Is there any vacuum similar to this in the UK?

[parwaz786]

It's a REALLY CUTE and fantastic Bissell Barbie vacuum! (I don't like the pink though, lol). BUT I would like a vacuum similar to this in design. With suction and a brushbar, how cute! I thought it was a carpet sweeper, but it has REAL suction!

It does really work and makes noise like a real Bissel.Does it run from batteries or plugs in?Not clear as to how its powered.At least the "little Mrs" can help with the housework with this-and boy vac fans,too.Would be neat for the child to use for vacuuming his or her room!

Apparently, this is a rechargeable vacuum which is quite neat!

I had one of those years ago, and it was likely one of the most useless machines I have ever encountered. It could literally hardly pick up anything, and it constantly got clogged.

It was neat as it was a translucent blue and you could see everything inside.

I would stay away!

This was officially available in the UK in a translucent blue colour. It was supposed to be used for quick pick ups like a rechargeble sweeper.

Cheers mate

The Go Vac used to be sold at Lakeland stores - a green one was also available.

Then Bissell replaced it with the hand held cordless pet hair version, I believe that was also made with Barbie decals in the U.S (the pet version didn't have a turbine brush but a grid of plastic nibs that are made to catch the hair into the dust channel).

Oops... Sorry Seamus and Roger , Thanks for correcting me though lol
Thanks Josh and Nar, I really would love one!

To be honest I think the nearest you're likely to get is the Ewbank Chilli vacuum. At least it is mains corded...

So after reading some of the other entries on this vacuum-sounds like it isn't so "useful" after all.Suppose it would be better to get the child a REAL vacuum for them to use.

 

[sebo_fan]

Well, it may be useful to some people, just not the collectors on here lol.

Bless Parwaz though, he's always looking for something alternative to a cordless Dyson hand held - and I agree - its always good to know of any alternatives and whether they are worthy or not.

I used to enjoy watching the little videos on Bissel's site.


 


There was this one, and there was a dark translucent blue one with Matchbox cars (?) on it for the little boys. 


 


They retailed for $30 to $40 and are terrible.

 

[parwaz786]

Lol Thank you MR. Nar, I was considering the DC44 but it is a rip off. And a used one wouldn't be good anyways because they always suffer from battery problems etc.
I am now looking at Kirby, Vax, and Sebo vacuum cleaners
