These are really good, I bought one from B&Q a few years ago and it's still going strong. Just ordered another one so I can have one for the car and one for the home! Similar to Henry's although the carpet tool isn't as sturdy, but still very usable, and a bargain at this price!
Mine just arrived, all seems good, looks brand new to be honest!

Don't touch Karcher stuff, terrible quality. I had one of these and, it was only used 4 times before having problems with the motor. No wonder this is a refurbished unit.

£42 for a new one on Amazon. OK that's £10/25% more but judging by people's varied success with the Outlet, probably worth it for peace of mind.
(is the outlet warranty the same as a new purchase?)

Totally agree, bought a window vac recently advertised on hukd. Received it loose in box no packaging and the filter missing. Took 15 days from purchase date to receive then have it picked up for return. Waited another 3 days for replacement, them I cancelled and bought off Amazon for tenner more with extras.
Did return my payment quickish though.

Hahahaha with my experience of Hoover vacs, I would think they would take it as a compliment :stuck_out_tongue:

Never buy from Karcher Outlet. I had a Karcher Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner *Refurbished* - and it was waste of money. Karcher Outlet sent it with bits missing, it was in a bad state. Karcher Outlet service does not exist. Never buy from them again.

I've bought a few from them and they have always been delivered in an as new condition. I personally wouldn't buy any other way

Yes, I like these - very good hoovers -but you have to be careful not to lose the filter bung when cleaning it.
Replacement filters with bungs are quite expensive although compatible ones can be bought quite cheaply on ebay

I'm sure Hoover will not be pleased to hear you call these after them :smiley:
I have this for my workshop, all I can say is get bags for it as the fine dust blocks the filter too easily
