Hi guys. My name is Jacob. Some of you may know me as HotpoitFan from automaticwasher.org. I like vacuum cleaners very much, especially Dyson's. I own:

Electrolux Bagless Cylinder - 2006
Bosch Bagged Cylinder - 1997
Delta Essenntials Handheld - 2011

I also own a copy of James Dyson's autobiography.

Bye

Jacob

Hi Jacob, and welcome! Always nice to see new members. As you know, I'm AquaCycle over on AW.org. Hope you find some useful info on here and enjoy the conversation .

Currently, I've got:

Hey Jacob!

Nice to have another collector close, and by close I mean, I live in Wakefield lol. You look like you have some nice vacs nice to see a Dyson fan too!

"nice to see a Dyson fan too!"

...Oh Charlie, I used to think so highly of you!

 

[turbo500]

Jacob, the Hetty box is one of those mini-desk vacs that a friend bought for me a laugh

 

[suctionselector]

Are they any good?

I'm thinking of getting one. They are at Argos for £9.99. Please look at my new thread.

Jacob

^it's absolute rubbish at what it's meant to do, but it's fun to own lol

 

[twocvbloke]

Even I have one of them desktop Henry vacs, I've yet to get it modified to actually work though...

I don't think I paid £9.99 for it though, and it wasn't from Argos, can't remember where I got it actually... :S

Unless it was from Firebox, haven't bought from them in a long time...

 

[suctionselector]

I've got one!

I have just bought a working Hetty from a charity shop for £1.49! It works but I think it is missing an attachment.

Could some-one tell me how to modify one of these to make it work?

Thanks

Jacob

 

[rickenbacker]

Garfoth eh?

I was at Garforth a few weeks ago at the Garforth Arts festival I went specifically to see Billy Bragg! Also, be careful when modifying your Desktop Henrys. The motors look like the type to burn out easily if overpowered.

You saw Garforth Academy! Thats where I go!
