Satan's vacuum cleaner

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Where do I start ?!

...Hoover Dustmanager Cyclonic Bagless Cylinder Cleaner. Sometimes inanimate objects make me really angry. I kind of have a 'Basil Fawlty' moment where I have to shout, scream and kick it a bit in the hope that it will somehow make it work. This vacuum cleaner ladies and gents is one of those such objects. Never before have I been driven to the brink of insanity or felt such rage and fury against something. I can feel my blood boil as I think about this hoover even though it went to the great rubbish dump in the sky a good 3 months ago now. THE TECHNICAL STUFF • Model number TC5212. • 2100 watts. • 2.5 litre dust capacity. • Washable HEPA filtration. • Foot operated cord rewind and on/off control. • Includes floor brush, dusting brush and crevice tool. • On-board tool storage...

Electrolux cylinder vacuum

Advantages: Well made, very quiet, very powerful, easy and pleasant to use...
Disadvantages: Floor head could be better, brush tool poor.

...I have owned this vacuum for around 3 months now, and it has proven to be a good product. Performance-wise, it is very quiet and very powerful. However, the floor head lets this product down; it is too lightweight and on certain carpets it almost skips across the floor when you pull it towards you. A second negative point concerns the 'brush' tool, which is basically a tiny brush stuck onto the end of the tool used for getting into corners. This is practically useless, and with the vacuum on full power also makes a lot of noise. However, the main vacuum unit seems to be well made, and the handle and hose are actually better quality compared to a previous miele machine. The dial used for switching the machine on/off, and for controlling power output is perhaps not suitable for those who have problems bending. At first I thought you...

Proaction Vacuum Cleaner

Advantages: cheap and compact
Disadvantages: none really

...Proaction SL208 Bag-Less Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner After moving in to my new built flat and having limited space for things such as Vacuum Cleaners and such like the idea to get rid of the oversized old cleaner was of course my own and not the thinking of my rather thrifty boyfriend. We did however come to a compromise and instead of my idea to get a compact Dyson for a large amount of money we settled on a compact cheap vacuum cleaner from Argos instead. The idea of getting a bag less vacuum cleaner was really mine as I find the whole idea of having to spend money on bags, which seem to fill up in our house pretty quickly, only to throw away seems such a waste. The cheapest bag less vacuum cleaner available in Argos is indeed the very one we bought, this Proaction SL208. It set us back a mere £24.99p a price that I find...

Not a bad vacuum for the price

Advantages: Cheap, decent cleaner, lightweight
Disadvantages: Doesn't pick up every little bit off the carpet

...When hubby was working in Scotland on an extended contract a couple of years ago he rented a flat up there and the vacuum cleaner provided was worse than useless so we decided that he should buy a cheap but decent one for the duration and then bring it home with him at the end of the contract. As it happens it has worked our well because now we have our cottage here on the Great Orme in Llandudno we can have this vacuum cleaner upstairs in the cupboard. It then saves me lugging the Miele up and downstairs every time I clean. SO WHICH ONE DID HE GO FOR? He wanted a cylinder vacuum cleaner and after a bit of research on the Internet he decided to go for the Electrolux Powerplus Z4411. HOW MUCH DID IT COST? I am afraid that I can?t remember how much we paid for it when Dave bought it but it currently retails at £37.99 so it...

Review of Electrolux Z4411 Powerplus Bagged Cylinder

Panasonic Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner.

Advantages: Lightweight ,strong suction and bagless.
Disadvantages: None.

...I bought this vacuum 3 month's ago mainly because of the Patented Panasonic Bagless System and also for the powerful 1400 watt motor. I'm very happy with the performance and the up to date look. The body is a light grey with the big capacity dust container being a fluorescent blue colour, it's also very lightweight and easy to move around. The vacuum comes complete with >>> Suction hose measuring 2 metres long. 2 chrome metal extension wands measuring 1 metre together which attach to the suction hose. The floor nozzle that works well on hard floors or carpets, with a filck of the switch the brushes can be lowered or retracted. 2 onboard tools being the crevice tool and the dusting brush, The crevice tool is great for getting into hard to reach places such as...behind the radiators and down the sides of the sofa...

Damn good Hoover . . .

Advantages: Light, efficient etc
Disadvantages: None

...Right, those members remembering Hoover Juniors, will know they are a bog standard little vaccuum, correct so far. What has changed is the design, gone is the functional practical austere look, this is the new Doctor Who of cleaners. This is the new improved "Hoover with attitude" It looks modern, stylish even, and I dare say designers have been briefed to give it a sort of "In your face image". While I have absolutely nothing against the idea of a household appliance being trendy, or even cool, I just think that we should keep out feet on the ground. "It is only a vaccuum cleaner" nothing more, nothing less. Weight is only 3.8 Kgs, very light for this type of appliance. Availability is good, you will find them everywhere. As for the price, do not pay more than £35, this seems an enormous amount of money to me, but...

SUCK LIKE YOUVE NEVER SUCKED BEFORE

Advantages: Compact, good suction power, great all round vacuum cleaner
Disadvantages: can be slightly pricey

...demonstrating the sucking power on most of the vacuum cleaners available on the market. If I was not already mad, I would of found it highly funny to watch! I was undecided between an upright and a cylinder vacuum cleaner, I was not falling for the pretty looking ones like my husband was indicating at, I was more interested in the sucking capabilities this poor little addition to the family would have to cope with. So I had decided with a cylinder cleaner but which make? I have used the Meile cat and dog cleaner before round my mums so I decided to purchase the Meile Revolution 500 cylinder vacuum cleaner, and made my husband part with his hard earned cash costing £240.00. The Meile Revolution 500 came in a pretty blue colour with the sucking power of 1500 watts which would not only suck up the dirt but strip the dog of any loose hair if...
