Hello all, it's that time again, the new Argos catalogue is out. As usual I had a nosey at the appliances, nothing really jumped out, apart from these. Vax and Hoover both have new cordless vacs. Very Dyson esq, I doubt they're multi cyclonic and that they're any good. | ||

Fact is, people who want the "look" but don't want to pay the price will go for one of these, as will potentially anyone who was disappointed with their Dyson hand-held. As Sebo fan suggests, the noise is a factor. Dyson never seem troubled about noise. | ||

Imitation is nothing new. There are imitations, duplicates, even fakes. Most of uscan spot a fake from miles away.
Yrs ago, how many Hoovers were copied? Eurekas? Lux? Plenty. I never owned a Dyson, so, I cannot speak much about them. I'd certainly not bash. I've had to run other makes, over the years... some, of course better than others. Never had a Shark. I know some, evenworked w/ some. To me, they belonged in the ocean.
I'm NOT bashing Shark vacs. just to be clear.

I got to try the new Dyson V8 at John Lewis Department Store the other week and they seem to have listened to its customers from previous versions! The motor sounds quieter and smoother in operation. No high pitch noise! They do seem to have started to make some of its products quieter like the Air Multiplier Fans latest generation ones are apparently quieter!

The V8 is very quiet it surprised me didn't expect it to be. I also noticed the power in the motorised head as I was using it which I wasn't expecting! Was impressed by the new overall design and new bin emptying mechanism too on the V8. I have said this before as a little prediction of my own I do believe as Dyson pushes their boundaries of battery technology and run time and performance of it cordless vacuum range they will replace Dyson's corded range in the future as their main lineup. The whole Dyson range will be cordless I think in years to come maybe sooner than we think!
I also see the Hoover have that similar cordless vacuum to this VAX in Argos as Sebo_fan posted above. The new micro Henry I see is more than the standard model! Be interesting to see how these VAX (and Hoover) cordless versions do especially as price point will be the biggest difference for buyers! | ||

@blakaeg
How did the wand "come away?" I've put all my Dyson cordless vacuums through heavy use (I've owned every generation, and sold and upgraded to each new version). I've never had any issue with the wands cracking at either end on any of my machines. Now, the build quality in certain areas is surprising light, (for instance, the big brushbar on the motorhead version is nearly weightless when you remove it), but I've never had any issues with wands or any parts of my cordless Dysons cracking. If you had something defective, Dyson would take care of it no problem under the 2 year warranty.

The important part that both of these new cordless machines are avoiding explaining in their marketing, is the bagless filtration system. Neither mention the filtration setup. Not a good sign, unless they're fearing patent-related lawsuits. I'd hope they're at least dual-cyclonic, otherwise they'll be high-maintenance. The 15 cyclones on the Dyson V6 do a remarkable job of keeping the filters spotless.

Sadly, they're all a bunch of
knockoffs. Imitation CAN be a great form of a compliment, this , we know.
But, then, there's just plain old 'fake'. As I said, I can spot a fake from miles away. I'm sure most can. My cousin's son recently got married. His 'bride' registered for a Shark...... well, she got a Reed and Barton silver bowl from me. I'd die before I'd purchase one. This Dyson look alike...well... they're just slapping that Hoover logo on anything. We know this. | ||

I see today in the pamphlet that the Vax cleaners are "on sale" for £149. Who knew? | ||

An update, I gave it another go on some hard flooring in our store. It picked up dust but that's about it. As soon as I stopped, stones fell out of the floorhead. Not good. The Dyson fluffy picked it up well though | ||

For the millionth time....
Hoover in Australia is used under licence by Godfreys - they source from TTI, Candy, and their own products. Hoover is only used on floor care/air care and not on major appliances here.
The Hoover and vax models have digital motors - the Vax was on display at our work's expo 2 weeks ago and considering it will be $199 retail (Dyson DC45 is $399 retail) it's a pretty decent piece of kit for the price, the suction was in-between min and max on the Dyson, but runs for 20 minutes +\-. Have a look at the stick products coming out in Aus at the moment: www.godfreys.com.au... The hoover stuff is decent, but in line with pricing. TTI has pulled the vax air products, and they are being re-launched through Godfrey's as Hoover branded instead, I think a lack of marketing meant that Vax just couldn't pull the numbers! We pay a really fair price for the Sauber (lux vacuums) and the Vorwerk too! | ||

Nar, our local Vax sales manager showed me the Vax and they are exactly the same machine. The Vax has an upgraded floorhead and an upgraded battery based on Ryobi. I would not be surprised if Hoover Europe has a deal with TTI. They are not digital motors, they get very warm, unlike the Dyson | ||
