Since you haven't posted a pic of one in awhile I thought I'd add one for you, hope you don't mind.... It's my unused ultimate g 24K gold model. The gold actually makes this blah looking kirby quite nice I think.

Dan I figured you wouldn't mind. It is gorgeous, I've always found the ultimate G to be the most blasé machine they've produced. But plating it in gold really adds a new dimension to it haha, now if they would only make one out of platinum lol. | ||

My parents found my Aunt Jo's HOOVER Dial-a-matic it was in the basement sitting in the maids closet all the way in the back . It's in OK condition when I get time I will clean it up her maid Lila used it a lot over the years way before I intorduduced Aunt Jo to Orecks that was after Lila passed away and my Aunt retired and decided she wanted to clean her own home . They found ANOTHER HOOVER also will post it soon 😉 Dan

CTVACMAN
The brush roll photos that you posted are Hoover 2 row brush roll 48414081. Your vacuum is a Hoover PowerMax canister, judging from the color scheme of the power nozzle you posted I'm guessing you have a Hoover PowerMax Supreme S3611 canister vac as I'm seeing a dark green. But if it's navy blue it may be a Hoover PowerMax S3603-040. That brush roll is a 12" width and is made to fit Hoover
Futura, PowerMax, & Turbo Power 5000 & 6000 canister vacuums. In addition it is also the brushroll for 12" Hoover Elite, Runabout, **Convertible** , **Decade**, Futura, Encore, Preferred, Soft & Light, Legacy, Dimension, & Turbo Power 1500, 2000, 2200, 4000 and a few other units of these plastic unit style machines. Hoover did have a few Elite like machines with the name Decade and Convertible which is why I've included those model lines. Otherwise older Convertibles with middle belt and Decade 80/ 800 machines are a completely different brush roll. The brush roll you have is the best that Hoover put on those canister vacs. It was revised in early 2000's with 3 indentations of no bristle in the agitator to fit the new revised base plate with plastic nozzle plate guards rather than metal plate guards. I have a photo below of the newer brush roll that was available on the last model Hoover PowerMax Deluxe canister S3606 or Hoover Turbo Power 5000 canister S3612 when they ended production of that series somewhere around 2005.

Like the soft guard feature..
I have a couple of those i picked up, will probably male one good one of the two...but neither has that big bumper.
I should again add my appreciation of the fact you champion some of the lesser appreciated/loved models of Hoover, refreshing.. This post was last edited 01/22/2015 at 20:35 | ||

I was thinking...
.
various models all seem to be based on the same basic platform. Self Propelled, Dimension Supreme, Dirt Finder, Power Drive..maybe the Breath Easy. Yes they are all different in some way but at the same time similar no? *Photo credit for the Dirt Finder to Jess in Pittsburg. | ||

It's my life my money and I do what I please I've earned every thing I have and am VERY proud of my life accomplishments and my "extensive" collection . Hard work DOES pay off ... I am a ❤️HOOVER❤️ Lover and a KIRBY lover ❤️ My two top favorite brands . Dan | ||

Hoover 4103
Hi Dan,
Just wondering if the Hoover 4103 has the bag change that you slide the bag into a groove? I had one that color but not sure if it was the same. I really liked the way it slid down into the groove and often wondered why Hoover changed that to pushing the cardboard collar over the bag tube? I still think to this day, that it is harder to push over the collar, than to slide it into the groove, due to the thinner collar on their bags. Sincerely, PR-21 Bud Mattingly | ||

Thanks Dan.....
Thanks for the info Dan, when I saw it, I thought about the fill tube difference.
The Eureka is a pic of my Eureka 260. I got it by asking a vac shop online if they had one that was traded in. They checked there basement and had one. It needed a lot of tlc, but in the end was worth it. Sincerely, PR-21 Bud Mattingly | ||

Dan Please, two things.
#1 Please don't use those hearts around Hoover. The way you are posting them does not show up properly in some browsers, some users are seeing something very different. So please no more posting the word Hoover (or any other word for that matter) in any way but normally. #2 For those of us who use the Chrome browser (like me) you can right click over any picture posted and select "Search Google for this image". Enough said about that. Dan your threads are great fun, so please let's keep them way. | ||

Dan,
I'm a car detailer as well and only use high quality products! NOTHING from the automotive isle at WalMart.....My choice is American Detail Supply CO. Not sure if they are everywhere in the US, but I have one about 45 minutes from me and their products are fantastic! Especially the different interior/exterior rubber and vinyl dressings. Oh! And the speed wax is AMAZING! I could go on and on about automotive detailing.....haha! I worked for a year and a half at a Ford Lincoln dealership and was a porter/detailer and was voted the best detailer they had! That job ended back in August do to some things within the company I didn't like, now I'm working part time for a lawn care service and going to school three days a week to become an automotive technician! SO yeah....Vacuum Cleaner are not my only Hobby. They both sort of do together.

