Thane X5 Vac

[godfreys_guy]

Does anyone have one? I've just ordered one here in Australia, as I'm curious more than anything. It says it has a European designed dynamic motor that spins at 26,000rmp which is much faster than a normal cordless vacuum... I'm curious haha

I see a Dyson copy!

It's interesting

But i have a feeling it's just not that effective. With the filtration system it has, it probably looses airflow quite rapidly.

What sort of arrangement does it have to pick up liquids-can see this as a real smelly mess!And does it have a shut off valve so the liquid doesn't get into the motor.If you are going to drag this thing out to clean with-why not use your MORE effective full size cleaner?

I would choose a DC35 over this anyday! even a DC16.

This is available from QVC in the UK. The one review isn't very good.

its not

Too bad actually, suction is pretty strong and seems to keep it. 15 min run time is good. The liquid lifter is a separate unit, and it can be rinsed easily. The stain remover tool is OK, but the window tool is pretty silly.

The floor tool is small but nimble and practical. The best features is the dusting dome... super soft and works really well...

I'll decide over the next 2 weeks as to whether to keep it... so far though I can see it being handy. No where near as good as my beloved rocket though.

It is nothing like a dyson, not even a little bit. By the way, the cordless handheld dyson series are not even that good, as handhelds, the best rechargeable one you can get is the black & decker pivot system. It is nearly a 3rd of the cost and is more powerful.

What dot hey mean by "European designed motor " ?

 

[parwaz786]

No, what I meant was the feature of the machine is like a Dyson. The handheld vacuum with a wand and floor tool. And a hose with tools. That us what the Dyson cordless vacs are like.

It looks laughable. It comes nowhere near a Dyson cordless.

It really does look so cheap and tacky.

Hand held vacuum,

With wands & tools? rings a bell.....
