    New daily drivers - Sebo, Bissell & Numatic

    Hey guys! It's been years since I posted on here but I thought I'd log on and share with you my current setup. So my house vacuums are all from the Sebo commercial range. I have the D8 with optional turbo brush, large dusting brush and twin care nozzle. The upright XP20 with optional...

    My Sebo cleaning trio

    Thought I'd come out from the shadows and make a little thread showing my latest daily drivers LOL FYI I think the last time I posted on here I had two Kirby Avalir's as my daily drivers. While I loved the quality of these machines I ultimately found them a bit too big and awkward for our UK...

    My Kirby Avalir adventures

    So at the start of the week I was bored and browsing facebook marketplace. I wasn't looking for anything specific when I see these two beauties for a bargain price. They wanted £45 each OR you could take both for £80. I offered £70 for the pair and they accepted. I couldn't get there to collect...

    Vacuum bag odour question

    This may seem like an odd question but bare with me.... So my daily driver for the majority of the last 6 months has been a commercial Sebo Evolution 350. Badged as the Mechanical 350 over in the USA. I bought this machine brand new. I really like the Sebo in terms of the quality and feel of...

    My two new Sebo machines - Evolution 350 & Airbelt E1 Komfort

    Hi guys.... haven't posted on here in ages. I've recently bought two new daily divers I wanted to share with you all..... Previously had a Dyson upright and a Dyson V10 but decided I wanted something with a more robust feel to it. So I sold the two Dyson machines on eBay and bought two Sebo...

    Dyson V10 run time and performance demonstration

    I decided to make a video review demonstrating the run time capability of the V10. In this video I bring the camera with me while I vacuum the whole house with no pauses or editing to the videos to fully show the full run time performance of the new V10. If you are the sort of person who...

    Introducing the new UK Dyson Ball Animal 2

    Here are a few pics of the new to the market Dyson Ball Animal 2. This machine is so new that the only retailer currently stocking it is Very. It isn't even on Dyson's own website yet. As I type this a full unboxing and demo video is loading to youtube.... as soon as the video is live I will...

    I bought a Dyson V10!

    The lure of Dyson's new machines is too much to resist at the moment. I bought the new V10 Total Clean today. I managed to get it for £450 instead of £500 as I have a friend who works in the shop I bought it from. First impressions from using the 20% battery charge the machine came with...

    Karcher Puzzi 10/1 review - my first ever video review

    I've had this extraction machine for a good few months now and have been meaning to make a video review of it for a while as I am so impressed with it. When I was looking to buy this machine I spent quite a lot of time researching it as it was expensive at £430. Compared to the £200 Numatic...

    Dyson Light Ball design fault

    Prior to me buying my two current daily drivers to replace a faulty Kirby, I tried one of the new Dyson Light Ball machines. After two months of use a major design flaw became apparent. One day I noticed the brush roll was labouring and didn't turn very freely by hand. Upon closer inspection...

    Replaced my Kirby with....

    3 and a half years ago I bought a brand new Kirby Sentria II from my local Kirby dealer. It was only ever used lightly and was well looked after. At around two years old the power cable failed and needed to be replaced under warranty - internal breakage causing intermittent power supply...

    Dyson V7

    I see Dyson have added another model to their cordless machines. The V7. The V7 has the same new dirt ejection system as the V8, but has the suction power of the V6. The V7 also seems to be lacking the HEPA exhaust filter that is included on the V8. Very much a middle of the road machine...

    Patience testing Kirby

    At the end of last year / start of this year my Kirby developed a power supply issue. I opened up the machine, had a quick visual check for loose wires and blew the motor area out with compressed air as inside had built up a layer of light fluff and dust. The issue seemed to go away for a...

    Dyson V8 Animal

    Back in 2015 I bought a Dyson V6 Total Clean. I loved it. I was amazed at how it performed as well as a corded machine and how convenient it was to use. As the months wore on and the novelty wore off I became increasingly frustrated by how difficult it could be to empty. Fluff and cat hair would...

    Kirby fan change question...

    As some of you may remember I recently had to install a new power switch on my Sentria II. While I had the machine in bits I also changed the fan as the old one had some slight damage. All genuine parts... full fan kit with the new belt shaft and little washers and seals ect. My question is...

    One sorry looking Sebo....

    I've noticed this kicking about in one of our office buildings at work but only recently had chance to take a few pics without anybody seeing and people finding out about my secret vacuum fetish LOL I think if vacuums could talk this one would be crying "please...cut my plug off and put me out...

    New daily drivers

    A few months ago my daily drivers were a Kirby Sentria II and a Dyson DC75 Cinetic Animal. I've had a slight change about since then though. So my main vacuum is the Miele C3 Cat & Dog. I got an absolute bargain on this. Miele have updated this model slightly. And I mean SLIGHTLY. Going...

    Faulty Kirby! Help needed

    I've owned my Sentria II since new and in about a months time it will be 3 years old. About two months ago I noticed that when I turned the machine on the headlight flickered. I'd press the power switch and the light would flash on for a second, off for a second and then come back on and stay...

    Kirby shampoo system review (pic heavy)

    I did a shorter review around 4 years ago when I first bought my Kirby brand new. However this time we have a much more realistic challenge and some surprising results. So this is my grandparents house. They are both in their 80's and I go over once a month or so to give the place a thorough...

    Henry 200

    While trying to distract myself from a vile hangover I figured I'd do a short review of the latest style of Numatic Henry. The 200 Original. There are now 3 sizes of Henry available. The 160 compact, 200 Original and 240 Professional. My main machine is a Kirby Sentria II and my secondary...
