SEB 217-2.

Bristles like feathers - two rows are very soft, and two are very slightly stiffer. The brush bar is much more like the kind found on cleaners for the Asian market. It actually does a pretty good job on hard floors and lower-pile carpets.

Powerhead from my (former) TwinClean, for comparison...

Calum - the Vortex was always dreadful! I don't have one of the Vax Magnum models, but they look good on paper. Glad to hear it's met expectations. Vax have some new multi-cyclonic uprights coming shortly... will post more about those when I can!

Kevin - yes, was a little on the pricey side, but I couldn't resist... I totally recommend it if you do decide to get one, it's worth every penny! Shanon - Currently awaiting delivery of a Digital Slim ;) Al - The powerhead is certainly similar to the TwinClean's, but feels a lot sturdier, as...

Kevin, thanks for those great pics and the video! I got a couple of cleaners from my wishlist, but they don't owe much to Santa! I ordered this in the New Year sale...

From an article about British manufacturing, published a few 'The name and the face were both [company founder] Chris Duncan's ideas, put there (in his charming account) because the lonely cleaning armies of the early morning and late night liked to use an object they could address as a friend.'

Stunning! Thanks for the great pics, Corey - it's always nice when someone takes the time to post really decent photos of their appliances! I've had my S7 AutoCare (Tango) for well over a year now - a couple of minor dislikes, but for the most part it's a wonderful quiet, powerful cleaner...

'What is the difference between them, and will the DC14 With the exception of the Origin models, DC07 and DC14 both use the same brush-bars.

95dB is astonishingly loud... I emailed Oreck's customer help department shortly before Christmas (under the guise of an interested potential customer...) for some information about their cleaners. I was told 'The decibel ratings for the XL vacuums are 91-93 decibels.' AEG-Electrolux are...

Sebo Felix Found a picture of the Sebo Felix Premium Navy I used to own - from a set of pics I took for the eBay listing when I sold it. I wasn't keen on the hose set-up, but no complaints about use or performance in upright mode. I *personally* find this manual-with-guidance height adjustment...

A cautionary tale... Prompted by the discussion of the Hoover Freemotion above, I bought a brand new replacement for the one I used to own from Amazon just before Christmas. It was on offer for considerably less than it's RRP, and I wondered if maybe I'd just been unlucky with my previous one...
