    Goblin name at Asda UK

    New "EU" vacuums have less suction than 30 year old vacuum!

    strange Yes modern machines are different to their older ones, but the fact is that plastic is thing, made for a price and once snapped cannot be repaired. Manufacturers or importers get away with making cheap tat just to undercut their rivals. Its just money without considering what the...

    Hoover Pure Power U3125

    Sadly I am selling my Hoover US1325, WAs bought at a defunct co op store back in 2001. The machine was old stock, I no longer works need a new switch but selling as the Chasis is creaking and needs to be replaced.

    Hoover Velocity VL81VL01

    This Machine gets a best buy from Which, But i Suspect it is made in the same factory as Vax, But why only 1 year warranty. Hoover Claim (or should I say Candy) (Hoover USA owned by TTI) that is on a promotion and will go up, I would never pay £259.99 for a chinese made Hoover
