Hometek, the brand that brought you the original steam mop - they've got a new cyclonic upright on the market, though Im pretty sure it could be a Shark... 1200 watt so not overly high powered and cue the orange and silver decor! There's a brush roll and a swivel neck - not sure if it is worth £199 though.

If I ever pull one from freecycle or the car boot I'll give it a review. Not spending £200 on the thing though!! |

On Amazon they call a 1 Litre Dust Cup Capacity Large & most people complain about Hoover Dust Manager's Small Dust Cup - which is rated at 2 Litres. |

Well its not as if they're anything different from classic uprights like the Hoover Junior. Granted you can add tools to the Junior but not as standard, let alone other Electrolux uprights that were made without tools.
Cant see how you would find it difficult to push though - all Orecks are light to push when switched on - some are difficult to wheel away afterwards due to the flush wheels at the back. Oreck improved that with their XL7 in the UK. I agree that they are noisy though. |

You're a bit late of the news about Oreck - its been well documented on here when TTI took over.
As for the "Swerve," it's just a re-hash of what TTI have already produced with the Mach Air and Windtunnel Air. If it doesn't have a brush roll on/off, then its obviously a model "lower down' than what the Windtunnel Air/Mach brings. |
