in case its not obvious lol, its a hoov...err i mean vacuum cleaner.

i already have a dyson, its good but a pain in the bum and probably on its last legs.
the idea of not having a cord looks a good idea. the cord is the worst bit usually.

I'm thinking of buying one too, Bob.

I would only want one of it was as good as my Dyson.

I like the way it compacts the dirt for easy emptying, rather than getting a faceful of dust and debris that you get when emptying the Dyson.

Looks neat and takes up less space, too.

I'm going to do a bit of research.

I'm going off the idea already

Buying one of these is out the question

From an amazon customer... "It has no tools, so edges and crannies remain dusty"

I couldn't possibly allow my crannies to be dusty Blush

I have many crannies in my 200 year old cottage.

I'm gutted, to be honest.

Was seriously thinking of getting one Sad

Not sure if Dyson make one. They're sure to bring one out if they don't.

I bought a 'Samsung Motion Sync Vacuum' a few weeks ago, it has a cord but it's very easy to Manoeuvre, has  tools built in the handle, 2000W Motor, CycloneForce, very happy with it. (£129.99 from Hughes)

I cant see how a 22v battery operated machine is going to suck better than a 240v dyson.

300 notes is a bit steep. i think i have the normal dc animal, though i dont have pets, think it cost about 220. 220 is plenty really, 300 is a bit ott.

You surely don't believe what the adverts say (or, rather DON'T say!)

So it gives you "Up to 45 minutes" of use. How long is 'up to 45 minutes' exactly? Forty minutes? Twenty? TEN? Confused

And as for those tidy little compacted thingies that he dumps in the bin...he never says that they were produced whilst using the cleaner. He made them on a bench four days earlier, specially contructed to be a nice tidy fit!
Also, the compacted 'thingies' that he shows seem to be held together by cat hairs or dog hairs. How would they perform on a diet of dust only?

I would guess it will be one of those useless artifacts that gets used for three days and then never seen again.


While I'm at it...I'm not too sure that any of these machines actually sucks. I think they dispel air (blow, if you like) and the 'sucking is simply air from the surrounding atmosphere filling the lower pressure space thus created.
But it certainly wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong. And it's highly unlikely to be the last! LaughLaugh

No. This advert is a bit like the shampoo one...'Up to 100% flake-free' (pardon the expression!).
What tolerance band does is covered by 'up to 100%? I'd say from nothing to everything. Meaningless mumbo-jumbo!

Bob, simply because everything you get involved with seems to be a tragedy!

People who fall for this sort of promotion, without doing some personal research, deserve to be taken in, imo.

and i never buy anything withour researching it.

for instance, i wouldnt buy the blu ray of the shining even though i want it because after a bit of research on the interwebz i found out that its 25 minutes shorter than the american release of the same movie. so if i buy it, i'll buy the american one. which is region free anyway so will work over here. research is key my good man.
