I'm in need of some hoover help here! I have a Cat & Dog Miele hoover. Well just been hoovering and the thing stopped. The red 'on' light was still showing but the hoover was very hot......checked the bag and its full up, as in bulging at the seems full! I have left it for 20 mins, went to turn it back on, the red 'on' light shows but hoover does not start......no smell of burning though

 

The motor might have a thermal cut-out, leave it a while longer.

 

does it have any filters on it? I nearly blew the Dyson up this weekend hoovering up sawdust, which clogged the filter

 

Go and get the purple and silver dyson!

 

Thanks Mal. Will leave him a bit longer.

M..... Had a few Dyson's, never rated them.....suction power was not all that. As you know how hairy my Shepherd is......like a walking carpet!! My Bullmastiff leaves no hair

 

Dysons have no loss of suction though, unlike a bag.....

I can't believe your hoover is a 'him'.....

 

Tried a few Dyson's from John Lewis as you can 'Try before you buy'. Found the Miele Cat & Dog to be heaps better than the rest in its class at Ł200-220. The better one though is the Sebo, its a German hoover but only comes in an upright. I took my Miele to bits and found on the board there was a break so soldered it and it works fine now

 

Get in!

 

Thanks chap!!


Was really pleased with myself. Trouble is its now gone to my head, typical bloke.......I can fix any hoover now!!

 

seeing as no ones pointing out the obvious here "hoover" is a brand name, what you are discussing here is a range of "vacuum cleaners"


but don't worry, we hoober with a dyson too

anyway, your problem might be that the bag is full and has cut out until you either empty it or replace it with a new one got the same problem with the k'archer i've got

 

sod it, get a kirby!

 

I'd love to know who taught you how to use the internet, then I'd like to shit in their front garden night after night

 

They cost an absolute bomb! I remember years ago a couple of salesmen were trying to flog one to my parents, it was going well 'til they mentioned the price.......It was over Ł1k.

 

Vax ftw !! cleans up all kinds of god know's what and... you can use it for cleaning the interior in the car

 

They look sooooo old!


'I dont wan' that one......I wan' that one!!'

 

Well done on fixing it!! I would have got the hump and lobbed it in the bin

 

Have you seen how powerful they are chap? A mate of mine had one, unreal! I turned the switch to full power then turned it on................... my 20-18ft carpet fucked off up the hoover in a milli-second.......lol!!

 

They did a demonstration with some salt, poured a load on the floor and went over it with our hoover (which actually was a hoover, Dojj), then over it again with the kirby. Needless to say it found more salt....

Fuck paying that much though!

 

they did the demo' with red wine on my white carpet.....lol!


They are fantastic, so powerfull but so expensive, also look like a Tyrannosurus rex's foot!

 

keep it going, we will be on the food mixers next

 

we get them sales peeps round to "demonstrate" every once in a while and see just how clean they can make one of our carpets

we are always very impressed at how clean they come out, but unfortuantly we are not currently in the market for that sort of thing

 

I can tell you loads about them mate!
