Hmm...it didn't REALLY do that well though, did it?
Don't get me wrong, I love the T2, 3 and 1000's, but this took several passes over what some machines would pick up in one go. But I agree with your bagless comment - I'd had to try and clean out a cyclone with all those wood shavings and guinea pig poop in it. |

I do love my Turbopower though.
I paid nothing for it, and haven't had to spend a penny on repairs because there have been none! In the almost two years (will be two years in Februrary 2012) I've owned it, all I've done is replace the belt once, and put a few new bags in. So I'd say I've spend £5 to keep it running for almost two years... Wow! Though my Electrolux beats that! I got it free and it came with a spare belt and pack of bags, which I haven't even had to open yet. I love freebies. |

I don't actually have a "main cleaner" really...
If I had to I would choose the Turbopower hands down, but I like to give all my cleaners a turn of cleaning the house. Example: Monday - HOOVER Turbopower Tuesday - Philips U800 Wednesday - Electroux 502S Thursday - Hoover Ranger Friday - Numatic Henry Saturday - JMB SC1056 Sunday - Panasonic MC-E8011 I actually have a cleaner for each day of the week! Ha ha. |

I tend to use these 2 as my daily drivers. The Sebo X1.1 is, IMO, the best upright on the market today. It's a really work horse and does a brilliant job. I usually use this everywhere. The Electrolux 616 (from 1989) is one of my all time favourites and such a nice vacuum to use. I tend to use that upstairs when I'm having a quick whip round. I also use Henry upstairs a fair bit when I'm doing a big clean up and stripping the beds - he's a lot easier to vacuum down the mattresses with.

Although I like to use one cleaner every day, I'll admit I have two favourites that I tend to use, but don't tell my other cleaners that, they may get upset...
My two favourite cleaners, and the ones I tend to use more, is my 1994 Turbopower and 1982 Electrolux 502S. I love my other ones dearly, but not as much as my "babies" :) |

I know a lot of people on here like to use their older collected vacuums as daily drivers, but I like having 1 or 2 modern cleaners that I can run into the ground and not worry about them. Having said that, I can't see I'm likely to ware out a Sebo or a Henry as they're probably the 2 most reliable vacuums on the market lol
