Hoover Performa AC110 Updated 20/04/2005

Advantages: Cheap, matches most wedding gowns
Disadvantages: A bit slow!

...I have owned this Hoover Performa AC110 for over seven years. I bought it at a trade centre and paid £199 + VAT (17.5%) I was a bit wary of purchasing such a cheap machine, but in the seven years that I have had it, it has proved it's worth time and time again. It doesn't have an exceptionally large drum, but I can squeeze in a double quilt to wash and that is big enough for me. It is a hot fill machine apart from the pre-wash which is cold fill. The spin speed is 1100, which is efficient enough. Apparently another 100 on the spin speed would only spin out a further egg cup full of water anyway. It also has a 'half spin' option. The Hoover Performa AC110 has fourteen wash programmes, includes a delicates wash and a wool wash. The hottest wash is 90 degrees and the coolest is the cold pre-wash. I was disappointed that...

Review of Hoover Performa AC110

Performa by name Performa by nature

Advantages: Very safe
Disadvantages: Not overly sensitive

...Durex Performa...... Certainly does put emphasis on the longer love making than the much loved quickie. The Strength is all there, as it it designed to lessen sensitivity on the penis. I found it works a treat on my man as he was a ferrari love maker rather than a Rolls Royce lovemaker. The smell of the condom is the same as all others... rubbery and looked about the same thinest. It had the British Standard logo as is required for a 99% success rate or user friendliness:) It is rather transparent with a slight white in colour spermicide lotion inside. On the packet it does say that the condom is for extra safety and protection, I guess it is for the more vigourous of lovemakers. The lotion inside looks a little off putting though I certainly did not hidder performance. If the lotion/spermicide is on the condom too much it can make...

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...

Expect a BANG! With this Hoover!

Advantages: Sucks okay when empty
Disadvantages: Rubbish, Noisey, Cheap platic, Wheels Pop off, Burns, Blows up. Smells Loads more!!!

...Hi everyone and welcome to this review. I just want to warn you all about this absolutely useless piece of rubbish and hopefully save you money. I wish I could give this vacuum 0 stars so much! But unfortunately I have to give it 1:( I bought this two weeks ago from my local electrical store, I thought I had got a bargain for the 50 pounds I had spent and I always try to buy the Hoover brand and thought this was a good deal. Unpacking ********* The box looked very professional and I really thought I had bought a great cleaner. The box was black and had a very classy looking picture of the Great"" vacuum I had just purchased. Along the side of the box was all of the Hoover?s features that I will explain later on. Once home I was excited, I don't know why! But I always get excited when I buy a new product. Gosh! I am...

hoover vision HD 862

Advantages: NUMEROUS! PLEASE READ ON......
Disadvantages: none significant, but more than 1 yr guarantee would be nice, at the price

...young teen took to it easily, always a good thing!! It has one year guarantee, with an extra 4 years on parts, but you pay labour (has to be repaired by Hoover at Hoover prices). They also offer you 4 years labour insurance at about £180, to be arranged within 30 days. What I like best is the big drum size, quick 15 minute wash, very high spin, and fact that the drum is quite high so loading isn't such a strain on the back. The porthole is very wide and the door opens wide, although not to a full 180. All in all I think it was a sound buy. I paid £359 from a local dealer including delivery and installation and taking away all packing. I could have probably got it cheaper from a big online store but I like to support local firms and knew they would give a trustworthy service as I have bought from them before. The small neat manual...

A Little Hoover for Little housekeepers

Advantages: Keeps them entertained, actually sucks up dirt
Disadvantages: None

...This wonderful little Hoover is a must have for every house keeper. It is not only cheap but it is extremely versatile. It fits in every little nook and cranny and picks up the tiniest pieces of dust and dirt. It does not need plugging in and comes battery operated, it does not even need hoover bags. All accessories included including Hoover brush and pole. This Hoover is so house friendly she even smiles at you whilst you work. Fantastic for little hands. Unfortunately like everything there is a down side - it is only a toy. Made by Cadson this smaller version of the real Hetti Hoover has been especially designed for your little house keepers to follow you around the house.

Review of Casdon Toy Hetty Vacuum Cleaner

Hoover makes washing machines???

Advantages: fits in a king size duvet
Disadvantages: onlly 1200 spin

...My last washing machine broke down a few weeks ago and after a painful 13 days my new Hoover was delivered, no it is a washing machine just made by Hoover. I bought it from Littlewoods catalogue and it cost me £299. Setting up and installation First I had to remove all the plastic packaging and polystyrene and place the washing machine near its permanent position. Next I cut the cable tie that was holding the hose in place. Then I removed four big long fixing screws in the back of the washing machine and covered them with a cap that was provided. Next to fix a bit of insulation sheet to the bottom of the machine with some double sided sticky pads and a couple of plastic caps. I did not need to adjust the feet as the washing machine was stable and did not hop across the floor. It only has a cold fill so only one hose to fit...

Up and at it all night.....

Advantages: It appears to work...
Disadvantages: Images of hospital treatment

...Now I don't furtivly browse the condom counter in Boots looking over my shoulder to make sure the man from number 10 isn't looking as I grab a handful of condoms but these condoms did catch my eye not because of the snazzy packaging. Performa condoms are rather plainly and discretely packaged as are most condoms. What caught my eye was the claim that they were for " longer lasting pleasure" Now we could all with a bit of that couldn't we? Durex claim that Performa will not only enhance love making but help prolong matters. Now before your thinking that this is because to put it delicately it's like "shagging wiv yer welly's on" and the male member of the duo will feel sod all due to it being a rather thick condom this is far from the case. Performa contains a mild local anesthetic, which helps to delay matters. Performa as...

Review of Durex Performa

A DUREX A DAY AND A BIT OF WAHEY!

Advantages: Makes sex last longer, will only ?delay? men, easy-on condom
Disadvantages: No new way of disposal. Makes you feel unfit!

...I almost called this op: STOPPING SHORT, SHARP SEX, as that's what the condoms seem to do LOL When I hear the word Performa, my brain automatically thinks of invoices. Those who work in sales or accounts will know that this is in fact a pro-forma invoice, and not a performa invoice, but I think you?ll agree it?s an easy mistake to make. * Reason for purchase Well once again this is a product I started using thanks to a free sample. A quick trip to Durex.com/uk will allow you to get yours too. Proof that if a company is confident enough about a product, giving some away free can prove very worthwhile! * Difference Why is a Performa condom different to other condoms? Well in my experience condoms always fall into one of three categories ? a) They are too tight and can hurt, b) They are too thick, which means you can...

Hoover TC1209 - Nice cheaper quality hoover

Advantages: Small & Light, easy to carry around & easy to store
Disadvantages: Fills up quite quick

...AI bought this hoover after my trusty Henry gave up the ghost. I was looking for something cheap that would do what it says on the packet (so to speak). I only paid about £40 for this hoover & must say am very pleased with it, it has a 2000 watt motor so the suction is more than enough. The hose length is 1.5m with metal telescopic extension tubes, you can stretch it to hoover most of your stairs but I do find it easier to carry it up and place it on the steps (its narrow enough to stay there without tumbling to the bottom). It also has no problems picking up pet hair. It has a 2 litre dust collection box (bagless) with a washable filter. You also have a variable power option (so when im doing the wood floor I can turn the power down a bit as not so much suction is needed). There is a foot operated cord rewind and on/off control...