Sean
I have never heard of them although I haven't looked for any other products for automotive care since I discovered Griots Garage .
They also have a product called speed shine and a product called wax as you dry I use them almost daily to make my Mercedes shine better than any of my friends Benz's . Quick and easy to use for a touch up in between appointments . I also use their products on my vacuums , and throughout my home to shine up everything after my housekeeper is done . Good luck in school I'm sure you'll be a great technician 😁 Dan | ||

David wow
You really touched me and I appreciate you chiming in . Yes many on this site hate me for my being able to own every vacuum I have ever dreamed of but they don't bother me one bit . They have something deep within them that makes them angry and unhappy , I can only pray they find happiness and they too one day can have all the vacuums they ever dream of .
I am always very PROUD of my accomplishlments and know many appreciate my thread I have worked very hard for everything and anyone can do it you just have to live a positive life and be kind to others and work hard . I have amazing and loving friends who support me as I support them in all their endeavors . We only get one life on this earth and I live my life being happy everyday I never get jealous nor I am not offended by those who have more than I do , I am very happy for them and praise their success and hope that one day I may be as successful as they are . There might be an American vacuum in my collection that would love to relocate to your home I am going through my collection to see which I will keep and which I will let go . Keep using those American Hoovers and that KIRBY nothing beats a KIRBY they are my true love . Dan | ||

VERY NICE Compact C8-like the turbonozzle.With the complete pack-now you need the salesman to demo it!I like the older Compacts over the newer design TriStars.Was an electric powernozzle available for this machine?Like the METAL floor shoe on the turbonozzle with the machine.Much better than the plastic shoes. | ||

Thanx Rex
I would love to have a demo of this machine I'm sure it was awesome .
This machine does not have a PN outlet I guess it was on newer models and yes the metal sole plate on the turbo brush is nice but there are no wheels I am not sure how that would work as I will never use this its a NIB keeper 😝 I too love these older designs over the new ones but I do also love the new style as you know I love every thing that's new .

Look, I know you & I have our issues, & we just don't get along, never have liked each other. Never will, we have our reasons for it, & that's fine.
However, here's what to do about all those haters & frenemies you have out there: Tell them to stuff it! Don't let them hate on you & bring you down. Especially those that have never met or talked to you in person, & judge you for having a opinion online & saying how you really feel. Then, pull your head up a little bit higher than it was before, go forward & move on, & ignore the judgmental scum & think to yourself "I am so much better than them!" Ya know what, ever since joining the collecting community a few years ago, one thing is for certain: It never ceases to amaze me how many snotty, judgmental, backstabbing, prissy gay drama queens there are in the collecting world! Truly DISGUSTING if you ask me! It sickens me to no end how much we judge others for being online & having an opinion & standing by it....You should be able to say how you feel & still be able to get some respect & keep some decent friends! Like, hey, last time I checked, this is NOT a communist state! And just remember one little thing....if you're religious, when you die, it's YOU that has to answer to God when you meet your maker on the other side for every good & bad thing you did in this life. Don't let them live your life for you & lead life on your own terms. Your REAL FRIENDS will stand by you to the end. You can never please anyone, no matter how hard you try, all you can do is move forward every day & be the best person you know how to be. I learned all this stuff the hard way years ago, & ya know what? I'm glad I learned not to let it affect me so much today. Lord knows I don't want these people bringing me down. If I have only 1 shot at life, then I am living my life the way I want to, so that I can look at myself in the mirror & be happy with myself & what I see staring back at me. And for all my enemies, frenemies & haters here on Vacuumland that see this post & don't like it: Go yourself! Rob | ||

Thanx for that but one thing NOBODY can or ever will bring me down instead I find it rather hilarious yet sad and understand how people work .
I have a wonderful group of friends who I love dearly and the feeling is mutual I have been blessed many times over and appreciate my life and my friends . This is the first time this has happened to me And it is because those who have never met me have no idea who I am . I thought this site was to share our passion of collecting yet there are those who say I am a "bragger" because I am sharing my extensive collection with fellow collectors. I feel bad for people who must hate someone for unknown reasons but know there are issues deep down that I pray they find happiness and replace hate with love . Dan | ||

