Muscle up with Maytag

Advantages: Powerful Suction
Disadvantages: A bit on the heavy side

...Maytag U5288 Our very basic Hover model had given up the ghost and retired to that vacuum haven that all old and out of suck vacuum?s go to. It?s poor lung?s were so full of dust and sand that one morning when I plugged her in, she just made a wheezing, whirring, coughing noise and died right there in front of my eyes. Now over the grief, we realised that a replacement was badly in need and off to our local Carrefour store we went to see what we could find. The selection was rather limited with most being the cylinder type. I can tell you I just don?t like these models, not sure why but they give me the feeling that you should be going WALKIES with them and not hovering a home. Anyway I had the choice of 2 uprights, first being another rather basic Hoover model and I couldn?t bring myself to kill another one as I knew it just wasn...

Review of Fisher-Price Learning Vacuum

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...

Review of Hoover ST 327

Maytag Stainless Steel dishwasher

Advantages: Quiet, large inside, easy to clean
Disadvantages: Intermittant fault that doesn't seem to be fixable, expensive

...I have had the Maytag for nearly two years now. I bought it to match with new appliances in my refitted kitchen. The machine holds a lot, more than our previous model. It was so quiet that when we first used it we didn't think it was working! It is easy to use, with lots of programmes. It has a low salt and low rinse aid indicator. It has an economy programme as well as all the usual programmes that you would expect for a top of the range dishwasher. About a year ago it suddenly started tripping the electric off and we needed to get an engineer. I bought the machine on line and I looked up Maytag and phoned them, they then arranged for a firm of engineers to send someone round. The engineer arrived, tried the dishwasher but it was fine, so said he couldn't do anything but let Maytag know if it happened again. He noticed...

Review of Maytag MSE760FAKS

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...

Review of Casdon Toy Hetty Vacuum Cleaner

A vacuum of great suction

Advantages: Cheap, efficient and easy to operate
Disadvantages: It has a bag that need emptied

...After having 2 dyson vacuum cleaners in the last 7 years I decided to purchase a cheaper one this time and see how it went. With 3 small children and a golden retriever and a navy blue carpet my vacuum cleaner is hard worked but a money was tight I decided to take a risk and buy a refurbished one from Ebay. After lots of research I finally decided on the Hoover U3525. It retailed around £100 but the reconditioned one I got for £35. I thought if I have to buy a new one every year then it would still be cheaper than buying a new dyson every 2 or 3 years. When it arrived I was apprehensive as I had never purchased anything this way before. It came by courier in a new box and when I opened it is was like it was brand new. I would new have know it was reconditioned. I couldnt wait to try it out. At 2000 watts it was really...

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...

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...

Review of Hoover TC1209

Lets Hoover up?

Advantages: Has it all! ... its very tiny!
Disadvantages: Nothing major really!

...This bagless Hoover, vacuum cleaner (weird saying that as I always call a vacuum cleaner a Hoover anyway) comes with loads of gadgets specially for the very accetable price of £60! The list is: A massive "2000W Max Motor Power"- so you know is going to pick up dust well! A "Hepa Filtration" - which filters the air, ideal for all you allergy sufferers out there! A "Pets Turbo Brush" - designed to pick up all pet hairs (really good as a lot of vacuum cleaners dont come with this and you have to purchase this seperately from the supplier) Its "Nanopack Feature" - basically its super time and can be stored in a 45cm cube! "Rubber Rotowheels" - which will protect your laminate flooring when it moves across. All "Tools on Board" - so you dont lose them or waste time looking for the one you need! The pros--- other than...
