Anybody ever heard of "Morphy Richards" vacuums?
Original Message Jul 3, 2010 10:24 pm

Evidently they're UK only, but they seem to make some good priced quality machines. They offer between 2-3 year warranties, and their flagship model - the most expensive cyclonic-like canister- has a wheel system like a Miele and has some really ingenious innovations to the cyclonic RUG NOZZEL. http://www.morphyrichards.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?Product=71080 They also made a neat your-vacuum-powered wet/dry attachment: http://www.morphyrichards.co.uk/NewsArticle.aspx?Category=NC9&Article=NFC_04 What's the quality like on these machines? Evidently one person thinks their flagship model beats their Dyson in performance, and says it's well built next to a Dyson - which says a good amount. Any thoughts?

Put it this way, Hertz I own a few more products than you, namely Sebo's X1 Automatic at 15 years old. However this isn't about who has the most, this is about going down what you constitute as "well built," and from your 10 year old models, none of them are Electrolux, Miele or Sebo. So how can you jump to conclusions?

10 year old models I own (or more in some cases)

Hoover Junior 1346 1981 year
Hoover Junior U1104 1983.
Hoover Junior Deluxe 1981
Hoover Senior 652 1979
Vax canister 1987
Sebo X1 Automatic 1996

Models less than 10 years old:

Sebo K1 Komfort 2005
Miele S4210 2006
Miele S571 2006
Vax Quicklite V-045/ same as U.S Dirt Devil Dynamite 2006
Sebo Dart 2007
Sebo K3 Premium 2008
Sebo K3 Vulcano 2009
Sebo Felix 2007
Sebo X1.1 2010 (second hand bought in 2003, still runs on original drive belt)
Sebo X4 2010 (second hand bought in 2007, still runs on original drive belt)
Miele S381 2010
Vax Mach Air 2010

MIELE'S ARE MADE TO LAST TWENTY YEARS. Quality. Sebo says on their website 10-15, QUALITY. So I'm not jumping to conclusions so much as knowing that the manufacturers DO build machines of such quality.

Ah, so you're believing what the manufacturers say then?! Sorry but I feel in this case unless you own such a model for a lengthy amount of time you'll have little cause to support any vacuum cleaner bearing Miele or Sebo's name. Sorry Hertz, but you're dealing with a realistic buyer AND owner here!
