A Roll Easy for the 21st Century?

Tom

Is this machine expected to come to the US? I have an original GE Roll Easy and would love to get one of these to keep next to it!

When it comes to bagless

it's multi-cyclonic or bust. Why would Vax even bother if it's going to be another high-maintenance, poor filtering bagless that takes a major step backward, while hyping its forward-thinking? If a company can't design a proper bagless filtration setup, just make the cleaner bagged and throw a baker's dozen in the box.

I am with HenryDrefuss-If they came up with a BAGGED version with more useful handtools-I would buy.After looking at the pictures of the filters when the machine was used--would YOU want to clean out that mess??YUCK!!!At least with a Rainbow you could dump the water bin and mess outside in the plant bed!

It's cute, love how it's different from so many just a like, but seeing the filters I knew it would be a mess to live with.Not fond of cleaning filters all the time.NO thanks.

We will for sure get it as a Hoover. If the engineers were going to copy a vacuum cleaner that's 60 years old, why not copy one that was actually good? Like a Model G Electrolux for example.

I still like it

It's kind of cool. Wish it were bagged. I'd buy one if it came to the US

Mine arrived today, and I'm impressed! It is very funky, very very funky! Works very well too, the brushroll is VERY stiff, and the suction from the 750w motor is very impressive.

I know that a few others share this opinion as well, the hose could be longer, the big wheels are a bit wobbly and clunk about a bit, the filter (and there's only one I think) gets covered in dust and fluff very quickly. In the below pics I've used it for maybe 10 minutes on 2 rugs... The hard floor tool is horrible. Just 2 rubber blades, it squeaks and squeals over the laminate, and as the machine has quite good suction glues itself to the floor, and the only adjustment is the release slide on the hose handle...

I had to take off and grease the 2 front wheels on the power nozzle, and the rear wheels could do with it too but their pushfit and I'll never get them off without damaging so they will have to stay squeaky

But, for the price, I love it! Hope to get a proper full on vacuum done over the weekend to give it a good test.

Great, always enjoy your reviews and input

 

[beko1987]

Lol no worries. It's a vax product, so it won't be brilliant, every modern vax I've had has had a fatal flaw!

I hope Roger gets one to review, I haven't got a good enough video camera or voice to do a speaky video...

Hoover in US....

Well gang, looks like we will be waiting a while to get one here in the states. I contacted Hoover and inquired about the machine and if/when it would be released over here, here is the response I got back on it:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Hoover Customer Care at www.Hoover.com.

We do sometimes share designs between our US and UK brands, but that we don't have any immediate plans to import this model. There's always the chance that our plans could change in the future, but as of right now, it won't be available in the US anytime soon.




Sincerely,

Evelyn
