Kenny Rogers isn't it?

Oh dear...I think the lady (putting that mildly) in reply#160 is using that vacuum for a comb, it looks like that's what in the bin. She should have at least tidied herself up before going on film...or maybe she did..anyway that's just completely sad..

 

[sebo_fan]

Is that brush roll supposed to be completely white though? White bristles in such a compacted way, or do you think its all her silver hair wrapped around the brush roll?

Now I know I'm a bit long in the tooth but it looks like her hair...

Mark, if you found everyone using a Kirby, there would be a thousand pros and a negative con- minus one, of course!


 


Oh, one finale thought: Kirby not only makes the world cleaner but Hap...Hap...Happier!

 


Truly, we would all enter into an Age of universal peace and tranquility, such as the world has never known before!

Those videos-funny and clever--but what would they think of the vacuums in the OLDER days that had the cloth dump bags?You know BPB---BEFORE PAPER BAGS?Got to admit dumping the cloth bag was easier than fussing with those bins and filters!In the end--you simply want the dirt to go to the landfill or back outside!My Dad used to dump our cloth bag Kirby outside and I dump the Rainbow bin in the plant bed or the street gutter---there you go in any of those-Dirt goes back outside as the vacuum salesman said it would!

Well, personally, I have both bagged & bagless vacuums in my household. And I prefer both. Reason being is the main problem I have always had with bagged vacuums is even the ones that use HEPA bags seem to lose power quickly. Only exceptions being my 2 Miele canisters using the AirClean bags, & Kirby & Royal metal uprights using the HEPA Cloth bags. All the multi-cyclonic vacuums I have ever owned or used, they solved the problem of losing power quickly. However, if I had to choose, I would choose a bagged vacuum if I could only own 1 vacuum. Why?? Because bagless vacuums are so darn messy!! I have yet to see a bagless vacuum that doesn't get hair or muck trapped around the cyclonic shroud inside the bin. Plus, you have the mesh filter that needs washing occasionally & will eventually get clogged anyways & make it lose power. Plus, some vacuums, like my new Electrolux UltraCaptic, actually state in the owners manual it is suggested the mesh filter be replaced once every 2 years, so have you really saved anything if you have to pay to replace the filter? NO! Until they can TRULY make a mess-free multi-cyclonic vacuum AND make it so both the mesh filter & HEPA filter last the lifetime of the vacuum, I'll prefer bag vacuums over bagless vacuums if I ultimately had to choose.

The debate of whether to get a bagged or bagless vacuum are never finish. However, for a canister vacuum, I believe the bagged vacuums are prefer based on the overall performance and ratings at Amazon.com.

So important info available to ponder at the link here:

I have to say ......after using my Shark rotator for a while now, there's NO dust that collects on the outside of the unit, like it did with my Fantom Fury I had a long time ago. Emptying them is the same ROYAL PITA that I remembered! I've found something for me that works great. I use my rainbow to dust the house after using my Rotator to do the carpets, then I suck the rotator bin, along with the foam filter clean with my rainbow. No dust flying...If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have bought the shark rotator because the attachments are a complete joke, but it works GREAT for vacuuming carpets which I have wall to wall berber and it's light weight and easy to grab to do quick run through.....but I wouldn't want it as an only vacuum.

No dust collects on the outside of my new Hotpoint Trolley cylinder bagless vac and it comes with 2 HEPA filters. However! When it comes to filter cleaning the foam filter collects a lot of loose dirt that requires to be cleaned off before the main motor HEPA filter. I would have much less to do if the Hotpoint I bought was a bagged vacuum.

I like both in my cleaning arsenal.I think the very reason for me having so many was trying to find the perfect machine for me and my place, pretty sure that does not exist in one machine for me.

 

[marks_here]

It doesn't matter to me

I'm bagsaxual anyway

Sebo_fan, when did you purchase your Hotpoint Vacuum?

With regards to Hotpoint cleaners. I tend to use mine bagged as opposed to bagless, it's much cleaner & dust does not go everywhere when you try to empty the container.

 

[sebo_fan]

Ages ago - the review has already been put online.

In general I don't tend to use this bagless vac much - it was £60 which to me is a major bargain. But I wanted to try any one of those models after Hotpoint sent me a heads up about it 2 years ago after I did that Ciao Hotpoint washing machine video test.

I think in time I may source the bagged conversion kit but even if I can't get one for it, it is no big issue. The vacuum is great for the cost price - only thing I intensely dislike are the floor heads to tubes with no locks. Very Bosch - same fittings, which means an upgrade to a better feeling floor head is possible as are the usage of certain Miele suction tools like their bendy long crevice to cleaning around corners and/or usage of their car clean set as well, larger dusting brush and really, any of their friction fit only cleaning tools.

 

[hi-loswitch98]

I got mine for £71 if I recall which is a good price. I find it quite good quality but the bags are quite hard to source.

I'll look out for the review.
