Hoover PurePower, what happened???

[turbo500]

I've not actually used the pet boost yet. I tried one of the new 1100w X4 Extra's and didn't notice any difference between that and the old 1300w X4 or 1150w X1.1. Personally, I thought the decrease a little unnecessary given that the limit is 1600w until 2017. Even still, the original X1 was 800w and still cleaned fantastically, so I'm not concerned.


 


The height adjustment override is something I wouldn't personally be too bothered for anyway, I'm more than happy to use the auto height adjustment as it is. I would like to see the manual height model re-introduced as an entry level model though, giving the customer the choice to suit everyone's needs. Having said that, I suppose people who specifically want a manual height adjustment but still want the build quality and reliability of a Sebo would just get a Felix.

Of course you are going to agree with each other and be oblivious to the issues with the cleaners because you are both Sebo obcessed.

 

[turbo500]

Sebo obsessed. Yeh ok. Right back at you with dirty-fan Hoovers.

For the record, I'm not even using the Sebo as my daily driver at the moment.

 

[alexhoovers94]

Yes, I am, but I know the issues the cleaners have and I wont try and make excuses.

 

[vintagerepairer]

Gentlemen do feel free to remind us how old you are.

 

[alexhoovers94]

Look out its wiseman again....

I am 21, do you want to see my I.D? I am sure we wont require yours to know your age...

Wiseman

How very kind of you to bestow on me this title. Indeed you are quite correct Alex that no ID is needed to know my age, though I will admit I did think you were younger than 21.

 

[turbo500]

Alex, do we really have to have this conversation again? You're such a hypocrite it's untrue.


 


Everyone is a fan of something and as I've said many times before, there is no such thing as a perfect vacuum, you just have to find what works for you.


 


Just because I'm a fan of Sebo cleaners, doesn't make me obsessed. As you well know, my favourite cleaners are the Lux 500 and Twin Turbo uprights. They're not Sebo's now, are they?


 


Not that my age has anything to do with it, but I'm 26.

I have a PurePower and I really like it. Its 750w (which I prefer to the greedy 2kw ones) and it has brilliant suction. I saw a demo from ibaisaic of the exact model I have and on the correct floor setting and it picks up ALL pet hair. You can't go wrong because it somewhat edge cleans better than my Gtech AirRam, as well as not wrapping round almost ANY bits of long hair. (sorry gtech fans!)

On the other hand I can relate to all these complaints. I'm OK with the floor pedal as I have a bit of foot strength, but other people will definitely have problems with that, not to mention it's 8kg. I can carry it but others might need something lighter. Also the motor in my model seems to lose its power quickly, and I try and check for hose blockages and dirt around the brush roll. I also try to get dirt off the corners of the bag if I can, btw I use the Microfibre bags. I can tell if there's something blocking the airflow by the tone of the motor raising pitch, and the only solution to this problem I've found so far is to change the bag even when it's not at the maximum fill.

It's a shame because I actually really enjoy using my Purepower and I want to look after it as much as I can. Going off topic I just wish the Turbopowers used 750-800w of power input and never used the permabag system, then I would look to buying one if I could.

By the way Hi Alex!
