It wasn't a Panasonic by chance? I've got one that sucks like the Dickens (1750 Watts) but has to be thoroughly cleaned after every use, otherwise the suction bypass kicks in with a resultant reduction in lots of that suction. I should really bin it. I was never sure if mine was bust or whether the design was carp. I suspected the latter. -
Don't forget the spherical Hoover Constellation. A truly space-aged beast that floated on a cushion of air, exactly capturing the Zeitgeist (!) of the 1960s era of space exploration.Originally posted by zeitghostThe only professional cleanin lady I've ever seen with a dyson was on that "How Clean is your House" prog, where the blonde one with the bun more or less said it was much the same as the old hoover they were comparing it with... and 3 times the price.
Hoover Junior must have been one of the best ever designed... built like a brick tuliphouse & lasts(ed) for ever.
No wonder they stopped making them.
We had one when I was a kid, and it was a bugger. We has a long sloping passage and when Hoovering 'downhill', the Constellation would catch you up and knock you over if you didn't keep an eye out for it.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
