Vacuum Cleaners Direct

Do you ever think about the history of the vacuum cleaner? Have you had sleepless nights wondering who invented the vacuum cleaner and why? Or, how did people cope before the invention of the vacuum cleaner? Or do you constantly ask yourself that all important question, how much did a vacuum cleaner cost in 1937? No, me neither. I just wanted to buy one! I first came across Vacuum Cleaners Direct a couple of weeks ago. My old vacuum cleaner had just gone 'bang' (literally), so I wanted to find a replacement as soon as possible. Normally I would just go into an electrical shop, buy one and bring it home, but on this occasion I had a particularly busy few ...  Read the complete review

I actually came to this particular opinion category because I was hoping to find out if anyone else had used this particular on-line site, which deals only in vacuum cleaners (apparently, anyway!! I'm still waiting to find out!!)

Having decided on the excellent Dyson DC08 Hepa to replace my 9 year-old Vax, price comparison sites recommended VacuumCleanersDirect. With a great site design and one of the cheapest prices on the net, I decided to purchase with VCD. Ordering was easy and efficient. However a pleasant shopping experience it was not to be. In total I sent 7 emails to both customer service at VCD and 24-7electrical.co.uk (its parent company) in order to arrange a delivery date, for which I received absolutely no replies back. I had ruled out any fault on my part, by sending using both web-based and POP3 accounts, and also sending emails twice a day. There is nothing worst for ...  Read the complete review
