Not Good riddance to bad eggs, there's a reason I hardly post on here! Sebo_fan didn't get him banned, he got himself banned with his unacceptable behaviour. Matt

"The Panasonic Bagged Uprights worked perfectly well with a 1500w motor." The Panasonic bagged uprights worked perfectly well with a 600w motor! Hopefully this is what we will see again over the next couple of years. Matt

Europe's tendency not to use clothes dryers It is seen as a waste of money to use a clothes dryer when it isn't raining, I agree with this, even when it is raining most of my clothes go on an indoor drying rack. Plus, it isn't against any regulations here to line dry, nor is it seen as a sign...

Fantastic It's great to finally see a sensibly sized motor in a domestic machine again, after ever increasing wattages over the past 2 decades or so to a ridiculous level in the last few years! Hopefully where we have seen the "drive to the top" in terms of wattages, we will now see the...

Bagless ball I sometimes do the tilt trick too if going from one type of flooring to another and can't be bothered to wait for the machine to adjust itself! Once it gets to the right level the machine basically pulls itself along by it's brushroll! I haven't used a Kirby more recent than a G...

Wouldn't you agree? Probably, but playing the devil's advocate is always interesting.

A machine that hovers over the carpet When did the constellation come into this discussion?

Perhaps I shall come into your house and see how perfect it Feel free, bring a pair of white gloves I'm rather proud of it ;)

TP2 build quality It's certainly a lot better than a tp1, but not a patch on Sebo, plastics are nowhere near as solid, plus the bag door is very flimsy. When I first got my x4 I thought the cleaner head was metal rather than plastic because of how strong and sturdy it is! With regards to...

Just....wow watching this thread has been like seeing a car crash in slow motion. I have a Sebo X4 along with 2 top condition turbopower 1s and a turbopower 2, so I'd like to think I'm in a good position to compare here. The carpet cleaning of both the turbopower 1s and the X4 is on par, with...

Hi Matt Nice to see a local member! I'm also a massive fan of Sebo and have an X4 myself which is coming up for 4 years old now (got it for my 21st birthday lol) I've kitted mine out to the X4 pet spec with the extension hose and tube, bare floor brush, turbo brush and charcoal filter, hehe...

Cylinders on the continent I have to agree with Sebo_fan, fitted carpet is almost non-existant. The general attitude, certainly in germany is that fitted carpets are "dirty" and old fashioned, even in bedrooms and living rooms ceramic tiles are popular, but most people have a mixture of wood...

My Grandad Had a G reg BX TDI in black, fantastic car! Love the styling inside and out! By far the best car anyone in the family has owned, would love to get one myself!

Number of cyclones Does the gradual increase in the number of cyclones a bagless vacuum uses remind anyone else of the number of blades in razors? One did the job, 2 made it safer and more comfortable, but they just keep adding more and more. Won't be long before we end up with something like...

I was born in 1989 And I would consider anything pre-1950s to be "Vintage", 50s-70s "Retro" and 80s-90s "Used/Old" However, most of the machines I collect are from the 80s, because they are the machines I am most fond of and I feel offer the best performance, not because they are "Vintage". I...

Very interesting to see how these work. I haven't used either and I know they're far from perfection, but I'm sure with a bit of tweaking and improvement they could be better than those awful pleated cartridge filters found in modern low end bagless machines. Matt

"Sorry people but Dyson are the best out there. The best performing, The best innovation. With Numatic following close behind! Because British vacuums, are the best. End of." That gave me a good laugh! "Dyson started off to be the original bagless vac" That gave me a good laugh too! I've...

Got some of this with my X4 It did a fairly good job, although I've very dubious of dry shampoo powders since my Mum bought her DC01 de stijl which came with their 'zorb' powder, clogged the whole thing so badly it had to be sent to dyson for a service! For stains, I normally just use one of...

Thank you for posting this! The turbopowers may not have been the most advanced, and certainly were not the most well made, but needless to say they are my favourite vacuums, along with the turbomasters. The suction may not be the best on the tools, but for most jobs it is more than adequate...

Thank you! Going by those date codes my 560 was made in the 13th week of 1985 and my 612 in the 48th week of 1987. Now just to date my Mum's Contour varipower (I think 1994) and I've got all my luxes dated! I shall pop to the vac shop tomorrow and see if he has an older style brush roll...
