Well the catch on the bins have been appearing for the last 5 years, Hi - Lo, maybe it is new at Hoover for the Jazz - but it was also a feature on the 2008 Hoover Slalom, a model I owned and sold and only recently bought again a couple of months ago.
The AirVolution filters on the Slalom block up quickly after about a month OR 2 to 3 months but it very much depends on the kind of dust and dirt you pick up with it. Even with a button release on the door at the bottom when dust gets stuck at the top no matter how much banging the Hoover dust bin off the sides doesn't dislodge, the whole process and point of HEPA filters etc get thrown out the window - as soon as the dust gets airborne - the filters won't save you then. Also my Slalom has a problem just like the original had where the bin door doesn't actually open with the button release and has to be manually prised open to get it swing outwards. |

Oh dear no surprise...
I was playing about with my Hoover Slalom earlier this morning and discovered more cat hair on the curtains. The speed of the Slalom's mini turbo brush is dreadfully slow though. I checked the filter and found it wasn't that clogged up since its last clean a month ago. However, for all that this piece of junk is smooth and made out of easy flow plastics, it does have a handy slider on the underside for cleaning- but seems to leak a lot of air as a result. Jammed on a Wilco Electrolux mini pet hair tool and OMG the difference immediately - much, much faster but at the detriment of having to unscrew two screws on the underside should it get clogged if the hair can't be picked out at the front. Other surprises - the extension hose that I bought for my old orange Vax Mach Air clips easily to the clip ring of the Slalom's stretch hose after removing the lancer handle, giving me nearly 6 metres of stretch and being able to use decent universal 32mm tools without the nonsense of Hoover's restrictive ones. Cue Vax's cleaning kit type 1! |

Probably Chris, but I was referring to the Hoover brand and associated models in that post. Infact when I think about it, the first model from Hoover that featured a bottom trapdoor release button that I owned was a Hoover Alyx upright, (the original model based on the Dirt Devil Vibe from the U.S) SIX years ago. It was a short lived vacuum that my aunt was given for her carpeted caravan which seemed to do well there (ASDA"s Genie exclusive was also the first model based on the Hoover Alyx/DD Vibe thereafter).
