Just wondering if anyone has one of these upright vacuums? They appear to be a bit of a bargain online but have re-useable washable dust bags as standard as opposed to paper bags. £33 to £48 online which is largely unheard of for a "new" bagged upright.
Also link to Amazon UK shows a similar model at £80. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK

Kind of a neat vacuum-the metal floor shoe and metal handle!But the plastic brushroll seems out of place with the quality metal shoe.A metal brushroll with replaceable strips would have been super nice! | ||

I saw that Chris - but I have a feeling someone told me they can be difficult to push because of the tiny flush roller wheels seen at either side in that photo I supplied. It is difficult to see how it can be used for hard floors with a metal sole plate like that despite the two settings on the floor head and there doesn't appear to be an adjuster shown on the base where the adjustment mechanism is placed. Perhaps it switches the brush roll off, I don't know.

Best Avoided For what it sells for in the UK, I think it is very good value for money. It won't take the abuse which a more full-sized cleaner will, but it is an excellent choice in my view for an older person like myself. | ||

I just did an online calculation and can tell you that in the UK this cleaner sells for around 100 of your US dollars. It's a cheap cleaner here, how does this compare to the USA? | ||

Thank you for all that info!
By some of the reviews that appear online, it seems to do better in a caravan. Its small size definitely justifies the use of it in a small bedsit or caravan. Pity it has poor performance though. If it was better designed, it could be a cylinder vacuum with a removable PN head and handle with Miele style suction tube/handle spine.
I can now see those bristles for hard floors. That's a neat idea. | ||

The One Thank you for this. I never saw a Hoover One, other than on television commercials. My understanding is that the cleaner was hopeless. | ||

According to the Which? magazine... The Hoover "The One" only excelled in one respect: that its suction hose was capable of reaching up the staircase. Everything else about it was rubbish. | ||

Sounds like the Qualtex model I saw. Amazing value really. | ||

When I clicked the link I knew I had seen one of those before, and surely enough I found the North American version on emerusa.com.
