    Hi Chris,

    Can’t be, its on a hot water supply. I had been running hot water before putting it on, the kitchen is nice and warm as well, haven’t turned the heating off for days!

    Took ages to clear the ice off the drive and garden path, its frozen solid, nearly got stuck in Halifax last Tuesday! Great Yorkshire weather!

    Its just completing a Normal 65oC as I type this and all is well, its working properly and hasn’t stopped or started to click.

    So I am baffled to what caused this but am really glad it is working again!

    Cheers Paul,

    Oliver.

    Hi Paul,

    It has just started working again for no reason. It must be an intermittant fault.

    By the way its other details are, sorry should have put them in my original post.

    Thank you very much for the reply, I will reopen this thread if it goes wrong again.

    Thanks once again,

    Oliver.

    I have just read this thread with great interest.

    Temperature range my 3 year old White Knight 84AW A Class is 2 – 25 degrees centigrade.

    It used to be in a bedroom where you could see your breath, but I guess it didn’t get below 2 degrees and had no problems, but I too did not even think driers had a temperature range. It has moved house since and is in a nice warm bedroom now, but performs exactly the same.

    Also in a garage it might get too hot in summer as well as too cold in winter.

    Re: Sebo – Upright or Cylinder?

    Hi Gary,

    There is no real need to buy commercial for normal domestic use. I can get them cheaper as I am in the trade, thats why I have commercial. As far as I know commercial ones do not have a 5 year warranty.

    The domestic ones even come with a 12 month commercial warranty. Says how well they are built.

    I usually recommend the upright models: Automatic X1.1 and X4 and they are superbly engineered machines and built to last.

    Hi,

    The upright machines are the best IMHO. Uprights clean carpets far better, unless you buy the cylinder with a motorised brush bar. The upright Sebo’s clean carpets an hard floors properly, so it is down to personal prefernce at the end of the day.

    The best vacuums available by along way. They are far far better than Dyson.

    HTH,

    Oliver.

    Re: Solid wood floor steamer

    Hi,

    I too can confirm Polti are the best, have one myself. Other models may over wet floors etc. and not be of very good quality. Some have no pressure and die of very quickly un like the Polti.

    Yes, correct forum!

    They are usually fairly obvious how to strip down, there should be screws underneath, or around the motor/tank housing (if Torx screws an old electrical screwdriver can sometimes work). Remove them and follow the clean water pipework back to the tank. The delivery nozzles underneath may be full of congealled detergent, a poke about with a tooth pick may help. All with the plug pulled of course! 8)

    Failling that, taking it to your local vacuum repair shop may be the best idea I’m afraid, they shouldn’t be too expensive either! 😕

    Could have blocked pipe work from the tank to the delivery nozzles underneath. Limescale and old detergent residue are favorites. If this model has a pump (if not it will use gravity to get the solution onto the carpet) make sure it has not failled, I have seen more than one Vax with a seized pump.

    Please un-plug if stripping down!:plug:

    Re: Been given a Hoover Electronic 1100 they any good?

    They were good machines!

    Rinsed really well too, if my memory serves me correctly they did 3 rinses (might have been 4) half way up the door and a dilution rinse on hot programmes too.

    A neighbour of mine had one and got bored of it a couple of years ago and scrapped it for a Tricity Bendix. You don’t want to meet the neighbour! :rolls:

    I really liked the old Hoover machines, particullaly the Electrons , they were built properly compared to the rubbish modern Hoover (Candy) are knocking out.

    Re: Dyson Hoover Advice

    Hi Charlotte,

    I am really sorry if you do not want to hear this but…………….

    When new Dysons work fairly well, but give them between 2-4 months in the average house, the cyclones accumulate fine dust, which detracts from its efficiency and losing suction, but as this is a gradual process, you won’t notice. Also life time? filters clog even when washed, there is no better option than disposable. The only way to sort out this is to replace the filters and cyclone unit which is alot more expensive than buying bags.

    The only Dysons that were good was the DC01 and DC02, as they were simple and you replaced the filters.

    From the DC03 onwards the performace declined some what.

    People think Dysons pick up alot as they areate (sp) the dirt in the cylinder making it look more. If you pick up a full cylinders worth of dirt with a bagged vacuum, it will less than half fill the bag, assuming the bag is 4 litres like the average Dysons capacity.

    HTH,
