Sebo x4Extra Vacuum cleaner, eats dust like no other...

Advantages: Robust, powerful, does the job, high quality
Disadvantages: heavier than others

...If you've ever stayed in a hotel you've probably noticed that the Sebo is the choice of housekeepers around the world. Why? because it does the job better than any other vacuum cleaner. These machines are powerful and get the job done. We used to have a Dyson, which bit the dust (pardon the pun), and this is when I chose the Sebo as a replacement. In my household its been determined that along with putting out the rubbish, vacuuming is a man's job?! Hence, I chose the vacuum cleaner and I chose a man's vacuum cleaner not one of these funky highly coloured lightweight cleaners which crack everytime you hit the skirting boards. The cable on a Sebo is longer than most others in my experience which means you haven't got to keep stopping and starting, saving you precious Match-of-the-day time. The machine automatically adjusts its height to...

Review of Sebo X4EXTRA

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...

Review of Hoover VHD862

A Little Hoover for Little housekeepers

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

...ones can do all the spots you miss as not only does this Hoover have its own wheels it has its own suction system which is battery powered. Unfortunately the suction system is not as powerful as I had first hoped and is almost non existent but it makes a noise which my daughter likes so therefore is suits me. There is a little container at the back which can be emptied should your little ones manage to suck anything up. The Hoover is made for children 3 and up but my daughter is 1 and she loves it. I don't really know why there is an age limit because there are no small parts, it is very lightweight and easy to use, absolutely no cause for concern. There is a rubber 'wire' which is retractable like a real Hoover. If inside the Hoover this really could not cause any problems but I suppose if left un ravelled it could get caught up...

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

Sebo X1 vaccum cleaner.

Advantages: Great vaccum cleaner, picks up EVERYTHING
Disadvantages: can be a little heavy, wiring can be stripped easily.

...I have a part time job as a cleaner whilst I am studying at university and this is the vacuum I use. I can't tell you where to buy it or how much it costs to buy or maintain since I just don't know but I can give an honest opinion of it since I have used this for over 2 years now. This vacuum will pick up anything. At home I have a Dyson which most people think are great- SEBO is out of its league! In the place I work people bring in a lot of dirt on shoes, sand and sometimes guide dog hair and I have never had a problem with any of this. I have never had the brush stick with hair which is a particular problem with my Dyson. The vacuum glides across the floor when on and I have no problems with it. I am however young and male and I feel that those who are older and (without being sexist) girls may find it quite heavy to use...

Review of Sebo X 1.1

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...
