Goblin 1100 wet and dry compact vacuum cleaner.
A small yet powerful cylinder vacuum cleaner. Available at good electrical stores and Argos for £49.95.
After the disastrous choice of our previous vacuum cleaner (Electrolux Cyclone 1500 true hepa filter), we felt no other choice but to replace the unit ourselves. I spied this lovely little green vacuum cleaner in the Studio card magazine for £49.95. It had a good write up, and appears to be able to cope with the punishment that 4 untidy children, 2 equally as untidy adults and one rottie can throw at it.
The 1100-watt motor is exceptionally powerful and is able to lift my carpets without any difficulty. The cleaner is bright green and uses no bags. (A significant advantage). It has the capability of sucking up 5 litres of liquid, or up to 11 litres of dry debris. (Not at the same time though). The cleaner is extremely light and easy to use, and requires almost no assembly prior to use. The castors need to be attached to the base of the unit, and the hose attached to the front. The hose is a reasonable length and the nozzle is extremely well designed incorporating two wheels on the base of the unit for ease of use. This is a feature that I would have expected from a more expensive version. The filter is completely removable and can be washed out under the tap for cleaning. Although Goblin recommends that if, you are continuously picking up liquid that a foam replacement filter should be purchased.(about £4). It is easy to empty and reassemble, and there is a small crevice tool included in the price. Alternative accessories are available at quite reasonable prices direct from Goblin.
I am more than satisfied with our current choice of vacuum cleaners, it is not only an economical choice, it is really good value for money, and above all, it is not being used as a coat rack. This vacuum will carry on Goblin up all of our families and dogs debris for some time to come.(I hope!!!!!)
Good old Goblin, I have no qualms in recommending this vacuum cleaner to anyone searching for an effective but economical hoover.
After nearly 6 months devoted service it is still Goblin up all our rubbish
Advantages: thorough vacuuming Disadvantages: doesn't put cleaning agents through your carpet
I bought my grandfather a Goblin Aqua Vac 1100w wet and dry "cleaner", and I use it every day. Although this vac will not CLEAN your carpet it can be used to vacuum up spills and unblock drains etc if you remove the paper filter inside. I have used it on spills and picking up foam cleaner from the carpet, and it works fine.
I have been told that these filters do not need changing for years, so that is good news for keeping down the upkeep! There ... ...I bought this model in Argos and was amazed that there was more than £10 off the catalogue price, even though it wasn't promoted. I think this is because the manufacturers have changed the whole look of the machine, and were wanting to get all the older ones sold! Good news for me then.
The previous vacuum was extrememly noisy, and I was even known to wear cotton wool in my ears when using it! But the AquaVac is a lower kind of noise that I can ...

Advantages: Cleans as well as a Vax at less than half the cost of one. Disadvantages: It's quite heavy and suction head becomes clogged
...I decided to buy the Goblin 3 in 1 multisystem, it was £80 in Index and is brilliant.
As a carpet cleaner it cleans just as well as a Vax and at less than half the cost, the only disadvantage is that the spout which sucks the dirty water back up easily becomes blocked with hair and dirt and it is quite heavy as the cleaning water is contained within the suction head while the main body holds the dirty water and boy is it dirty. I also find it invaluable ... ...up all dirt and cat hair so I tend to use it more for this purpose than my standard cylinder hoover.
Another advantage to this system is that the hose is very long and I can hoover the whole downstairs without having to plug it into another socket. I really think that this was a great buy and is proving invaluable as I am in the process of potty training ...
