Re: Dyson Hoover Advice
The difference is a small turbo brush. The animal model will have HEPA filters, but so have some no-animal ones.
If there are allergy sufferers may I recommend Sebo, cleaner to empty, hospital standard S-class filtration, they also pick up the allergen properly from carpetting and finally it will last a good number of years.
Out of all the vacuums I have come across Dyson are some of the worst. The absolute best is Sebo.HTH,

Re: Which Vacuum Cleaner?
Might be using it without a bag. I know alot of people used to do this, but the instructions do advise against it. I know a cleaning co. with hundreds of the things and all used with no bag. The performance is very bad, very quick suction loss. I use mine with a bag though!

A world of Dyson in Brighouse, Halifax, Huddersfield and Bradford!
I bet you see more Dysons than anything else! :rolls:
I often get asked why carpets get dirty and the type of vacuum plays a big part, customers do not like to hear me telling them its their Dyson, makes you wonder why they ask when they don’t like the answer. 😕 .
Henrys are excellent also, the one at your Gym Madrat must be blocked or permanantly used on the low power setting! We also have a Henry for the mucky jobs etc. and it sucks brilliantly.

I know what you mean, I bet 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of houses I go to have a Dyson, the other 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} usually have some piece of Chinese junk or Hoover /Electrolux. Very few have bagged vacuums anymore. I have never come across a house with a Sebo (what I recommend) although I do see the occasional Henry.
Sadly Dyson must have the mass market share. 😥
Perhaps time for you to buy a Henry to clean the driers!!! 😈Oliver.

Yeah seems like a plan! 😉
Besides you are Happy with Dyson, me with Sebo, after all if it does what we want, then were both happy all round 😀

Re: Which Vacuum Cleaner?
Madrat,
I don’t really like bagless, but I can confirm out of all of them Dyson are the best. Still no match to bagged though.

Re: Which Vacuum Cleaner?
Considering alot of Hoover Juniors and Seniors are still working now from 30 odd years ago is 8 years really that good? 😉
I still have a working Electrolux Z502 in the loft bought in 1978! Now thats a service life. 8) Also never had any new parts except bags, filters and brush roller. 😮
Dysons only remove surface dirt, they cannot and do not remove embedded grit properly, if you don’t believe me buy a Sebo, vac your carpets as throughly as you want with the Dyson, do them again passing each area only once with the Sebo, then cut the bag open and see the c*** the Dyson wasn’t removing!
Mod edit. It`s a family forum

Re: Which Vacuum Cleaner?
I’m with Ken, I am NO fan of bagless vacuum cleaners.
A friend of mine works at a chemical/machine supplier in Bradford and has done for many years he has never seen a bagless commercial vacuum except the Dyson Constantmax pile of shyte. In which case they begrudgingly supplied two to a school and they both blew up with in 6 months, commercial then? They looked like domestic ones with a commercial sticker on to me. Dyson seem to get very dirty motors very quickly, I believe and so does my friend that this is due to the abscense (sp) of a bag.
Dysons keep me busy anyroad as they remove so little muck from carpetting they get dirty very quickly and people pay me to clean it up for them, so in that respect I hope people keep on buying them! 😆
My Mum has had Dysons for years so I bought here two commercial Sebos and the dirt that they removed after only being cleaned with Dysons for 7 years was unbelievable. The bags weighed an absolute ton. Her carpets have gone from looking quite dirty to nearly new! I wonder what sort of vacuum Mr Dyson has………

Re: Faulty wash cycle on Servis Quartz.
Hi,
If its any help I have the manual for a Quartz 1000, (same as yours but faster spin) so if you get any error codes eg. F1 – F6 I can tell you what they mean.
BTW I am not an engineer, so I cannot give you any more help.
HTH,

Oliver.Re: Which Vacuum Cleaner?
That is a change for the better as not so much muck should escape. Yes the other bagless vacuums are disgusting to empty, the filters make one hell of a mess when cleaned as alot of them are supposed to be brushed etc.
I’m sticking with my bagged Sebo’s though! 😆

I have always got covered in the past even when wrapping a plastic bag around the container (as they advise) to empty it. So called bagless. 😕

I thought the motor had been taken out, to make it lighter! :con:
That model wouldn’t suck if you gave Hoover £1000 to make it to!!! 😈 (even before the motor being removed!)
Re: Build quality and brand names!
Now thats what I call bl@@dy impressive, Madrat!
Nice work, when are you going to start selling them? When the kids see it everyone will want one!
It’ll all be fine so long as your not expected to “Hoover” up after the party. 8)

Thats exactly what a Dyson doesn’t do. If you were a bird it would be good, they like to have a dust bath! :rotl: You should love’em then Chris! :penguins:

Re: Hoover VHD 8142 wrong cycles
I thought you could turn a solid state timer either way, its the mechanical ones that are clockwise only, I had a Hotpoint (WF530T) you could turn it in either direction, the manual backed that up. But my Bosch WFF2000 with a mechanical timer is clockwise only, it even has a device so it is impossible to turn it the other way.
