I love the dc07 as well, In non clutched for it had a powerfull brush roll They also had a huge bin, A mate of mine that does dry carpet cleaning only uses the dc07 non clutch models, They are used every day all day without any serious problems.
We use a dc07 clutched model with the USA brush roll and sole plate to clean our shop, Its great

I brought it in my previous job but never really used it as I decided it might be collectable in the future. Am currently starting the process of downsizing the collection so it may be heading for Ebay at some point... Seamus |

I was diagnosed with Asbergers when I was 12, I have it very mild on the spectrum, but it affects the way I understand peoples feelings and strugle making new friends, I imagine it is linked to my vacuum obssesion, but people that have an interest in something does not automatically mean that they have Asbergers.

"A carpet should not have a vacuum ran over it which has a stiff brushbar and is really aggressive, The soft brushes are good for carpet and help it last longer" Sorry, but you are wrong there.
The "gently gently" approach does not apply to carpets. You need good stiff bristles and preferably beaters of some sort to agitate the carpet and get the grit from deep down in the bottom of the pile. Carpets are tough things, hell, you walk over them all the time, how much strain do you think that puts on them? |

The grit and dirt left behind by a brushroll that is too gentile will cause much more wear over time than something more aggressive. |

Fair point. However, some stiff brushes have been known to melt some very cheap man-made carpets. |

beaters are good if you have a nice thick carpet, but if you(like me) have a very thin carpet then, lets say the hoover junior is kinda useless- a dyson is better for my needs, and the most aggressive vacuum i use it the hoover turbopower 1- thats just perfect. |

Carpet manufacturers recommend a soft brush roll as a stiff one can damage and tear the carpet fibers. That is from the company's that produce carpets I think they would know. Some even go as far as saying that using a vacuum with a stiff brush roll will void the warranty.
Brush bars tend to spin at around 5000 rpm, Take a piece of soft string and put it into a drill and switch it on, If you had to touch that string you would get a decent smack on your hand, Now a drill spins at 2000rpm so now imagine a brush roll with stiff bristles hitting a carpet at 5000 rpm it can do some serious damage, especially on wool |

So why is it the Hoover Activator brush roll was recommended by a carpet manufacturer when it had firm bristles and beaters?
Also, Hoover made the original Agitator brush roll for almost 80 years, surely if carpets were being damaged they wouldn't have lasted that long before people complained and stopped buying the cleaners. |

On hard flooring any vacuum that has suction is just as good as the other in terms of dust pick up but on carpet you need a good brush roll.
As such, Dysons do not have a good brush roll, you only have to look at one to see that. I would say for the best cleaning of carpets the Hoover Turbopower 1 models would be the best as they are dirty fan and have the Activator brush roll. |

well i think dysons are not good for fine dust pick up, off carpets anyway- they can handle surface fluff and debris but you need a hoover with an activator brushroll it picks minute particles up!!! |

Well, if the activator was that good, you'd find them in the industry trade on carpets, but hate to say it SEBO rule the roost with their stiff bristles and not forgetting they do make a delicate brush roller incase you have thinner types or precious underlay. Their brush rolls however do not spin at the highest rpm, so its no wonder the industry love them. Carpets are groomed and cleaned well with SEBO brush rolls, yet they are also protected by them as there do not have beaters on them. Same with Oreck.
Jamie, you pose a good question on why the activator has been recommended by carpet brands. Possibly because Hoover paid these companies for the use of the carpet brand's name and in tow, the company would recommend Hoover for their activators? Hoover have been known to do this before with other companies as well as rather off-set ideas like British Allergy Foundation approved vacuums, on ones that are bagless cyclonics -yet we all know that bagless is far from hygienic when it comes the time to empty - and where is the BAF seal approval then?? I was looking through a lot of my old Hoover brochures of late. The Turbopower 2 and 3 series blurbs have to be seen to be believed - Hoover claim that the tools offer 180% more suction than using the previous vacuums Hoover sold, which kind of mocks the Senior, Junior et al before the TP2 and 3's came around. One has to take things with a pinch of salt. For collectors, the difference is that we may well care for our carpets because of the range of models and brands we choose to collect. However to most buyers, if a Dyson seems to be the most technological brand around, they'll more than likely buy it regardless of the brush roll type. |

Well actually the 180% more suction is probably true.
Yes the Seniors and Juniors are brilliant cleaners but have you used the hose on either? What they probably did was compare the hose suction between the Juniors and Seniors to the TP2 and it doesn't take a genius to work out that the TP2 would have so much more. |

Dyson can pick up some fine dust after one vacuuming, All Dysons seperate the fine dust from the larger particles :) Jamie: Thank you so much for the recommendation :) |

To answer your question - yes the suction on a Junior U1104 is feeble using the hose and pan converter. The Senior however isn't at all bad - not when you consider that once the converter is fitted at the back, it flicks a switch that puts the motor into a higher mode. Yes it may be noisier but the suction isn't that bad. No wonder Hoover tried at all lengths to sell their newer TP2s & 3s at that time - but to use "previous models" as a comparison must be a smack in the face for all collectors of Hoover classic models - as well as at that time, previous owners of previous models.
Also, Axminster also approve Sebo uprights... |

Tayyab - your question for "dust" pick up is slightly confusing. Dust to me is the stuff that moves around, requiring a suction hose and tools. Dirt pick up is where the stuff in carpets comes from or on hard floors.
Whilst Jamie has his opinions, and as you have seen already Nilco vacuums generally use clean air systems, their box uprights are similar to SEBO but not the same machines. I have used a Nilco dirty fan upright vacuum before and they're generally just as great at picking up dirt - the one I tried many years ago simply didn't have the built in suction hose for "dusty" areas.

One can only imagine the condition of the plastic after all that time. Dysons were fragile from new, never mind 15 years later. |

The Proline UVC18 you speak of is actually a Vax upright, catalogue only model. I raised that some time ago on here regarding it as Vax have a cheek to price it at £139 compared to the Comet/Currys model.
