The guy from Sweden with the cat!

I know this thread is Cold, but I have to reply anyway.
It seems that there are a couple of vacuums that is intertwined. The Vorwerk Kobold, Sebo Felix and Miele U1! I have seen this on forums and videos a lot. I am not an exception. I have them all .

I prefer the Felix for some of my rugs as it has the best deep-cleaning powerbrush, the Vorwerk I love because, at last, there is a vacuum with a powerbrush that can be used for the delicate carpets/rugs as the bristle are really soft. softer than the soft-brush you can buy for the Felix.

Your U1 (the reason I want to reply) in the Picture is the same as the one I have, I think! I do Think is a bit week regarding the air flow, but good enough and does high piles which the Vorwerk fails at. It is also much easier to use for hard floors (with the Miele parquet Twister) and above floors than the Felix.

I hope the comment "The guy is Swedish and have a cat" did not imply that I have no credibility. The cat insures I have a lot of a certain hair around my Place ;-).

I bought my Vorwerk from Denmark and I have Always recieved superb support from them. Sorry, that Vorwerk UK was not like the people in Denmark. Well, they should be sorry, not me.

Take care / Jakob Stockholm

Hi

I love your videos, they explain so much : ) You are great, no insult was meant

I now live in a 1 bedroom apartment which is fully carpeted and the rooms are huge so the Miele U1 dynamic allergy is perfect. I bought a Dyson V6 mattress for car cleaning as i don't have power outdoors. I also have a Miele C2 ecocline allergy whaha few extras (it was bought for car cleaning before i discovered my garage does not have a power point. I also have a new in box Art by Miele red roses.

No pets, kids etc here and i am on the verge of OCD so the place is alway clean.

Hello guy from Sweden with the cat haha

I like your videos too but not seen much from you lately. I'm the guy with the central vacuum

Glad you are now settled in your one bedroom apartment Jakub

 

[drsnuggle]

Thanks guys!
Jakub (you have the best of names ) I was just kidding about the Swed and the cat. It just looked funny when I read it.
I love my U1 also. Even if it is heavy I don't notice it that much and I accually use it for quick sweep-arounds as it is easy to just release the wand and on with whatever nozzle/tool I like. It is very stable.

The world it pretty small, Sebo4me (yes, I remember your comments). Once I saw my Blizzard videos on this forum and the person posting them was afraid that it was unlegal. It turn out to be Vacuumtests, hahaha.

Well I have made six videos during my summer vacation plus one minor response video (Blizzard filter frame). The pic is from one of them.

People are so funny. This girl commented in german with full panic about the filter frame on an old video. Ok, I wiped out a video fast and posted. It will be more videos later, but now I just enjoy my last vacation weeks and will just relax. Maybe (read maybe) I will buy the Felix Disco and do something with it.

By the way there is this youtuber which has done a few central vacuum videos, performence reviews. Check'em out.

Interesting, for reasons I won't bore you all with yet, I had my Sebo X1.1 out today instead of the Vorwerk. It had a brand new bag in it. Normally, with a new bag, I can get a good inch of dust and hair in the bottom of the bag, but the Sebo has barely picked up much at all. Enough to the line the bottom of the bag with mostly cat hair, but certainly nothing compared to what I used to get up. Reassuring that, despite the softer brushroll, the Vorwerk was a worthy investment and is picking up more.

Oh, don't get me wrong my Vorwerk does an excellent job on my low-medium pile rugs, even if the brush is soft. I have no association with Vorwerk, but I am very impressed by it's performance. Indeed. I think it has to do with the design of the powerbrush/brushroll and the vacuum. So, I have definitive no regrets.

I wish I lived in the UK/US and had wall-to-wall carpets so I really could test it out. But I do not. In Sweden it is most wooden floors, tiles and stone type floors plus some area rugs.

The picture is of the uprights I have plus you get a hint of the configuration of a Swedish living room!

 

[sebo4me]

I do like the Vorwerk. I will get one at some point.

You'd think they would have carpets in Sweden as it's so cold in the winter brrrrrr and wood flooring can be a bit cold.

In Sweden in the 70's (I was just a child) I remember seeing on TV old people in the UK having huge problems warming their houses/flats. They had to put coins in a box and if you did not have money they would freeze to death. Also they only had one glass windows. Well, in those days electricity in Sweden was very cheap and we had two glass windows. So we had it warm and cozy. Another factor was the boom of carpets in the 70's. It was so intense that the manufactures made a lot of low quality carpets which, in the end, ended the use of carpets.

These days electricity is expensive so it pays off installing three glass windows. I have that now. So the reason is low quality carpets and many layer glass windows. The three glass windows really keeps the cold out.
