Hello all, I'm back after quite a long break from both the forum and the vacuum collecting hobby (Doing 2 A-Levels really does take quite a lot of time). None the less, I am back, and with a familar cleaner too; A Numatic Henry HVR200 from 1998 which I got from the local carboot sale. Henry...

Hello people! Hope your all doing well. Todays latest machine to my 'fleet' is this Hoover Dustette, I believ the bag is of the Swedish green colour, though I am not sure. (I'm sure someone will correct me) I would take a pic of the serial plate, but it's all badly scratched up and only a...

Hello Vacuumlanders! :) Hope you all had a great Christmas! I certainly did! :D This was the Aunties 'gift', well not really a gift because she didn't want it anymore, because it was replaced by a DC41 Animal So what is the 'gift' you may ask? Well, it's a DC25 Animal! :) A bit clapped out i...

Hello all! :D   This thread I'm creating is for anyone studying Product Design, either at GCSE or whatever qualification, no matter where you are.   The centre of Product Design is, well....THE PRODUCT! :)   And so, here's my product, called the 'Dawn Sunset' (DL01). I combined...

So, about 2 weeks ago the cord re-wind on the Hoover Aria had just had it, but the machine ran fine! But I wanted to get all the cable around, so I didn't have to drag the whole machine over to the nearest socket. The problem with the re-wind was a coil which was jamming the cable re-wind from...

Hi guys! So me and George (dysondestijl) met up today and had a great time! :D He got my DC14 Origin and I got this Hoover Aria from him in the trade as well as few other bits n' bobs :) The Aria is now the first ever cylinder vacuum cleaner I've got, I'm more of an upright man, this also...

Hi everyone! So, I got this Hoover Turbopower Junior, model No U1426 from the local carboot sale for £10. I got it from the same women who sold me my 1998 DC04 Absolute + It needs a clean,a new bag,a new belt, and maybe a new brushroll as the brushes feel softer than they should. Anyway...

Hello People! This is my Dyson DC04 Absolute + which I got from the local carboot for £9.50. (Originally the seller wanted £15 for it!) This is one of the earliest DC04s produces, this one was made on the 2/12/1998. Later on 1999 was when the DC04s we're released to the public of GB. But you...

Hi all, My vacuum collection is growing, so, i was wondering what machines to get next. Machines that do take my fancy are the earlier PurePowers and the Turbopower 2s (U2090 etc) Which do you think is best? I'm having trouble deciding what to get next. Cheers! :D

Hi all, For £25 i picked up this Dyson DC14 Origin. It is a bit dirty and needs a good clean up, let's just say it's seen some (well a lot) action. The brushroll housing was clogged with pet hair and god knows what else! Luckily that has since been removed. People who know me know that i also...

Hi all! So I've had a pretty good morning down at my local carboot. I didn't find a DC03 :( but oh well, at least I tried! I found this DC07 Origin Cyclone and bin unit for £10 and in very good condition!

Hi all! This thread might be a long one. So strap yourselves in! First off, The DC01. I have heard many DC01s in the past with the standard original 1993 motors (both DC01 Standards and De Stijls') and it's music to my ears! :D But have heard some DC01s with motors similar to the one that a...

Hello people! I need some help. Mainly to do with vacuum finding. You see I am desperately after a Hoover Junior from the 1970s and some other older vacuum cleaners, including a Dyson DC01. I thought of going to a car-boot but not sure. Plus don't want to pay too much money for a vacuum from a...

As my GCSE results were fantastic (better than expected with 8 GCSEs Cs and above!) I treated myself to a new cleaner. It's a Hoover Jive handheld cleaner running 4.8V at 50W. It's in a purple-ish blue colour, but in person the bin looks more purple. It's great! I think the run time is 10...