It is very odd that these Compacts I have do not have a PN outlet I wonder why they did this ?
Thanks for the compliments I have been very lucky to have so many brand new vacuums plus a lot of them being vintage NIB vacuums . Hope you get your KIRBY soon I am getting both of mine on the 19th my guy ordered extra Sentria II's because he sells a lot to his female customers they see that bag and all comment that it looks like a designer pocketbook Gucci or Coach is what many say it reminds them of . He's disappointed in the Avalir colors says his female customers won't like it because it's a masculine color (black) . Dan | ||

Another KIRBY factory refurb
My great Uncle Bill x Kirby sales man now owner of a prestigious Pennsylvania beauty salon
had these rebuilt in 1994 and they sat in his salon storage room because I turned them on to Orecks they prefer them because they are light and they can vacuum the granite floors easier than a Kirby . This is a Kirby Classic Omega such a great Kirby of yesteryear . Dan This post was last edited 02/13/2015 at 22:17 | ||

And the beat goes on..
.
Dan i want to turn things around a bit and ask you what is *not* in your collection and why. For instance, i have around 150 vacs but only one is an Electrolux canister. I do not have any vac pre 1960's. I have only one pre G-series Kirby. I do not have any hand vacs or shop vacs. That said i have a number of metal Royal uprights a common vacuum which i don't recall seeing in your collection. You have a load of Hoovers but it seems none of some common models. What did you once have but moved on from (besides Miele and Sebo?) And what vacuum do you regret most not snapping up when you had the chance? I'm gonna guess your preference for new vacuums probably plays a big role in there being fewer really old models, but i'msure there is more to the tale.. | ||

I have many Royal vacuums including the Powercast and the other metal royals heck they are KIRBY cousins so you know I'd own them 😁 I reposted a few of my Royals for you .
No regrets because I am blessed with being able to own all vacuums I could dream of the only machines I want are all brand new machines not even made or thought of yet . I am disappointed with Miele and Sebo I may try a Felix just not in any rush to get one yet . Dan | ||

Dan,
.
what is your take on the Powercast? I realized i wanted one when they were being closed out but i was just too late too the party to get a new one. I have yet to come across a used one outside of the rare Ebay appearance, and even there i have yet to see a two motor model which is what i would prefer. Your commercial/Everlast machines are gloriously factory fresh looking. As incredibly long lasting and hard working as these machines are they often appear shabby for it. Not yours! But then again, i'm not surprised.. And kuddos for breaking with the pack and embracing Dirt Devil. That doesn't mean i am a fan of the brand, i do have a Cruiser model though, but rather i appreciate the pioneering spirit. Finally, thx again for spending the time taking and uploading the pics and answering questions. I have noticed some don't respond to my questions on their threads for whatever reason, but you always do, i appreciate it. I feel i have under-shared my collection but time is tight with a 3 and 5 year old. Adios for now.. | ||

I LOVE the Powercast it cleans really well plus it takes DD type C bags .
It's heavy for the normal person but not for me an xlinebacker 💪 I hear Ya on the comments stuff there are many on this site that ignore questions I think that's wrong and I know some probably don't have an answer but they should at least say I don't know . Myself being the nastiest and meanest member on here (according to "others" who mean nothing to me ) I will always respond because this is the "real Dan" a kind and respectful and knowleable member of VL . I really appreciate the questions and the compliments I LOVE them plus my collection . I enjoy posting my collection I am proud of it and enjoy sharing with my friends on VL . I do not discriminate against other brands I appreciate all brands I even own those I don't like and NEVER bash other brands as "some" do . This is called "Vacuum Land " not one brand land !!! I would love to see your collection once you get time I can tell you thank God for my iPhone 6 plus I can snap pictures quickly and post when I have time between appointments ect . Dan | ||

Another KIRBY
This is for my friend Rex 😝
It's a Dual Sanitronic 80 another vacuum from my Great Uncle that he had rebuilt then stored away at his Salon because I gave him Orecks to use instead . This is a KIRBY factory refurb . Dan | ||

Rex I thought you'd
Say that ...
they are only puke Green when faded and old this has been in the box since rebuilt by the KIRBY factory since 1994 so it stayed brand new and unfaded . I love the Powercast Royals I think they are great machines that clean really well . I never fill vacuum bags I just don't have much dirt in my bags I guess that's because I always remove my shoes at the door and walk around in socks only . Come to think about it I do have my own museum especially with all the brands I own and 90% at least are brand new but all are 100% mint condition .

