Saw a couple of Goblin branded vacs at Asda today, but can't find them online. Looking under the boxes It says made for Asda, so I assume the Goblin brand is only available there at the moment. | ||

Well, Morphy Richards, who also have Goblin are no strangers to labels and other machines.
The Supervac cordless dust buster upright 732000 I bought weeks ago has been fantastic to use and though I wondered about where it was made, it turns out to be badged as a Hoover Heritage 5210 in Australia. Hoover products in Australia stem from TTI...

Sebo fan, another thing I just noticed is that your "supervac" is much more expensive than the U.S. hoover "presto" which can normally be found for about 60$ which converts to under 40 pounds! I suppose over here it's a real bargain! Scott | ||

VR,
The US did have a similar-yet-different version of the Rio cylinder, known as the Shop Vac Mighty Mini. Biggest difference being that theirs used paper bags, which I can't help but feel would have been a vast improvement over the messy cloth filter setup we had over here. As to whether the Rio or MM came first, I don't know. Chicken and egg that one.

Scott - yes, the prices greatly differ in the UK compared to the US but then its like most things, vac related. Whilst I understand that SEBO & Miele vacs in the UK are cheaper to buy (but are no means cheaply priced) they are better value than the cost prices in the U.S - but then one has to remember tax and duty charges etc.
At the most I have seen the Supervac priced at £70 which I wasn't able to get due to my location - around $111-12 | ||

"Why would you have to hunt for any other cleaner, Chris, when you have SEBO"
I don't for my house. I want something inexpensive for cleaning the car with. Uprights aren't ideal for car cleaning and I don't want to scratch the Miele to bits using it outside. Henry would be better, but too expensive just for the car.
Tayyab, I did look at those, but they seem a bit big and clunky. The hose seemed quite short too. I do have a Dirt Devil Handy but the hose suction is..well..non-existent. Whilst it's great for stairs, not so great for cleaning the car.
I might just have to bite the bullet and get a £20 crappy thing from Poundstretcher. It'll do for the car, if nothing else.
"Um, because like all of us, Chris is also a collector of vacuums."
LOL, ya know, Nar, it's not even that. I'd quite like to have something easy and quick to use to encourage hubby to clean his damn car once in a while, the filthy beggar! He's worse than Alex with his filthy sofa, but that's another story. | ||

OK, but it is 32mm so if you wanna do something with that hose you can | ||

Chris, I wouldn't recommend any vacuum from Poundstretcher, one of the staff there told me they get returned all the time because they burn out within a week. | ||

It also swivels. Now.. where have I seen a vacuum like that before that swivels and has its filter grid above the floor head / under the bin?
Hoover's Slalom and later Globe models. One can only begin to wonder if they all come from the same factory despite the change of brand name. Not exactly the same, but same arrangement where that filter is concerned.

These don't look overly impressive to be honest.
Someone on the facebook group has just bought one and it looks pretty cheap. The only dusting tool included with it is one of those crappy crevice tools with the bristles on the end that Dirt Devil and Goblin compact cylinders used to come with. Despite them possibly being a bit naff, it's certainly nice to see the classic Goblin name reappearing. | ||
