Vorticity is a hit for our 75th Anniversary

By Tom Craik | 20.07.2011 | Posted in 75th Anniversary, Floor Care, Household Cleaning

As part of our 75^th Anniversary celebrations, we recently gave our fans a treat by offering a HUGE 75% off our Vorticity vacuum cleaner for 48 hours. Not surprisingly, they flew off the virtual shelves. Since its launch, the product has been a huge hit with our customers, as well as high profile mummy bloggers, who really know what they’re talking about (see here, here and here)

We’ve seen a lot of new readers join our community since we launched Vorticity last year, so we thought we’d pull together a quick blog post for those of you not familiar with it, so here you go.

We developed Vorticity - a new spin on vacuum cleaners – with the modern consumer in mind, those that don’t have bags of time to spare, but still want the best results possible. With its intuitive, simple design and unique, versatile floorhead it really does give our deepest clean ever.

It’s ground-breaking floorhead uses the power of a cyclone where you need it most , with 22 mini cyclones that gently dislodge dust and dirt with ease.

We could talk about it all day but the best way for you to get a sense of how it works is to see it in action. You can view a range of Vorticity videos (as well as a host of other video content) on our YouTube channel, but we’ve posted a small selection below. Let Glynn Hauser, our design and innovation engineer, take you through the product journey.

This one gives you a brief overview of its features…

This one explains how easy it is to assemble…

And this one explores the bagless system in-depth.

Guest Blog Post – Allergy fast facts from Lindsey McManus of Allergy UK

By Tom Craik | 11.07.2011 | Posted in Floor Care

In our second blog post exploring allergy management around the home, our guest contributor Lindsey McManus gives us some top facts and tips. Lindsey works for our parter, Allergy UK, who are the leading medical charity for people with Allergy, Food Intolerance and Chemical Sensitivity. In other words, she knows what she’s talking about!

Allergens such as house dust mite and pollens can settle on hard surfaces as well as in carpets and soft furnishings, giving them a quick wipe over with a damp duster daily helps prevent allergens becoming airborne again.
The house dust mite loves a warm moist environment to live in – don’t worry about making your bed in the morning, save time and just throw back the quilt or covers and let the bed air.
Ventilation is really important in fighting the war against indoor allergens; try to keep bedroom and bathroom windows open slightly to prevent mould developing around the bath and windows.
Turn the temperature down a few degrees and the bedroom will be less of a haven for the housedust mite.
Pollens can stay active for up to three months in your carpets, vacuum regularly with a vacuum with a HEPA filter to help keep your hayfever under control.
Pet allergens, particularly those from cats, can be very difficult to remove – make sure your family pets are only allowed in restricted areas to keep down the allergens in bedrooms and even your living room if possible.
If your child can’t bear to be parted from a favourite soft toy to allow you to wash it, or if it can’t be washed at over 60 degrees, pop it in the freezer over night to kill off the house dust mites and then wash at the temperature recommended to remove any remaining droppings.

We work closely with Allergy UK to make sure our floor care products are as efficient as possible at helping you keep allergens at bay. Our Vorticity vaccuum cleaner contains a HEPA filter that traps and retains the dust allergens that make your life difficult, rather than releasing them back into the atmosphere. To find out more, check out the product’s dedicated website, or if you’re thinking about buying one online, click here to go to the Morphy Richards website.

Pocket-Lint reviews Vorticity

By Tom Craik | 06.05.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning, Product Reviews

We got in touch with top tech journalist and blogger Dan Sung about our Vorticity vacuum cleaner, and he jumped at the chance to do a hands on review.

Dan has been getting involved in some serious spring cleaning action back at home so he’s given the machine a real run for its money. In his review on gadget blog, Pocket-Lint, he explores everything from its suction power and ease of maintenance to its sleek and intuitive design. You can read his thoughts below or click here to hop on through to the original article

Not quite so well known for its vacuum cleaners as its kitchen appliances, Morphy Richards threw Pocket-lint a bit of a curve ball when the company sent over its top of the line Vorticity Plus Bagless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner to test out. Fortunately, we’re always curious to see exactly what bits and bobs they’re putting in top kit of all sorts these days and, more importantly, Chez Lint also happens to be a very dusty place right now and in need of some serious Spring cleaning.

Out of the box the £169.99 Vorticity Plus is nice and simple to set up. With snap together pieces reminiscent of those close up shots in action movies where ex-marines assemble their weaponry for the big fight, it’s almost quite fun were it not over all too quickly. Cylinder onto machine, hose into cylinder, handle into hose, telescopic arm onto handle and head into telescopic arm. Job done. Well, nearly. Naturally, a vacuum cleaner wouldn’t be a vacuum cleaner if it didn’t come with all those alternative attachments for the head that you’ll never use and Morphy Richards are kind enough to include a Mini-Floorhead (just like the big one but smaller), Brush (for upholstery) and a Crevice Tool (not for that crevice).

