Goblin vacuum cleaners at Asda

New upright added to the line

There is a new Goblin branded upright now available at Asda priced at £40 at the moment, but that is a promotional price and will probably go up. Has taken some design stylings from the Hoover Globe, but is single cyclonic and is a lot lighter and smaller judging by the box.

Looks like it has a clip on hard floor adaptor like some of the recent Vax uprights and the energy label is on par with many of the uprights at the cheaper end of the market.

Sorry about the poor quality of the photos, I took them on my iPod touch.

it look's rubbish but for £40 what more do you expect

it doesn't look rubbish at all it looks pretty good for the price.

It also swivels. Now.. where have I seen a vacuum like that before that swivels and has its filter grid above the floor head / under the bin?

Hoover's Slalom and later Globe models. One can only begin to wonder if they all come from the same factory despite the change of brand name. Not exactly the same, but same arrangement where that filter is concerned.

Omg yes NArayan! I knew I had seen that somewhere I remember when the Slalom came out

These don't look overly impressive to be honest.

Someone on the facebook group has just bought one and it looks pretty cheap. The only dusting tool included with it is one of those crappy crevice tools with the bristles on the end that Dirt Devil and Goblin compact cylinders used to come with.

Despite them possibly being a bit naff, it's certainly nice to see the classic Goblin name reappearing.

Im surprised Goblin and others haven't spotted a gap in the market - if there are bags still available to buy that buyers are buying, Goblin, MR and who ever else should at least be able to offer cheap priced bagged cylinder vacs with an ounce of updated quality and floor tools.
