    The Electrolux 502 cleaner - cleans better, faster

    The little knob on top of the bag door is the bag full indicator whistle. Turning it sets it to how “sensitive” you want it to be. If there is no suction at all, I would suggest checking the suction ducts up the back of the machine for blockages, changing the filters (there is one that is...

    What happened to the UK members?

    @blakaeg there is much better Facebook group, with 222 members. It’s a hoot. Some above have slagged it off (because they’re not in it) but it’s great.

    My reasons why Johnnyl8 (VacuumFacts) Sucks

    You’ll be pleased to know that literally none of the UK collectors have any time or respect for him and he’s not on either of the 2 big UK groups on Facebook.

    I really like the new Dyson's

    But I’m not bashing anyone who likes Dyson? Infact I’ve already said, I quite like the latest mains powered model. So that doesn’t really work, does it? You’ve basically admitted that you didn’t like Dyson, but now you do, and have jumped down the throats of anybody who disagrees with you...

    I really like the new Dyson's

    @huskyvacs I can sum up this thread in one sentence….”I used to dislike Dyson’s but now I don’t and I’m going to argue with anyone who says I’m wrong, even though I think I was wrong before when I disliked them” Sound familiar? 🙄 For me, Dyson have never quite got it right. I like the...

    I really like the new Dyson's

    I recently got to try a friends Small Ball 2 Allergy and was impressed by the performance, ease of use and how quiet the machine was. It did feel flimsy compared with my Miele and Sebo at home and also against the Shark uprights but it did clean well and for £199, I thought it was good value...

    I did the Oreck challenge

    I got the demo filter from an ex-Sebo employee who had a few going spare. Apparently they don’t make them anymore

    I did the Oreck challenge

    Now, disclaimer, I did not use boost mood on the X7. This was the standard automatic height adjustment. The Sebo has much stronger suction so I knew there would be some dust and maybe a bit of grit, but I wasn’t expecting this much.

    I did the Oreck challenge

    Hey all, So I recently undertook the Oreck challenge. Ok, well, not exactly. Over the Christmas holiday, I was contacted by an old school friend who’s great aunt had sadly passed away. His great uncle had died a few years ago and was something of a hoarder. The house was a very odd set up...
