    Nilfisk Extreme (X300)

    Hi all, I've just taken delivery of a Nilfisk Extreme here, and wondered if anyone has any experience of them? They are highly rated by many consumer magazines here- I was surprised by the size and weight of the cleaner when it arrived though. Was expecting a unit quite similar to a Miele S5...

    Hoover Junior 1338

    Hello all, Just wanted to share a recent ebay purchase, and ask for a few tips from anyone out there familiar with servicing these cleaners. Am I correct in thinking this is the second 60's style Junior cleaner after the rose/white model? The overall condition isn't bad, with matching grey...

    Miele Repair- S381

    Hi all Following on from the recent Miele discussions, my red cylinder/canister model arrived yesterday (spares/repairs for £18 on ebay UK). The initial fault was that it would not run. I tracked this down to a bad solder connection on the thermal cut-out component on the motor PCB. Having...

    Evening all, I've come across this interesting Italian vacuum in a few industrial design posts over the years, and thought I'd share the link on here for everyone's viewing and to see if anybody has some further information on them. Appear to be a very basic shop-vac style construction, with...

    Sebo K1 Komfort help!

    Hello all! Just yesterday I acquired a Sebo K1 Komfort canister out of a skip/dumpster. It's certainly had a hard life and plenty of use, but the motor runs very quietly and smoothly..after a clean up I decided it would be ideal for taking along to my next student house. Have just run into one...

    Late 80's Numatic

    Hi all, quite new around here, so thought it was time for me to contribute something! This Numatic vacuum has been owned by my nan as far back as I remember..it started life as a contract machine used in a hospital where she worked at the time, and has now been in regular use for at least 20...

    Monster Vac!

    Hi everyone, I never normally post anything, but this youtube clip caught my eye, from the VDTA convention. Just wondering if anyone has ever seen one of these vacuums before, or knows who makes them? Seems quite strange to me, I'd guess it's a commercial unit due to the orange cord, but...

    Rebuilt Hoover Junior?

    Hi everyone, Just found a vac listed under the vintage category on ebay (see link) Just wondering, has anyone ever seen one of these before? I'm curious about it, I think there were companies in the UK that rebuilt popular cleaners like the Hoover Juniors and then sold them on (it's all a bit...