Rex
The only place I get to fill my vacuum bags are at my Ocean Front condo that's because of the sand I remove my shoes there but walk on the beach and come into the place and sand is stuck to you everywhere . I rinse off at the rinse stations but sand is every where . At my house I just get dust and little bit of dirt .
I don't have nor want a pile lifter I have no need for that as my KIRBYS do that job and I don't have any deep down dirt to remove again because of my KIRBYS and other high end D2D vacuums I use . I can see in commercial use the bags filling up because the Powercast is very powerful plus the center suction hose helps . Dan | ||

Kirbysthebest - if you don't think they like the Powercast, there's nothing wrong with asking them if they'd like to trade it for something else that they'd like better. It sounds like the Powercast isn't a good fit for them. It would actually be considerate of you to offer to replace it with something they like better. | ||

I am going off topic here
With everything happening in our county we all got a good laugh at the emergency shelter from VL with all the rude & snide comments being thrown about on this sight & all people want in this shelter is to be able to have electricity & go back home ... even have a home after being destroyed by fallen trees ...5 days & counting without power & more snow on the way .... Be thankful for what you truly have!

The long awaited KIRBY Avalir's yet another version in the Generation series .
It is a handsome machine and I am happy with my purchases I especially love the new floor care kit it should be interesting to use . I am always my KIRBY guys first customer to each new KIRBY that comes out I love that it makes me feel even more special than I already am . I couldn't just buy one 😜 that wouldn't be any fun ...

Have to call my Kirby guy to see when we can arrange an appointment to have mine delivored.The bad weather here and in Raleigh have stalled the efforts.The Kirby fellow says mine is going to be the first one he has delivored in this area.Will have to ask him how many he has sold in Raleigh. | ||

Dan: Don't let the haters get you down. You have a fantastic collection. And you are a really good person, always enjoy talking to you on the phone. Glad to know your doors are all open (we know what lurks behind the closed ones). I'll have to get my claw hammer and come visit you (ha ha). John Gregory is a very nice man, glad you are his friend. Keep up the great work with the vacuums - and use that "glorified sawmill". Maybe in 2019 (which is Kirby's REAL 100th anniversary), you can take that boat anchor out of the box and enjoy it. You know I love ya man. Keep the great posts coming.

One day many years from now a future collector will thank me because of all of the NIB vacuums I have been able to preserve .
Without someone like myself there will not be any NIB vintage vacuums for someone to enjoy , I am already thinking about someone I have never met and they probably hasn't even been born yet . I am insuring the future collectors happiness and if they chose to open and use my NIB vacuums that's their business . Dan This post was last edited 02/28/2015 at 07:55 | ||

Dan..
.
NIB appreciation is probably the best thing i have learned from you. IMO, If done right you actually you will end up hoarding fewer vacuums not more. That said, if you have the space, hoarding vacuums mostly keeps them from land fills and is a harmless joy if that is your thing. Dan, your entire NIB collection probably costs much less than one TOL Harley or mid line Hyundai. It is hardly an outsized sum of money for one person to spend in the scheme of things. Shoot, might as well go down to Starbucks and start shouting at the customers. That said you seem to be involved in various feuds here, of which i know nothing about other than a lot of snarky comments are bandied about, by both sides.. I haven't lost any sleep over it myself. | ||

Robert
You are so right and over the years it doesn't cost much at all .
They are easier to store and take up a small amount of space plus they hide easilly ;) Everyone treats their collections as they feel fit I am into brand new in box vacuums vintage and new . When I was young I picked vacuum from the trash and almost everyone of those were like brand new and very clean . Today with my OCD and the way vacuums are so filthy and disease and bugs lurking in them I leave those for others but mainly they go to the landfill . I don't care about all the snarky comments and talking behind my back you know what they say they are behind you for a reason . I have only the best of friends I chat with through vacuum land you included as I associate with kind caring people we all appreciate our friendship and that's what life is all about . God has blessed me and I am truly grateful heck I am not even a church goer and I know God is here for me I close my eyes at night knowing I have lived an amazing life and treated everyone with the utmost respect and kindness .