Now, the clever thing that MR has done here is recognise that most of these accessories get left in the box and stuffed up in the attic, so there’s a rather nice bit of design along the handle and tubing with little brackets where you can fit the alternative heads so that they stay on-device for when you need them. It’s an excellent idea but, sadly, the fact that we’ve still managed to lose them speaks volumes. Fire the thing up though and you’ll have very few complaints.

It’s wildly simple to use in – sorry Morphy Richards but we have to say it – Dyson-like style. Any buttons of relevance are colour coded orange and you’ll have down what each one does within a minute without so much as having to pick up the manual. A swift kick of the power pad on the cylinder and the 22 mini-cyclone system comes to life. The deal there is that instead of relying on just the one main hole on the underside of the head to do the work, the Vorticity Plus adds a system of mini-holes along the width. What that means in practice is that it does actually suck up the dirt and fluff of the whole area you’ve just passed over without having to go back and do it again. Given that vacuuming isn’t at the top of most people’s favourite activities list, that’s a very good thing.

The suction works well throughout use and the machine never seemed to drop bits back through the head and onto our clean floors. It hasn’t deteriorated from the day it arrived and nor does the fullness of the cylinder seem to affect performance either. Once it is jammed full of dust and fluff though, it’s nice and obvious to see with very clear fill levels to indicate when it’s time to unclip. Then comes the most satisfying moment of all when you hit the second button on the case – and make sure you’re over a bin bag when you do so – and the bottom opens up dropping all of the detritus where it needs to go without dumping any back on the floor. A quick shake and a bump seemed to remove just about all of it with too much of a problem.

Once you’re done with the work, tug on the flex and the plug whips back into the housing on the case with much the same action as you might expect on a window blind. Aside, running the filter under a tap once a month or so, that’s pretty much all there is to it and we were generally very pleased with the functionality and design of the unit from top to bottom.

The only really question for us was over the heaviness of the head. It’s not heavy at all. That might sound like a good thing, and it’s certainly not all bad, but what that tends to mean is that you have to lean into it a bit more to ensure that it stays on the ground all the time. Invariably, that results in bending over and pressing on the tube a bit more which doesn’t quite make for the seamless, open-windowed, glass of wine experience that most commercials would have us believe that vacuuming is. It’s not a major flaw and it’s not like it’s going to cause you spinal problems or to hate the machine any, but don’t be fooled into thinking that the Vorticity Plus means that doing your floors isn’t a chore. It’ll still require some elbow grease.

The final thing to mention is the price. It’s not cheap. You can pick up a lot of cylinder vacuums offering the same kind of size and pack away convenience for a lot less. In fact, Morphy Richards makes some itself. At the end of the day, spending £169.99 on something like this is going to be around £100 more than a lot people want to. Who wouldn’t rather spend the difference on a better TV? But after pushing round some old heaps that double your work time and break down more often, it would be hard to feel that the Vorticity Plus isn’t money well spent.

Spring cleaning tips for a new-look home

By Tom Craik | 28.04.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning

Many of us have put off the big clean-up and de-clutter in favour of catching the April rays - we Brits need to make the most of any sun that we can get I suppose. In any case, we’ve put together these quick tips to inspire you to pick up your feather duster and delve into your wardrobe in the hope of domestic perfection.

We know that most of you don’t have time to set aside a week for an intense scrubathon, which is why our suggestions are designed to help you achieve maximum house beautification without crippling you in the process.

Preparation is key

First of all, here’s a few general tips to consider before you begin

1. Formulate a Plan of Attack

Before jumping right in there all mops and brushes blazing, take the time to prioritise which areas of your house need most work, and draw up a list of five, ten or fifteen mini-projects. That way you won’t get overrun and disheartened once you get down to the nitty gritty. To make it even more manageable (and super efficient), you might want to draw up a daily cleaning schedule so you can do a bit a day, and most importantly reward yourself afterwards.

2. De-clutter each area before cleaning

There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to deep clean an area of your house while navigating old magazines, assorted bric-a-brac and kids’ toys, moving them from place to place as you go. Do yourself a HUGE favour by clearing out each area of the house beforehand.

