why, oh why, does there seem to be a lack of power nozzles available in Europe and surrounding countries?! If any appreciable percentage of a country's population has carpet, why is it like pulling teeth to get manufacturers to offer motorized brush rolls? I LOVE hearing these stories, but they drive me nuts because the consumers aren't being offered the best tools available.
To me, it would be like living in Finland with three feet of snow on the ground and some real go-getter discovers that four wheel drive works better than rear wheel drive but few dealerships actually offer them. Bill |

"why, oh why, does there seem to be a lack of power nozzles available in Europe and surrounding countries?! "
Because largely there is NO need for them. Most of Europe has homes with hard floors instead of carpets. Not all countries do, but the majority do. Have a interesting read at the link supplied. It doesn't answer everything about Finland but it provides some insight in how things appear. Also Scandinavia in general can be termed as being cold etc but they're well known for flat pack furniture and flooring (IKEA, Hello!). CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK |

Ive always loved vacs,for nearly all my life,some of my earliest vac memories was receiving the bags for our Swan bagged cylinder,it was a massive silver and red thing that we got from Index(when it existed). I loved all vacs,then i took a shine to Numatics in particular,I would spend hours finding out about Henry and his mates,I pestered my mum for a Henry and she said,"you can get one but your paying for it."So thats what I did,I saved up from birthdays and holidays for ages,then I got one from Very,I stil have him today,my 2011 Henry HVR200A,I then got a Dyson DC02 from my British Heart Foundation for free as it was broken (failed pat test,had no wands/floor tool and it was cracked and faded)it was destined for the bins,I got the DC02 and put heart and soul in to getting it fixed and cleaned.Then it spiraled,I had Sebos,Electroluxes,Hoovers,Vaxes and the list goes on,I have had over 30,most of which have been refurbished and sold to help fund my other hobby,gaming.Sorry for this essay.