Yes that is so correct
After slipping down the front steps of my home for the ice I fell on my knish but didn't hurt my matza balls someone from on here has sent a care package not because of the fall because they wanted to!! I can wait till it gets here the ice everywhere except for the lakes has finally started to melt & the power is finally starting to come back online!!!

Ohhhhhh
I remember that one...the hellions on the street behind us had that as a spare they also had a DS80. 5 kids, natural born slobs had to vacuum 3 times a day. She bought one of the first Traditions with the headlight switch, if I had known about the NSS Pig I would have suggested it to her as it would have fit in with that family just fine!! 😁

Good that you grabbed an Air Rider when they were still available.Would be neat to see one work!Pretty sunrise-Had to go thru time change at the transmitter site-at 7:00A DST-was still DARK outside!Didn't get fully light until after 7:30A.Like to see the sunrise thru the antennas! | ||

My amazing friend John Gregory of sweeper central strikes
Again I arrive home and sitting on my front porch is a newly released Hoover air cordless Windtunnel BH52120 TOL .
I explained how I was disapointed with my Eurekalux Ergorapido I use at my Ocean Front condo and John Gregory sent me this Hoovers newest cordless vacuum as a gift from my great friend . I will try this later tonight when I get to my condo but I am so excited it even has a motorized upholstery tool that attaches to the removable hand vacuum . I have the Cordless Air full size upright now this is added to my collection . Dan | ||

Wow I am totally
Blown away by the power of my brand new gift from my awesome friend John Gregory of Sweeper Central .
Years ago he sent me the Hoover Lynx cordless and I always thought that was a great cordless well this new cordless air is 100% better this vacuum is a true deep cleaner and the suction/air flow are incredible for a cordless vacuum . I have yet to try my full size cordless air that John Gregory gifted me earlier the past year but I am sure it's just as amazing as this cordless air is . This new cordless air could literally be an only vacuum to use daily without the need for an electric full sized vacuum . Hoover has some really great vacuums lately I can't wait to see all the new stuff the have coming out very soon . Dan This post was last edited 03/12/2015 at 21:35 | ||

I love my Vax Cordless Air. So easy and so much more convienient to use. The only thing I don't like about it is that suction through the hose is lousy, plus it is pretty like the original "mains corded" desigm of the Vax Mach Air; uselessly short hose on boatd, even thougn obviously the mains power provides strong suction.
As you can see from my photo, despite the Cordless Air having a naturally known slim profile, the fixed handle puts it in the shade versus "modern" bagged cylinder vacs that still have a one up on the Vax/TTI design. I'm still mystified as to why TTI have not added a telescopic/height adjustable handle. It would make more sense for those required to put this vacuum away in tight storage areas.

Here's the Vax video of it in terms of general maintenance for the Vax Cordless Air "Switch". Price wise in the UK, they don't cost that much more than the Cordless Air. I can see they're a good second alternative if anyone miss the slip out hand held dust buster. Reminds me a little of the old Dirt Devil "HooverEurope Freejet" mk1 design in many ways. Possibly why TTI have released it to revisit old range timelines, not just using the same batteries. Pity the handle isn't folding and requires a screw to insert; the main difference to the "full size" Cordless Air is that the handle just locks in an instant and there's no screws. | ||

I hope they do. The Dyson V6 Absolute has a HEPA filter. But only a 2 year warranty so if the battery loses it's effectiveness you will have to buy a new battery. | ||

A mobile phone compared to a cordless upright? No, you can't base your experience on that sadly! Mobile phones can use a lot more power in general than a second back up cleaning device in the home; not least for the fact that even one blinking "charge me!" bar lit bar left on the Vax battery, I can still get around the whole of my home before it just cuts out.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one Nar. I hope the batteries will not lose their effectiveness and last for the 6 year warranty period but I very much doubt it. | ||

You can shed as much opinion as you want, Marcus but its about as useful as a fart in a bag.
You don't own the vacuum, so its impossible to be subjective on how long or short the battery will last. Like ALL vacuums, regardless of whether they are mains powered or cordless, life expectancy will be determined by usage and general handling. Cost effectively without the usage of actually powering up a vacuum cleaner in the first place, the Cordless Air is a better alternative in my ownership experience than the humble Gtech cordless sweepers! And yes I did have a Gtech sweeper. The neighbour now has it; it gets used twice a week, uses an older 7.2V battery and it is 3 years old. There are no signs of it running out and the Lithium batteries that now replace these older Ni-Cds are proven to last longer. | ||

