Truvox Valet II Cordless Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner Unboxing & Demonstration

400/500 quids? That's way too much!!!

[@ibaisaic]

It’s OK, you don’t have to buy one. Mine cost £300.

[@bolt974]

@@ibaisaic what kind of answer is you don't have to buy one? I just expressed an opinion, you didn't need to be rude.

[@ibaisaic]

Sorry, I didn’t think I was being rude, I was just stating that you don’t have to spend your money on one if you think it’s too much. I spend a lot of my money on many many vacuum cleaners and people can decide if they want to spend their own money on a vacuum I review. Clearly you think it cost too much and you’re entitled to your opinion.

[@ibaisaic]

I haven’t counted recently, but certainly more than 200.

[@kenlong4976]

These are my favorite type of cordless vacuums. They clean very well on all types. We had a fleet of the Riccars for the cleaning business. Never had problems with batteries or anything. I got so used to using them so I use one at home. Glad your going to keep it out and use it. You'll love the time it saves

[@paulillingworth1242]

Reminds me of a Modern Hoover Junior if they were to exist and be cordless, the beating action is audible I think reminds me of old Hoover.

[@arancunningham7256]

These are branded as both Riccar and Simplicity here in the states. It’s incredibly expensive and different, but it cleans amazing.

I love that your socks always match or nearly match the vacuums you are showing us! Thank you for your videos!

[@TheCleanersCupboard]

I bought the original version of this to use commercially at a site with limited electric outlets and it did a great job and held up pretty well. I had to replace the baseplate after a while but it was cheap and easy to do. Truvox customer service is excellent. I liked it so much I’ve actually brought it home to use as a daily. I get my Sebo E1 out for the big weekly clean but the Truvox does the daily work. Fantastic little vacuums

[@ibaisaic]

It’s good enough for domestic use and I enjoy using it, though I had to remove the motor hood from mine as some rice and lentils were rattling around underneath the hood. I discovered that you have to replace the whole brush roll when the brushes wear down and they’re not cheap. I’ve ordered more bags and belts for it which were relatively cheap.

[@a111z]

@@ibaisaic I have the Riccar version. I swapped the brushroll to the stiffest bristle version, made a big improvement in carpet grooming, and makes it feel practically self propelled. Technically, you can just swap the brush strips and not the whole metal brushroll, at least on mine.

I have a corded version of this machine with a 5.5 amp moto named the Riccar SupraLite. It’s a great machine and for those who remember their vacuum cleaner history the brush roller is the old VibraGroomer III from the days when better Eureka products were high performance machines.

[@thetechiesworld]

I actually have a friend who lives in the town where Tacony has their manufacturing plant (St. James, Missouri), which is also where the Vacuum Cleaner Museum was located before it closed in 2019. Interestingly enough, he isn't a vac enthusiast haha I believe the Tacony plant is one of St. James' biggest employers.

[@kc5077]

I have a corded Simplicity Freedom and it’s a great light weight vacuum. No swivel steering but Tacony uses bigger motors than the closest Orecks. I just got a used Simplicity Synchrony and their tandem air machines are a beast on carpet. We need to get a Riccar Brilliance to Roger!

[@Retro_andy_1977]

Brilliant machine ,sebo bp60 have a rival with this

[@MarcelloTheBandit]

Huh! I'm surprised that it took so many passes to clean carpets with this. I wonder if they did anything different for the brushroll between the corded and cordless models, or was that the difference between US and UK spec models? 🤔

[@HooverAC110]

Fantatic video as usual Roger. By the way what is the name of the song during the vacuuming it's great?!

[@gerry9]

Hej Roger here it is sold as Lux easy move for commercial use. Wanted to buy one, but will wait till you tested it.

[@arevee9429]

As expected, all the commenters have already mentioned this one's similarities to the Riccar / Simplicity lightweight models - including the battery-operated version. I don't know if they all buy from the same supplier in China or if this is a Tacony (Riccar/Simplicity) designed machine. I have owned both the corded and cordless versions of this vacuum and although I really liked the corded version, I never quite warmed up to the cordless and prefer cordless vacuums designed from the ground up to be battery operated (Dyson). This one reminds me of a gasoline car with an electric motor and batteries retrofitted after the fact. Which is to say OK, but not as good as a purpose-built machine. And if I recall correctly, both the corded and cordless versions were prone to clogging.

[@montacute07]

would you recommend this for daily use around the house? cause it looks pretty good, but its quite pricey. hope you get 100k subscribers soon!

