I think its a case of chicken and egg - manufacturers dont fit them much here so people dont know about them to buy then, and as people are not aware of them to buy as they are not sufficiently promoted manufacturers dont sell them.
Stupid, I know! Hoover were selling cleaners with PNs from the end of the 1970s and through the 1980s, and across quite a large part of its range - Freedoms, Sensotronics and Compacts - and they were very good. Perhaps if Electrolux had fitted them too, and they existed on similar electrolux models in other countries, it might have been different. At the time Miele would have been too small a player in the UK at the time to have much effect and even then they only supplied PNs on their TOL models.
As far as I am aware Dyson have only fitted PNs in the UK to their DC35 & DC44 models although again they are supplied in cannisters in other countries.
