Ok, I know I’ve been highly controversial in my approach to threads in the past so I deeply apologise for that, but here I’ve got a considerably stupid question to ask with a rather foolish backstory. I bought a spare straight-suction floorhead to use on my 2100W Sebo Airbelt K1 because it was...

Hello, So, Gtech are really struggling with getting their Small Power Brush head for the Pro 2 in stock for the millions of people who are desperate for it. In fact I ordered one and it ended up never being in stock in the first place! It should hopefully start coming now though. But whilst...

Microfibre bags are brilliant. Of course, as someone mentioned, paper is better for the planet, but personally I don't really trust paper bags because of how weak they can be and how dust can easily block the suction. It's sad though because I actually personally care about the dying planet and...

Same here I have a Purepower PU71 and ordered h74 Purepower bags from ransom Spares, and several weeks later they have never come. Perhaps I should go onto Amazon and order 4 your home bags. Or if THEY don't come maybe superocd was right. People are using bags for wrong reasons!

Does this count? I have a Gtech Pro 2, and I think it's design is a bit like a vintage Pinnock Premier vacuum from Australia. The bag seems to hang from a slot which lets you see the dirt in the bag, and the airflow works diagonally towards the motor, like how the Pinnock worked, which at the...

Selection of my childhood vacuums I have a series of photos of the vacuums I remember my father owning in order of collection. Firstly a Panasonic (possibly) MCe468 which was white and had a grey cable, then after I developed a slight obsession with a grey and silver Hoover Dust Manager someone...

We need this in the UK. I love cordless vacuums that use direct air [dirty-fan] motors and this is no exception. I've seen the Truvox Valet [Riccar Supralite Cordless] demonstrated on YouTube and that I just love at first glance, exact same with this vacuum being demonstrated on YouTube from...

Hello, I own a Hoover PurePower PU71PU01001 and I've been using the microfibre H74 bags with it. I like these bags because it's my preferred material. However, the machine is almost half-full at the moment and it sounds very clogged. In my house we've been doing a lot of work to put in a new...

For Madman I'm pretty sure the brushroll on this is belt-driven which means you wouldn't be able to turn it off. I've heard these in operation on YouTube and by the sound I can tell it's belt-driven, and you'd often get belt-driven brushrolls in the budget world of vacuums. No hate intended :)

Hello :) Is it the motor that is making a distorted noise? If so, maybe some dust has made its way in. I'm from the UK and we don't have these bissell cleaners, but from a point of view of someone who has actually watched scientific reviews of cleaners like this I 'know' they're pretty bad...

That looks cool! I don't know much about this cleaner but with self-sealing bags it should definitely help keep the dust out!

I haven't watched the video for my safety because I know it'll make me upset, but looking at these replies it sounds like this guy doesn't understand direct air motors. People always call them useless dirty fan motors which I hate because there is evidence they actually do well. According to...

I'm really sorry for all the conflict. I know it really sounds like it but I don't deny the thing that vacuumdevil said. I was just interested to hear other's opinions but I've realised what vacuumdevil said is pretty much enough. I'm really sorry.

This is a thread for other people's opinions, Les. I know that Vacuumdevil has a very good point, but these threads are meant for many other people to come together and share interest and other good points like any other thread.

That sounds cool, vacuumfan!

Why don't we have central vacuums in the UK? I'm so jealous of you lot. This Hide-a-hose stuff looks really good. Looking at the video, it looks to have really good attachments. Maybe, and this is me being very greedy, as a Riccar fan from the UK (even though we don't have that in the UK...

Thank you vacuumdevil! I would still like to hear other people's opinions for thread purposes but you do actually have a good point. I was wondering because (maybe I'm being a bit fussy) when the EU rating labels were a thing, other Henrys get a C rating for anti-dust emission but the Henry...

Hi Vacuumland, I know I sound ambitious when I'm talking of this but I was wondering, for those who make custom Numatics from other models, if you can take the HEPA filtration build off a Henry Allergy and put it onto a Henry Cordless? I understand it's not as simple as taking the filter and...

I thought Sanitaire was owned by Electrolux. Sounds absolutely disgusting if Bissell stole them.

Oh my goodness! I find vintage numatics with the faces messed up a bit scary, because yeah, can't describe it, just doesn't look to good. Whether there's no mouth, or one of the eyes are diagonal and so on. I also find the big Charles, the cream and brown one, a bit scary as well because the...
