Haha, so true!

Actually I had the bagged upright version of that bagless Argos Value and its pretty good, or I should say Vax, because thats the company responsible behind the Argos Value versions as shown.

 

[dysondestijl]

im not surprised, the argos value range IS basically a Vax power 2 upright!

 

[sebo_fan]

Yeah but its a pity Vax dont improve the bagged upright themselves and sell it with their own name, include a bigger amount of cord, on board tools etc. Opening up the market for more availability on bags alone could pull in the buyers.

 

[dysondestijl]

Yeah, it's a Shame vax only have 1 bagged upright

My profile pic, Proline UVC 18 is the best upright IO used, well second best cus the features are crap lol, Dyson DC14, DC04, DC14 and DC27 + DC33 All the way!
The proline I regret throwing out I snmashed it, proper durable tho It had mad suction
I had the blue bagged cylinder, hose end didnt clip well, crevice tool holder broke, Filter didnt do well, floor tool broke, and motor kept going out of place!
Second one my Auntie gave me cus she was moving house and got a Henry, I cant get rid of it cus Aunt paid £30 for it and happily gave it to me, Which is really nice, BUT...
Bin keeps falling off
Use the vacuum for approx half an hour, turn it off, turn it on on low power, sounds like it runs on batteries which are gonna die
Floor tool cracked
Hose end cuff keeps getting un screwed, Filters ripped, And now it cut out on me!!! It wont die but annoyed me so much, its in the shed now, gonna stay there for a while
Lesson:- Argos vacuums, cylinder or upright, both have good suction, but the cylinders are cheapo!!! uprights are descent but rubbish design

 

[parwaz786]

PS, if it wasnt for VAX, we would still have bagged vacuums on the market

 

[sebo_fan]

If it wasn't for Vax we'd stil have bagged uprights

Well not quite. Id say if it wasn't for Dyson, we'd still have a lot more bagged uprights.

The first "big three" of the European companies to go bagless were Hoover and Electrolux. Vax soon followed with their Dirt Devil U.S Swift uprights and then the flood gates opened shortly before TTI took over.

Then when the supermarkets et al brought out their bagless uprights, they were all Dirt Devil U.S based - including that Tesco horror/Argos Value bagless upright mk1.

Tayyab, why did you throw the Proline out?

 

[parwaz786]

Joe, I threw the proline out stupidly
This is because my Dad was doing a wood project and he was cutting wood too, and KI used for proline foir it, and The filter clips snapped off when I was tapping it out while it was on the handle top too, Then it got annpoying to empty etc Its only good for cleaning with- but the features are annoying, like hose storage, tools are crap, Hose is not stretchy, etc

 

[dysondestijl]

Yeah I agree with tayyab about bad features

 

[ultimatevacman]

That's a shame

New profile pic Joe I have a red Mini the new one

Dan

 

[dysondestijl]

Yeah joe I love mini's!! Especially old minis! My friend had an awesome orange one but it rusted up and noone would buy it when he put it on eBay!
My mum has a 2003 Mini Cooper but I still prefer the older minis!

 

[ultraperformer]

I don't like the 1st gen BMW Mini the 2nd gen is much nicer The classic mini is cool but wouldn't want to live with one day in day out!

 

[ultimatevacman]

Thanks Dan and George! I too love the original Mini! They are brilliant cars! I don't like the newer ones as much as the older ones either, but they are still great cars

Ps back to Gary's karcher pics, is that a sunbeam mower in the background?

 

[tolivac]

Mower-strange looking machine-the deck is just like on an older 70's rear discharge Sunbeam mower-but the motor housing?Is this machine cordless and has a battery under the motor housing?Enquiring minds want to know!

 

[sebo_fan]

Now here's a bargain - wilkos are selling a "non face" Numatic commercial tub, 1200 watt.

[ultimatevacman]

That is a bargain, but unfortunately they are out of stock

 

[dysondestijl]

Yeah that's not bad, just it's not wet and dry!

 

[sebo_fan]

Thing is though you could just phone up and ask for them to get one in for you. Pity its not wet and dry but then again there's always EBAY for the second hand Charles models.

 

[dysondestijl]

Well I was using it last week for the most disgusting job ever... A blocked drain. Outdoors. And I had to wash it all out with the hosepipe outside. Now it's filthy and stinks so it lives in the garage. I have used it twice since to clean the mud and Hay off the back yard and out the car.

 

[jord123]

maybe a numatic charles to add to your numatics as you dont a many numatic

 

[dysondestijl]

Yeah I would like a Charles just a tad in the expensive side and also I would just keep him in the box and never use it lol I'd be afraid to get it dirty!
