Who Wants to See My BUSH?! Overview of VUS34AE2O - Not the WORST :-O

I was fully prepared to include this vacuum cleaner in the playlist of The Worst Vacuum Cleaners but when I got it and used it I was pleasantly surprised!
It's actually not as bad as I thought it would be. Join me in this video where we explore my BUSH in great detail; the good, the bad and the hairy.
Hope you enjoy the video. Don't forget to comment like and subscribe!

We think Steve is missing a trick when chucking all that fluff away. He could be repurposing said hair into genuine Welsh Mirkins and making his fortune. This lowly Bush is indeed a surprise for us too. After seeing Parwaz show off a few dodgy looking specimens of late we see that even the far eastern budget manufacturers can pull together a half decent machine these days. True they aren't top notch but not as grim as they once were and so long as the owner understands they don't last and anything that breaks is virtually impossible to replace then they'll probably be satisfied. We bet the lack of air flow will result in poorer dust pickup from a deeper pile carpet. Thank you for this week's neatest Bush. 👍

www.steveswelshmirkins.co.uk I think that has a nice ring about it

Oh the innuendos 😂😂😂😂

The Essentials C400UVC22 available at Currys seems to be near enough the same model. Currys reviews section contains several complaints of "hard to push". I expect it's because of the agressive brush. I'm sure its actually fine to use if you have it set correctly. Great channel by the way. :)

[@99ron30]

So, I got one of the above mentioned Essentials C400UVC22 refurbed from eBay. It differs from the Bush only in ride height settings and cord length. However, the Currys model I received is ridiculously loud. The Bush is listed on Argos website as only 80db, but this one must be way over that. I will measure it tomorrow. Seems to be afew complaints of excessive noise in reviews I have read, but not enough to suggest that all of them are this loud. Tried it without the belt as I thought the noise must just be the aggressive brush rubbing on something. But no, it's the motor and the vibration caused by it. Like there's no sound deadening whatsoever.

[@99ron30]

So today I used my smartphone to measure the decibels. It was only 89 decibels. Whilst that is loud, it perhaps isn't the motor bearing failure I had thought. Maybe it's just terrible sound/vibration deadening on the Essentials C400UVC22. The Bush perhaps got afew extra bits of rubber/foam?. Anyway, these machines take Eureka E0205 belts.

[@99ron30]

It's strange that on Argos reviews, several people state that the Bush is actually QUIETER than their previous machine. But then some reviews say that it is noisy?. Maybe some got better motors/sound deadening than others? I measured the decibel levels of my Hoover Hurricane Power VR81HU01. And to my suprise it was between 82 and 89 decibels. The noise doesn't seem anywhere near as harsh as the Essentials C400UVC22, but almost the same in terms of decibels. My partners Hoover Breeze Evo TH31BO01 is genuinely pretty quiet, only 350 Watt motor and stated to be 79 decibels.

I think you'll sell it easy Steve- not a bad modern machine

[@David-uf8ex]

I think up until a couple of years ago Alba was on board to . They finally finished last year after many years

[@TheVintageApplianceEmporium]

Oh yes I forgot about Alba

Hey Steve, Can You Please Do A Versus Demo Of The Hoover C1409 And The C1417?!

[@playstation5427]

A surprisingly good vacuum I wonder how many have been sold

[@sebo_up_and_down]

This model was introduced around February 2020. Typical sales of this model are 25 - 40 units per day. Main criticisms are that filters don't endure repeated washing which is necessary, no spares or parts are available, short cord and 'poor suction' which we interpret as poor airflow especially from hose. We liberated this info from a dear friend who is in the know. We now owe them a lemon drizzle cake.

[@playstation5427]

@@sebo_up_and_down interesting thanks for the information.

[@colinhall6478]

Thanks for showing us your bush steve 😂

[@TheVintageApplianceEmporium]

Any time!

A Bagless Chinese crap vac

[@isaacsmith1874]

We have this in the USA as the Eureka airspeed which is the same machine but had no height adjustment.

[@isaacsmith1874]

I meant powerspeed which is 100% the same thing on the outside

[@isaacsmith1874]

BTW they are about $50 here in the states.

👋🤚🖐✋️🙌👐

[@jeremymarshall7381]

That bin is full did you vacuuming with that

[@TheVintageApplianceEmporium]

Yes, this has been my go-to machine for the past four months

[@OHhooverpoof]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣A Bush who's model number starts with a V?????🤔😱👀🤣🤣

[@iangrice329]

Have seen that machine in many colours with many names.

[@TheVintageApplianceEmporium]

It's everywhere under a LOT of different brands

[@iangrice329]

@TheVintageApplianceEmporium the thing is, perhaps we should be saving them. They are so bad and throw away that they will disappear quickly.

[@FrenchFryCheese04]

Steve how many dirt devils do you have? (Now what are models you like and don't like?)

[@TheVintageApplianceEmporium]

I think I only have two - Handy and Rebel. My experience with DD is quite limited sadly

[@heeheeriah]

This is the same as the Eureka-Swan upright!

[@TheVintageApplianceEmporium]

It seems that this machine has had many different labels slapped on it

[@OHhooverpoof]

And I just used my Choover Air Revolve cylinder to clean my apartment/flat not an hour ago...Lovely machine with a too, too short hose[no I'm NOT a Size Queen 🤣🤣🤣] so I know about Chinese rebadged machines...UGH

[@TheVintageApplianceEmporium]

Oooh we had that machine in the UK under the VAX label. I had one briefly and didn't get on with it because of the short hose

[@OHhooverpoof]

@@TheVintageApplianceEmporium I just commented it is silly. Am I lying? Hahaha I am, thanks. :)

No, you're not lying :-P Glad you're having a good time in Vietnam. Wish I was there with you!
