MR

Will they still be made in Germany though, as I have heard that they are very good cleaners for the money. Was the 'Ecovac' model on reply 9 made in Germany as well?


 


I'd love it if there was more vacuum cleaner industry and manufacturing in the UK, I expect that several people on here would like a career in it, especially if the products were up to the standard of times gone by.

Yes both models in reply 9 and 25 are still made and sold in Germany under EIO tags.

The suction dial from one of the 2015 models shows "Made IN Germany" on the dial.

Ah

Ah right thanks for that. At least there's still new decent vacuums coming out of the woodwork, even if it isn't new.

I would LOVE a new DC07. Wish I had the money to get one though. Discontinued undiscovered wont reply to my emails

Thanks so much for sharing these, Jacob! Some great memories their.

My sister used to have one of those Goblin Scoot's. Quite awkward to drag around but they were great vacs.

No problems.

Glad to have been help and glad you've all enjoyed them.


 


I have a Scoot 1600 watt model with variable power although it's stuck on high. The size of the hose end means that I currently use it with the bent end off and the hose stuffed into the top of an X1 extension tube, as there was no poles that came with it.


 


Is there any way of fixing the variable power so it actually changes the speed? And do you know Chris where it was manufactured? Thanks.

The Electrolux 5805 bagless cylinder! Argh! Terrible memories of static shocks from vacuuming the carpet. if you didn't get caught by the extension pole, the static would build up around the tool holder (which sat over your hand) and eventually zap you.

No other vacuum ever did it.

The Hoover Arianne and Telios wasn't any better. For years owners had to put up with the trigger release at the top of the handle. Being sprung release by design required two fingers to release the trigger, it often meant fingers got caught, which was painful.