3. Delegate, delegate, delegate!

In her guest blog post earlier this month, top author Danielle Raine emphasised delegation as one of the keys to a successfully managed house. So whether you need to bring in professional help for the really tough bits, bribe incentivise your children with pocket money or sweet treats, or get your partner to pitch-in in the name of matrimonial harmony, it could make a massive difference to the amount of time you spend and how well you do it!

No time? Blitz these areas!

Freshen up your floors and carpets

A clean carpet can be the difference between a snug, spotless living room and a dirty, dank den, and they can look particularly worse for wear after winter, accumulating months’ worth of filth and grime.

Around 80% of carpet dirt and dust is loose and can be removed with a good quality vacuum cleaner, such as our Vorticity. You should vacuum your carpets at least once every couple of weeks to keep dust and dirt levels to a minimum, and more regularly if you’ve got pets. A spring clean is a great chance to vacuum areas that you often overlook, such as under sofas, beds, in crevices and corners, in storage spaces and spare rooms.

A deeper clean is often needed to get rid of those stubborn marks and stains and many people use their spring clean as a chance to get their carpets shampooed, whether that’s done professionally or by themselves.

Upholstery

Your furniture is likely to have taken some stick over the winter too and, with all that festive partying, probably more than a few spills. However, with a little care and attention over one afternoon, there’s no reason why you can’t have it looking like it’s fresh out of the showroom.

First of all, take all your loose cushions outside and give them a good beating to remove any excess dust. Set them to one side and then use your vacuum cleaner to clean up any crumbs and loose dirt on the top of your sofa and all those pesky bits that drop down the sides of the cushions.

Use your cleaner’s crevice tool to get into those tight areas, and around the base of the sofa where dust accumulates. If you’ve got leather sofa’s then it’s best to use a soft tool, such as the Vorticity’s dusting brush, to avoid any damage.

Curtail your curtain dirt

Curtains are one of the things that are often neglected when cleaning the home, mainly because all but the most domestically efficient aren’t in the know about how to clean them safely and properly.

They can be an expensive investment and you should give them a clean every year to keep them looking fresh and to prolong their lifespan. Make sure you give your windowsills, doors and blinds a good scrub too. When curtains rest against these surfaces, which are often damp, they can accumulate mildew, which can damamge the fabric.

Not all curtains are washable, but if they are, you’ll be able to use your washing machine (on a delicate setting) and iron them at home. Let them dry naturally outside, where they can be hung straight and iron them when they’re slightly damp, as you’ll get significantly better results.

So what are you waiting for? Give it ago, and let us know how you get on! Whether it’s a spring cleaning success story
or a nightmare experience, we’re all ears.

Guest blog post: Lindsey McManus of Allergy UK

By Tom Craik | 13.04.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning

If you are an allergy sufferer, then help is at hand!

It’s National Allergy Week this week, which focuses on raising awareness of new allergy management programmes, how allergies affect the lives of sufferers and on how those affected are impacted by the lack of allergy services.

Allergy UK, our partner in this arena, is the leading medical charity for people with Allergy, Food Intolerance and Chemical Sensitivity. Not a bad partner to have, don’t you think?

Lindsey McManus, one of their experts, has kindly agreed to be a guest contributor on ‘Home of the Houseproud’ and will be blogging top advice on managing allergies around the home.

In her first post, she explores the various tasks that cause allergy sufferers trouble round the home and how to minimise these problems.

The kind of household tasks that cause most difficulties for allergy sufferers are varied depending upon the allergy. Vacuuming, dusting, making beds, can all cause allergens such as house dust mites, pollens, pet allergens and moulds to be redistributed into the air causing problems for sufferers of asthma and allergic rhinitis. Whereas contact eczema can be aggravated by household cleaners, such as washing up liquids and strong detergents.

Beds can be the source of millions of house dust mites, in fact the average bed is home to over 2 million of them, and is the ideal breeding ground as it is a warm moist environment.

However it’s not only beds that are the problem, carpets, soft furnishings, clothes and even hard surfaces can harbour allergens that can be the cause of hayfever-like symptoms and asthma.

There are several ways a good cleaning routine can help lessen allergen exposure in the home. In the bedroom, anti allergy mattresses, quilts and pillow covers will help prevent housedust mites from establishing their home. Damp dusting of hard surfaces will also help remove allergens rather than redistributing them in the air.

Blinds and hard floors are easier to keep clean than carpets and curtains and a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter not only effectively helps remove or reduce allergens from carpets and soft furnishings, but also prevents them from being blown back into the air as they can be with a vacuum clear that doesn’t have a HEPA filter.

As allergens can also be found in sofas, curtains and even in soft toys, these should also be vacuumed regularly. A crevice tool and upholstery tool will help get into all the nooks and crannies.

