Finally I got my Hoover Sensotronic System 30

Similar to Dimension

Yep, this was similar to the U.S. - specification Dimension, but as has been pointed out, different tools and colors were used over here.

I had a Dimension, which was discarded after it blew its control board (that "electronic sensing feature" in the brochure), and I was quoted a cost-to-repair well over half the price of a new vacuum - with only a 30-day warranty on the repair.

Contour Plus suction head

Was absolutely bloody awful. A prime example of form over function.

I bought one to use with the Sensotronic System 2, and discovered that it had drawbacks.

The inlet mouth was reduced to a long narrow slot, so larger debris (sweets papers, etc.) got trapped rather than rushing straight up the tube.

The litter picker (there was only one, I think) was still too small. I always thought it should have been the full width of the nozzle.

The Hoover Aquamaster's combination head (identical to the Vax head), was a much more usable bit of kit. The twin litter-pickers (on plastic substrate) could be readily replaced. And it did the job in half the time.

Contour

I never thought it was dire, just clunky, but then again have always used these cleaners with the power head or small nozzles....now imagine a power head on the Hoover vari speed wet & dry, that would make a great combination cleaner!!

Markus, I take it you had the same round disc air freshners to slot in the sensotronic bag compartment, and what scents did you have??

Hoover Sensotronic

I think we had only this green scent. It smells like a fairy washing up liquid. I haven´t ever seen sold these separately.
