I really like George. Probably the best spray/extraction machine made. Far superior to anything Vax have made. Great for washing carpets and wet pick up. However, they're VERY awkward to use as a dry vacuum and not easy to store. Very cumbersome to use as a dry vacuum and the suction is so strong, it's often quite difficult to use on carpet.

I totally agree with Turbo500 and also; the noise would drive you mad if had to use it all over the house as a dry vac! |

Well don't forget there is a suction air outlet valve at the top of the handle. With that open you get a better usage/easier to push hose and floor head. Also whilst George can use Henry dust bags, you can also buy 15 litre dust bags for George, thus cutting your cost in two if you just use that kind of bag alone. Also the 32mm sizing makes it easy to swap floor heads around, especially old Vax or Hoover floor heads that might be lighter to push anyway.
As a fan of the wet and dry model, Charles, I once managed to get through one bag in a holiday family home for 8 months before the bag needed changing and it was like a brick that required two hands to pull the bag out. Frankly I don't think any tub on the market is space efficient as yet, even James with the smaller length hose is a touch bulky. |