[@TheCleanersCupboard]

I’ve got one that I initially used commercially at work but I liked it so much that I’ve taken it home and it’s now my daily vac. I get my Sebo E1 out once a week to do a deep clean but the Truvox does fine for general daily cleaning. I personally think it’s pretty good on hard floors too

[@fracturedmind8124]

Looks like a Riccar/Simplicity we get here in the states. Also kind of looks like an Oreck although some Riccar/Simplicity vacuums do IMO.

[@stevejones1972]

We had one of the first generation models at our workplace, in around 2017 and it was used by me and the other cleaners there. It didnt work very well sadly and ended up being replaced with a Henry commercial grade cordless due to it needing constant changes of soleplate, as the small wheels on the soleplate kept wearing down and dropping off due to it not being robust enough to use on our Altro flooring. The bags get heavy when only a third full, and suction drops off rapidly after that so the bags being large does not mean you will actually use that volume of space in the bags. They suffer fade when the battery starts to get below 2 bars and the motor slows down, reducing the already fairly weak suction that they do have. Ours became very creaky and the wheels were clattery and noisy when rolled across the floors right from the word go, when it was new. Because of the poor soleplate wheel design, our maintenance manager decided to ditch the Valet upright as once the wheels wear down, the soleplate rubs on the hard flooring and this also then rapidly wears the brushroll bristles down and parts for them are quite expensive, and the machines themselves cost over £400 so they are not cheap to start with. They may well be OK for domestic use when used mainly on carpet, but for us, we found they just did not withstand daily commercial use - a 50/50 split between office grade carpet and Altro (similar to lino).

[@NumaticHenryLover]

What cordless Henry machine was it? Think I know which one you're talking about though.

[@stevejones1972]

@@NumaticHenryLover The NBV240NX - its the commercial variant with the larger battery that slides into the rear of the unit.

[@rosaviakosmos]

Большое спасибо за обзор, в общем понятно что на плитке он даже рис собрать не может... Резиновый уплотнитель находится за щеткой и при движении вперед половину он засасывает, а при движении назад уплотнитель тупо сгребает все назад и на этом меняется сцена... Также очень заинтересовала не стандартная схема, обычно отсек с мешком плотно закрывается крышкой, так как мотор создает там вакуум, таким образом мусор сразу попадает в мешок, а затем воздух проходит через вентилятор и выходит через фильтр тонкой очистки HEPA, а данном пылесосе нету фильтров на выходе....

Is it a Tacony machine? They make simplicity/Riccar

[@Vacuum-kid]

Were you using it on the High power setting or low power setting on the carpet it’s hard to tell ?

[@ibaisaic]

This model only has one power setting.

[@Vacuum-kid]

@@ibaisaic oh because the American version has 2 power speeds , so I thought this one did to.

[@sprockkets]

That's a weird brush strips. The ones for the corded versions, actually for just about every other Tacony/Simplicity/Riccar vac all use horse hair bristles. Because of that I've never had any hair build up on any rollers on their vacs over 10 years of use. I wonder if they are different for yours. The belt on all the metal brush vacs for the corded versions of this vac, all use a serpentine belt which never needs replacing. If it does, they are supposed to give you one for free.

[@FantomLightning]

That's not quite correct. The line has been reformed but the S10D and R10D machines have a metal brush roll like this machine and do not use the lifetime serpentine belt, they have also expanded the metal brush roll to the current revision R10S model. The brush strips the cordless models use are the softest "delicate" brush strips for less strain on the motor and longer run time.

[@a111z]

@@FantomLightning I have the Riccar R10 Cordless, I swapped the stiffer brushroll into mine and it made a big difference in grooming performance. Also makes the vacuum feel self propelled.

[@David49305]

As a Tacony machine, I doubt it is the same as Hoover. I don't know about Oreck.

Riccar! I have examined their top line US made Tandem Air model and the quality is astounding! $999.99 to $1,499.99 with 3 VIP home visits included. Should I replace my Miele upright, this would be my choice. Not buying a cordless Miele stick vacuum. Very unhappy with them discontinuing the upright models. Very. 🤨 I see this retails for $799.99 thru Riccar US. Ouch. 😖

[@MarkAgueVacuums]

Tacony has been slowly phasing out us production over the last few years. They aren’t the brand they once where.

[@kc5077]

The MSRP prices are high but give room for Riccar dealers to discount their vacuums. I just got a used tandem air machine, it’s interesting but not my favorite. If your were to replace your Miele I’d recommend the Sebo Felix, Sebo X4, or the Riccar R25 Pet. But if you want a light weight vacuum for carpets the Riccar Supralite Deluxe corded upright is nice and has a bigger motor than similar Orecks.
