What are these vacuums you talk of ? Rolling with laughter

Due to environmental regulations we now have underpowered vacuum cleaners. It's not so bad for domestic stuff, but for commercial use they are really poor - even the new Henry's don't suck like they used to.

Saying all that, Numatic vacuums are as good as they get. We have two Dysons - corded and cordless. They do the job but I have to agree with you all about the build quality and iffy design. I have had no respect for Dyson since he moved the manufacture abroad. We also have a green metal Numatic (I don't think they make them anymore). Cracking bit of kit. Great for getting dog hair out of Defenders Thumbs Up

Maybe Def2 should have an alliance with Mumsnet?


I saw that the UK had imposed wattage restrictions. I want to say it was 7 or 800 watts. Fortunately my US model is 1200. I feel bad for you guys.

"Nothing sucks like an Electrolux" well except Diesel prices at my local BP. They suck. Nearly £100 to fill up Drogo.

If I recall, Hoover nearly went bankrupt many years ago with an offer. Something to do with plane tickets to America or something like that. I will try Googling.

I've already came out of the closet as a vacuum operator. Maybe I am giving all you guys the courage to come out as well.

It's ok to like vacuums lads, no one here will judge you!

Well we gave up on the dyson vacuums after they did not get the dog hairs off of the rug, so we went with a gtech for a little while and was far much better than the dyson ones, it picked up the hairs Wink so after a while the gtech has been relegated to a 2nd vacuum now and we have a shark now, very pleased with it and gets all and i mean all the dirt off of the floor and is very versatile and with all the attachments makes life a lot easier Very Happy 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

I am not used to profane language however with Dyson I make the exception, so what the Censored is those Censored Dyson prices all about for what is, in essence, a cheap bit of plastic crap.

I am a Henry man I have two models owned them for years during which they have fallen from roofs, down numerous flights of stairs, thrown in the back of vehicles and each and every time they have bounced back and when the motor finally starts to give up you can carbon re-bush them in minutes and they are as good as new. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Very interesting. Sounds like my cnc lathe at work. Romi machines started by an Italian that moved the company to Brazil, that uses a German control and electronics(siemens). Great machine.
