    Door to Door sales and their relevance in 2018 and beyond...

    So based on my recent post about ultra premium machine prices, I feel like the discussion swung to this... So my interpretation on this one is quite is quite simple, basically the brands that still use this method do so because their machines are often more than a vacuum cleaner and therefore to...

    Ultra Premium vacuum pricing... wtf filter queen?

    $3398 USD, holy mackerel! What is it that justifies this extreme price - the MSRP for a kirby is something like $1400 USD isn't it? I have a filter queen and it's a nice vacuum - but my rainbow e2 black and av avalir would both be much closer in worth to that if I was to buy new. In Australia...

    Dirty, Avalir... Can it be redeemed?

    I bought an avalirs for the bargain price (in australia) of $150. The ad said needed new bag and small floor head. In the ad it said the accessories have never been used. Went the 50km trip to collect, people were nice enough and in an entirely tiled house...(why a Kirby?). They have used it...

    New Kirby website

    Hi All, Does anyone else think Kirby is taking an entirely different tact with their promotion of the Avalir 2? It seems to me as the website is much more a soft sell and feels much more engaging than before, and the videos on youtube look like they are designed for real TV commercials to be...

    Planned Obsolence?

    Hi Guys, I was thinking today while using my e2 black as to why more manufacturers haven't gone down the path of digital/brushless motors... Rainbow, Vorwerk and Dyson are really to my understanding the only ones that have jumped into this (although Dyson only uses them in the hand helds and...

    Vorwerk VK150 Worldwide pricing?

    Hi All, So Godfreys (previous employer) has really ramped up the quality of what they are choosing to stock, the Sauber (Lux/Aerus) range is now being supplemented with the Vorwerk Upright, Robot and Window Vacuum. I called them today to see what the financial damage was, only as I bought a...

    So... The best powerhead for hard floors?

    Just a thought while vacuuming today, so many vacuums have powerheads that are awful to use on hard floor surfaces! I generally am the one who switches the heads over for the better result and ease of use - while using my Hoover Platinum Bagless canister this morning though, I just went and used...

    I find it hard...

    to pick one machine family to be my everyday vac! I have slimmed my collection right down to a few 110v Hoovers, 2 Kirbys, Hoover Platinum Canister and Linx, Lux1 and Sauber (Lux) Intelligence, Miele Upright and my Shark Family (Rocket, Rotator and Nav Pro). I find myself mainly relying on the...

    Just a thought....

    So the Miele S7 series is no longer available here in Australia, due to the proliferation of canister units, Had they launched when Shark are now becoming HUGELY popular would have meant there was a premium alternative to people, but it was the reverse... Anyways - My thought was around design...
