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

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...

Panasonic Vacuum Cleaner

Advantages: Attractive bagless design
Disadvantages: Not suitable for anyone with a busy schedule

...(Please see updates below) ***********Original Opinion*********** I bought this Panasonic Vacuum Cleaner three months ago. I have not had a Panasonic before so was interested to see how it compared with my previous models. I chose it because it was bagless and had a see-through dust holder. It is easy to see when it is full which prevents blockages building up. It is quite fiddly at first to empty, but once you get the hang of it, it comes easily. There is also a sweeping device to clean the air filters within the dust compartment to ensure that it is functioning to optimum effect. Well, that's the idea! I find the attachment hose a bit cumbersome, and not very user friendly, but that shouldn't detract too much from the product. It does become a bit fiddly though when you are unhooking it to suck something up and then...

Review of Panasonic MCE472

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...

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...

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...

Review of Hoover TFS7209

Hoover washing machine

Advantages: Energy efficient, can handle big loads
Disadvantages: Can make a few noises some times, but nothing mager at all.

...Not quite a year ago me and my family needed to purchase a new washing machine, so we ended up looking through quite a few brands, as you do. We wanted one that was energy efficient, not to complicated and could handle a vaste amount of washing, as are other one gave out the ghost from over loading and living in a hard water area. So in the end after swaying from one brand to another we ended up on this Hoover brand and i have to say it really has fulfilled all our washing needs. First of all most importantly it can handle a good 6kg to 7kg of washing, which is great where my family is concerned! It doesn't have a fancy LCD display which is actualy a good thing as the controls are less likely to go wrong because you've got less technical things to deal with, it also features a handy balancing mechanism...

Review of Hoover HNWL7166

When is a Hoover not a Hoover? When its a Vacuum

Advantages: Great cleaning quality for such a small compact machine
Disadvantages: Couple of design flaws that just irritate

...A Hoover is a Hoover, is a Hoover - Unless it's a vacuum cleaner of course! Well how many of us incorrectly talk about using a Hoover? When in fact we're just using another Vacuum cleaner - Just one of those idiosyncrasies of life today how a manufacturers name is somehow more associated with the task or appliance being used, rather than its accurate use. However, in this instance I do have a Hoover! A genuine one. A bright blue one! So, how about a little about the company: Hoover began in America, in Ohio. Eventually it established itself in the United Kingdom, and was a major player in the early and mid 1900's dominating the Vacuum cleaning industry. As I've already hinted at, the Hoover became synonymous for vacuum cleaners here in the UK. Although the company is no longer the major seller of Vacuums in the country...
