Is this the handheld vacuum that trumps Dyson and Black & Decker? When Gtech invited me to their latest press launch, I admit I was pretty thrilled. Setting aside my obvious need to get out more, the main reason I was so excited was that they promised a new product that wasn't just an upgrade … [Read more...]
Over the last couple of weeks I have had a friend staying with me. He gets up early, before I'm out of bed and vacuums for me. The living room, the hall and the kitchen are left tidy before I even get up. He even cleaned up after my rather messy Halloween party! My friend is actually a … [Read more...]
Is it wrong to be a little in love with a vacuum cleaner? Heck, if this feeling is wrong I don't want to be right. The Gtech AirRAM cordless vacuum cleaner (RRP £229.00) came into my life just a few short weeks ago, but already I'm infatuated. Why's that? Well, I'll tell you. … [Read more...]
So, I'm a bit late to the Roomba party. They've been around for a good few years (and have led to the creation of this genius kitten video) but I've only recently got my hands on one. I got the opportunity last week to try out the latest model and being terribly lazy, I greeted the offer of a … [Read more...]
I'll be honest, I thought nothing could tear my love away from my darling Henry vacuum, but my mind may have just been changed by this new product from Vax. Student Jake Tyler designed the world's first cardboard vacuum cleaner as part of his final year degree project after working with Vax under … [Read more...]
Dyson has announced a new tool for its vacuums, and it's focussed on our furry friends. The Dyson Groom Tool, which looks like a fancy dog brush (because it is), fits on the hose of most of the models in the Dyson range. To work it, you pop the Groom Tool on the hose, and comb it over your dog. … [Read more...]
I have a long-term hatred for cleaning the house. As much as I envy those people with pristine, pet hair-free homes, I'd rather spend my Sunday afternoons on the sofa watching a boxset then fluttering around the place with Mr Sheen. Sadly, cleaning is a vital chore for those that don't yearn to be a … [Read more...]
I've been using the Electrolux Intensity for many years now (here's a video of me talking about it back in 2007), and the simple fact is, it doesn't matter how great its suction is, how splendidly small it can be folded and how smart it looks, it's heavy, it can't do stairs, corners or cobwebs, and … [Read more...]
I don't think I ever fully appreciated the charms of a handheld vacuum cleaner until I got sent a Dyson handheld to test a few years ago. The Dyson is long gone, sadly, killed in a flash flood in the cupboard under the sink after someone forgot to mention that the pipes had been … [Read more...]
Let's face it, if you're buying the Vax Kone handheld vacuum cleaner, you're not buying it because you think it might be have the best suckage on the market, or because you suspect it of being capable of great multi-surface cleaning action: you're buying it because you think it looks all pretty and … [Read more...]
