Does this vacuum have a rotating brushbar?

[parwaz786]

if so, is it Air driven or motorised? because Im not sure its motorised because of the price.... I saw a dirt devil one without the brushbar

Don't know sadly, but these are only £34.99 in my local B&M's. Cheaper than one of those Argos vacuums but probably not much difference in performance.

From the looks of it, it looks like it does has a brush.

It looks something like the green one Eureka sells here in the States, I think it's called the Omni. That machine does have a small rotating brush roll. However, it easily clogs, and gets wrapped with hair easily due to it's small diameter.

Thanks guys

The Ebay seller replied, they are selling the metallic blue one for £1, and they say that it does not work well, it is not a good vac, no brushbar, and they use it on the stairs, and its very small.

I was gonna buy one of them, in the store I got it out of the box, and it hasn't even got a brushroll!! It looks kinda crap tbh.

Thanks hows the suction? is it loud? ty

 

[dysondestijl]

Dunno I didn't buy one due to the lack of brushroll

Thing is, what gets me is the that UK brands know they can produce a corded upright stick vacuum with a brush roll but no one wants to do it. Beldray have had some success with their Chinese built suction only corded stick vac but I've yet to find a good corded stick vac with a decent brush roll - Sadly the only one I've found is the Miele Alternative / known in the U.S as the QuickStep = but I found that the Miele's main problem is that the bags don't keep all the dust in due to their bottom fill design.

I agree, The only British one I seen was quite hard to find, its the Electrolux or Eureka brush up stick vbac, its got a brushbar, and its similar to the super broom

I've been using my MR/Shark Navigator Liftaway as a quick clean up vacuum, it's very light and easy to use and the low profile head easily gets under furniture. At the same time it seems to deep clean if you can pick one up cheap I recommend it.

 

[parwaz786]

Awesome! Which Dyson would you say it is closest performing to?

that Shark looks tiny

IMHO Electrolux had it right with that Supabroom with a brush roll - stick vacs shouldn't be expensive flashy toys, nor should they be overpriced. Whilst I like the idea of a cordless stick vac like the Ergorapido, its a compromise that a lot of buyers have to make because of the lack of a mains cord. 


 


I wouldn't suggest that any of Shark's (or Morphy Richards) Navigator vacuums are suitable as stick vacuums per se - but they do look like they are the next best thing, similar in size to the Vax Mach Air. It's a pity that the corded stick vac has more or less died out in the UK, largely one of the biggest attractions is the lower prices. I think the Bissell lightweight 140 watt stick vac and of course Electrolux now Zanussi Supabrooms are still available, but they are woeful on power, sadly. 


 


My daily quick driver is my Vax VCU02 - it replaces the Mach Air because I got so fed up of the short hose - it was even more cumbersome to use than the short hose on the Sebo Felix! - So I stopped using the hose on the Mach Air and the original Orange model I had also had a uselessly short amount of lead. The dirty fan "upright only" Vax VCU02 is just so much easier to use and of course it has a massive dust bag on board. <span style="font-size: 14px;">It was also mega cheap at £39-99 when I found it at a local shop.</span>
