I've just test driven my new acquisition.
It's like going from the decrepit Minivan I once had (it spewed out all its cooling fluid in the three-quarters of a mile journey home after I'd bought it, later while carrying an engine/gearbox back from Southport, the oil pressure went negative) to a Midas with a Cooper S engine!
I can very nearly reach every carpet in the house from one socket.
It has a 750w motor instead of the 2000w one we had before, but works better - and for a third of the fuel consumption.
Fantastic!
I haven't tested the 4.5m reach hose yet (there's only so much fun I can take in one day) nor can I evidence the claim that it will reach all the way up an entire flight of stairs in the bungalow we live in, and the turbo pet hair accessory is sure to come in handy as soon as I get a replacement for Sally.
I ordered it at 11:15 am yesterday, and it was delivered at 11:10 today! I've never had such good mail order service. This is the gold standard by which all others should be judged.
Machine details: Hoover Blaze TH71BL01001
Vendor details: A P Taylor trading as www.directvacuums.co.uk
Well pleased!
Happiness is a New Hoover
