They literally are fantastic vacuum cleaners.

Pah, get a Henry and be done with it! A saving of £910 and a very good vacuum cleaner!¬

Pick up dirt

as long as a hoover picks up dirt, go for a cheaper one, no offence, but some have more money than scence

I was wondering where this azthma (spelling

) came from

for a hoover? what a joke

iirc, you can only by a kirby from a door to door rep who will come and demo it to you in your own house

they are very pushy salesman that dont take no for an answer.

£995 is a bit OTT if you ask me. A £200 Miele might have been a better buy.

Probably the worst vacuum-cleaners I've come across have to be Dyson's (this is in comparison to our £125 10-year old Miele). I always find them to be totally useless, their attachments are pretty poor, awful suction, look ugly as anything and command a premium for being 'trendy'. Clever marketing from the original designer, fools pretty much everyone into thinking they're the best type of vacuum-cleaner you can get.

If a hoover does a suck job, what does a leafblower do?

A.N.Other · 24 Jul 2008 at 15:15

According to the website, that model comes with LED headlights to brighten "even the darkest corners" and requires only a "featherlike touch" to push due to the self-drive.

o.O

Clearly worth the money :/

meh. Granted VC don't seem to last very long, usually down to use ie plastic clips breaking. But £1K? Got a Vax and that cost £65, had it about 2 years.

Similar to Bryston poweramp, yep it's got 25 years warranty but by that time I'd probably just buy a new one.