John Gregory
Hey Dan:
Love your new Hoover Cordless. I have the original Hoover Air Cordless and can't be happier with it. I love to use it in-between uses of my 75th Anniversary Rainbow. John Gregory is an awesome guy. Glad he sent you a new machine. John is always a hoot to talk to. We talk for hours, he tells me all the dirt on the gurls. The ringleader is definitely not a well woman. I'll have to call John and order the new Cordless. I love your collection. | ||

I forgot to mention, one other thing to watch, if you haven't found out already, Dan is the open sole plate. There are no carpet grid bars on the Cordless Air upright, so the edges of rugs and mats are suscpetible to be sucked up and into the brush bar, thus cutting it out. Had TTI actually added carpet grid bars, I fear this wouldn't have been a problem, but then they'd have to counteract the suction-down force on hard floors if the brush roll is switched off.

Marcus, Check previous thread www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-...
It isn't a model that Im keen on. NOT only because it copies SEBO but the excuse that it apparently took Hoover "several years" to come up with something "new" that clearly wasn't. Despite what Dan may say, only a few online reviews for the Hoover Insight/Profile exist and most reveal the models aren't that well built compared to SEBO. Also check www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-... which gives photos. | ||

No i doubt they are as well built as Sebo. Performance wise i can't comment but it is clearly a Sebo copy which is a bit naughty. But it wouldn't be the first time a design has been copied. | ||

Btw the Hoover Insight has a Bronze award by the CRI which is the same as the Sebo X series so it seems it has the same performance but the Sebo has better build quality and a longer warranty. | ||

Well you can see how "'good" the plastic quality is on the Profile's side profile.
Bear in mind Marcus, warranties differ per country and for the commercial market you're lucky if you get 1 or 2 years.

That's good Mark
But as I said before that's my God given right and that's my personal opinion .
I guess I can say I like the G1 but the Automatic version is the one I can say I detest I have yet to buy a Felix but I hear they are better than all Sebos 😁 NOTHING out cleans my true LOVE the KIRBY well maybe another love of mine the Tacony tandem air vacuums ❤️ Dan | ||

Dan, Goblin models or rather, Morphy Richards who took over the brand offer plasticky vacuums, not high end, but rather more for the low market budget niches. The vacs that are not made in Germany are more plentiful but still rare now in 2015. MR's models made in Germany are better, but it's a real pity that the Goblin company who first supplied vacuums historically, have been made to go under. I hear on the grapevine that MR are thinking of pulling out of the market altogether...

It's not just Tacony who need to consider Europe, but rather a lot of the Electrolux companies that we don't get either; Sanitaire (only one model came to the UK a few years ago which got most UK collectors interested) and Aerus would be great.
Or even a brand new Royal upright; not something I'm prepared to pay at commercial vacuuming prices and not a second hand one that has been used in a hotel to pick up after mucky people. MR also brought in Shark uprights only a few years ago. Before that we have only been able to buy Kirby or Oreck. Im thankful that Black & Decker products are still available to buy here, though. | ||

I think those companies
Don't sell in Europe because everyone seems to be stuck on Miele , Sebo and Dyson and European homes are smaller and the carpet is low pile with no padding or mainly bare floors as in the US we have large homes thick padded carpet .
We could never get away with straight suction canisters here they would never clean our carpets . Dan | ||

Europe is also obsessed cylinder machines. I have never understood this as a cylinder takes up more space to store than a upright. Especially today with modern uprights incorporating all the hoses and attachments. With a cylinder you have to find space to store the hose pipes and floor tool aswell as the vacuum.

"With a cylinder you have to find space to store the hose pipes and floor tool aswell as the vacuum."
Maybe on a round tub where storage is not possible. As for sledge style vacs, not quite. A lot of cylinder vacs are able to store hose or tools on board. All in one with only a side profile that means excess hose emerging. Not all that different to storing uprights in my experience. The "reason" that most of Europe is obsessed with cylinder vacs is the environment. Mostly all countries bar those in the snow and the UK have lighter weather all year around. Flooring is also mostly hard floors as a result. The UK tends to be damper, colder and thus carpets are in homes. Naturally we're a nation of upright vac buyers, which is one reason alone to why Hoover Europe cater for the UK with more uprights than cylinders. | ||
