He traded it in with chris and got a turbopower 1000, an Electrolux power line and the lux contour!
Sorry to answer for you Alex, it's just I l we what joe was asking:)
George
 
I never liked the George, I always thought it was to big and bulky, loud and wasn't all that great at shampooing. The hand tool that comes with the George is great, however. Since I didn't like it as a shampooer and most of the time you would only use it for dry vacuuming anyway, which I would of just used the Henry for that, I had no use or need for it. I only used it to shampoo and at that it was only used about 6 times so was practically new. I hope Chris enjoys it anyway.
 
Forgot to say nice collection you're getting there its like the total opposite of mine I have mainly cyclinders and all bagless lol I do want to get a Hoover Silent Energy while they're still available which would be my first ever bagged cleaner I just love the styling of them!
 
Thanks :)

I have heard possitive things about the silent energy, but cylinders are really not my thing, I find them boring, an upright with on-board tools can do everything a cylinder can but better :P

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wish my collection was like that, mine is a puny selection of old Dysons in the corner of my conservatory. </span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">And it doesn't help that mine is techincally spread over two houses, mine and my grandparent's, who have my Hoover TurboPower 2 U2464 and my pathetic Electrolux Z119 (I think that's the model) and the Goblin Topo which I have no clue on the model number. I will however list them, (and their multiple problems) but the grouping is meagre compared to you're vacuum colossus. Oh, and all the Dyson's par the DC07 have lost various degree's of suction. </span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">MY HOUSE: </span>


<ul>


<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Dyson DC01 Standard 1996 </span></li>


<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Dyson DC02 Standard 1997 </span></li>


<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Dyson DC03 Standard 1997 - Hose torn, terrible suction </span></li>


<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Dyson DC07 Brush Control 2001 - Needs new whole bin/cyclone assembly </span></li>


<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Electrolux Cylinder Vacuum 2006 - Total rubbish, hose torn, wheel falls off every 2 minutes, big crack in the dirt tank so dust leaks out and precariously avoids the motor.</span></li>


<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Bosch Cylinder Vacuum 1994 (?) - Not sure on model number, little red thing that is used for the car mostly, it has a variable power control dial but it is buried under many moons worth of junk in the garage.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hoover TurboPower 2 U2464 1994 - Good vacuum, nice to be behind the wheels of a Hoover for a change! The logo is missing from the handle (purely cosmetic, but me and my ways like everything to be perfect and original!) Plus the handle at the back is snapped off so winding the cable us usually involves winding the cable round the body rather scruffily, but it stay's there. It has only had approximately three years of use as it was placed in a loft in 1997 after my grandmother not being able to grapple with the Hoover because of its weight, so it was replaced with the Panansonic MCE-468 which in itself is a great vacuum. The Hoover does need a new belt and it has a bearing issue, pointed out to me via my YouTube videos. Ta Alex :-) </span></li>


<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Goblin Topo 1400 2003 - This is a very neat little vacuum, in great condition too as it was permanently kept in a static caravan for seven years, and has only ever had approximately two years work, as the caravan was not used more than 2/3 times per year.</span></li>


</ul>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for putting up with my lengthy post, I know my collection isn't very good, but with the car boot season starting soon, I hope to pick up some great deals!</span>
 
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Cheers</span>

I hope Chris enjoys it anyway

Chris certainly does enjoy it!

I do agree with Alex, it is big, loud and awkward, but I needed a 3in1 wet and dry cleaner and something to use when decorating or doing any kind of messy tasks. The Contour, Powerline and 1000 were all just taking up room - I don't think I've used the 1000 since I got it about 18 months ago. The swap made perfect sense to both of us.
 
Tayyab, you have a good collection! but what do you call a "fat Henry base"? LOL

Chris, I do like the George, but I know what Alex is saying. I'm considering getting a 1990's George.

George, by any chance do you have a Numatic George? lol

- Joe
 
Joe, it's true, they are large and not very easy to use, but no more so than an old Vax and a darn sight better. I actually found the shampooing to be pretty great on George and the suction is incredible
 
George:- I have the DD Handy zip :) its in the shed though, I don't use it much though
Joe:- LOL I was saying that its a numatic nmotor unit with a henry bucket with the large base
Alex:- What do you mean? :/
