Kirby vacuum cleaners are great, until you've owned one for six months and they pester you to upgrade it, then ring you ever month after that, despite telling them that you're not interested.

hoover is a name synonimous with vacuum cleaners

much like hotpoint was for washing machines or bmx was for bikes and stuff like that

our hoover's are made by dyson, karcher and vax, but it's still called hoovering

My missus's mums got one... had it 27 years and it went wrong for the first time a fortnight ago.

It was picked up, repaired and delivered back in 3 days and will still suck an orange through a garden hose..

They are shit loads of money and as stylish as Chip... but if you look at the cost of ownership over a period they knock everything into a cocked hat.

Forget buying one new, check free ads and e-bay for old dears who can no longer carry them up the stairs...


If you have a rep round to do a demo... DONT let him hoover your bed... is just the most gross thing you've ever seen...

Or if he does insist... get him to do the missus's side then she can never moan at you for not washing...
