what can I say, we go through hoovers in our house like hot dinners.
Dysons, LGs, and now Vaxs... all bit the dust.
We have 1 dog (springer) and 2 small boys, and live in a small 3 bed semi, nothing TOO "industrial" here. Yes Mrs Kityuser hoovers everyday.......
Dysons, not loosing suction my butt!...... not going to waste another penny there......
We got an LG, 2KW of suction power and it was superb until the motor burnt out almost exactly a year (to the day) of purchase, we convinced comet to give us another one (updated model), but this time it was only 1/2 as good as the origonal machine and eventually would'nt pick up.
So a few weeks ago we bought a vax from argos, 1/2 price and especially targeted at homes with pets (hema filter - an all).
It picks up LOVELY, but too much dust gets through the cyclone unit to the pre-motor filters (which clog).
It started out that we needed to clean the filters every other day (wash and dry in the airing cupboard). Today, with clean filters its lasted 5 mins before the red light has come on and you can hear internally its gone into "bypass" where a flap opens and the motor draws air through from a port other than the cleaning inlet.
We have noticed that it picks up FAR more than any other vacuum clean we have ever had (on full power you can hardly push it across the floor it suck so well!), but REALLY fine stuff seems to get through the cyclone into the filters. We have tried reducing the power, but this just perlongs the problem and you end up getting maybe 10 minutes of cleaning rather than 5...... not good
I've had enough, obviously we'll get some sort of replacement, probably fine again for a few weeks..... then just more agro..
ticked off
