Suck it up

Tidied up a little due to the actions of a SPAMMER.

That was not spamming when saying a vacuum cleaner sucks, it wouldn't be much of vacuum cleaner if it didn't!!
Sometimes you go overboard Jim but then you are the boss!!

Keep yer knickers on, Reece... it was someone earlier on trying to flog snow blowers

.... I thought that was a bit odd at the time

Eichhörnchen · 08-18-18, 09:02 AM

ANYWAY.... my sister-in-law showed me her rechargeable Dyson last weekend (like the one in Aktung's post) and she says she can do the whole house with it in 20 minutes on just one charge. I think I'll get one of those.

STEED's place would probably require something with a bit more stamina

I use the Milwaukee 0882-20 M18 18V Cordless Lithium-Ion Compact Vacuum because it uses the same battery as my other power tools. My wife liked it so much that she made me get a second one to keep at the house.

I don't think we'd find that at our local 'B&Q'

Yeah Milwaukee is a popular brand in the US. No telling what strange equipment you foreigners use!

Jeff-Groves · 09-15-19, 02:29 PM

Milwaukee is OK for a bottom of the line tool.
I use the Porter Cable cordless 2 gallon Wet/Dry vac myself.

Check out the Shark models. Very good and a lot less than Dyson.

How can you tell if a person has a Dyson?

Just wait, they will show you.

Catfish · 04-16-20, 08:43 AM

^ lol

Well i bought a Dyson, too, the normal, plug and cable thing. While it sucks as good as any other vacum cleaner and does not need those bags (which was the reason i got it), i think the quality also sucks, especially for that price.

All plastic tubes and connectors will wear out soon, making the whole contraption very rickety, also the fixings for additional tools begin to fall off.

Opening the dirt container over a dustbin during anything but still air will cover all the surroundings including you with the contents. Every half a year you really have to dismantle the thing down to those tiny torx screws to get out cat hairs and all kinds of other stuff sticking in the corners and edges.

Ah, and the first motor just burned out after a quarter of a year - got a free repair and all that but really .. not again.

I admit it looks very professional for a vacuum cleaner, like you need a pilot's license for it, and Mr Wormold would have been proud to show this to MI6.