If soft toys can be washed at 60 degrees this is also a good way of removing allergens, if they can’t be washed at this temperature put the toy in the freezer overnight and then wash at a lower temperature. Having lots of soft toys in a child’s bedroom should not be encouraged if a child suffers from allergic rhinitis or allergic asthma, so just keep to one favourite toy where ever possible.

Cleaning should be carried out at least twice a week to keep indoor allergens under control.

The Vorticity vaccuum cleaner contains a HEPA filter that traps and retains the dust allergens that make your life difficult, rather than releasing them back into the atmosphere.

Rosie Scribble thinks Vorticity vacuum cleaner is outstanding

By Tom Craik | 13.04.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning, Product Reviews

Top mummy blogger ‘Rosie Scribble’ (who blogs here and tweets here) has been putting the Vorticity vacuum cleaner through its paces over the last few weeks. She loved it, so much in fact, that she thinks it’s the best vacuum cleaner she’s ever used. Check out her review below or click here to read the original post on her blog

If Carlsberg made vacuum cleaners

If Carlsberg made vacuum cleaners they would probably be the best vacuum cleaners in the world. They would be a dream to use, they would suck up the entire contents of your carpet except for stray pound coins which they’d safely deposit next to the missing ear-ring they found earlier, and when the job is done they would make you a cup of tea, give you a foot massage and then prepare you a meal, from scratch, with only fresh organic produce, without you having to lift a finger.

The Vorticity isn’t made by Carlsberg so it lacks the ability to produce a hot meal; it doesn’t make tea, nor does it give you a foot massage, but apart from that it is exceptional.

If I don’t like a product, I say so. This. Product. Is. Outstanding.

It is without doubt the best vacuum cleaner I have ever used. It’s also the most expensive, but you get a lot for your money (and I have a 20% readers discount code at the end of this post).

I’ll buy a vacuum cleaner if it does the job well with the minimum of fuss and if it gets positive reviews. I don’t particularly spend a lot of time looking at all the product details but here are a few things about the Vorticity you should know based on my one-month experience:

It’s bagless

It’s very easy to empty and easy to clean

It is quieter compared to all the previous (albeit cheaper) vacuum cleaners I’ve used

It comes with a handful of attachments that help reach those tricky corners that often get missed

We haven’t tried it on pet hair but it picked up long human hair instantly and we’ve never achieved that result up until now

The head of the vacuum manoeuvres brilliantly and is suitable for all floor types

The Vorticity works by having two cyclones in the canister and a further 22 in the floor head

The results are excellent.

For those who do like reading all the product details, they are featured on Morphy Richard’s product page.

The main downside is that it takes up quite a lot of storage space, but that is something we can live with. It isn’t particularly lightweight but I didn’t have any major problems lugging it upstairs.

It is also expensive at £149.99 but I think it is excellent value for money nevertheless.

Readers can get 20% off the 71082 Vorticity Vacuum Cleaner by purchasing from the Morphy Richards website and using the voucher code RS8220 when you check out.

Morphy Richards has also launched a social community ‘Home of the House Proud‘ featuring recipes, product reviews, competitions and a list of House Proud Friends you might recognise.

We were sent the Vorticity from Morphy Richards free of charge to review. You have permission to hate me a little bit now.

Vorticity gives Mummy Reviews team a pleasant surprise

By Tom Craik | 12.04.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning, Product Reviews

Mummy Reviews is an independent product review site run and written by some of the top mummy and daddy bloggers in the UK, who voice their opinions on anything from books and toys, to days out, to things that are useful around the house, which is where we fit into the equation.

They recently put our Vorticity vacuum cleaner to the test and this is what they thought. You can read Alex’s original review post by clicking here

The Morphy Richards Vorticity is a bit of a change for us at Mummy Reviews Towers. We’ve been using a Miele Cat & Dog (or rather “Child detrius”) for the last 6 years, so when Morphy Richards offered us a Vorticity to review, we jumped at the chance.

The Vorticity uses a cunning head with 22 mini cyclones in it for superb deep cleaning but uniquely it doesn’t weld itself to the carpet with the power of it’s suction. This means we can clean our rug without having to weigh it down with a child at each end because the Vorticity doesn’t suck it up.

It’s a bag-less cleaner, which is great for us since with two little kids we’re forever changing bags on our existing vacuum. With this one, all we have to do is empty it out over the bin.

There are plenty of other good features too. The pole is telescopic, so it extends easily for taller people to use. In fact the word easily applies to quite a lot of the features of the Vorticity. It’s very easy to assemble from the box, the buttons are easily operated as they are big and chunky with an audible click when pressed and as its very light, its easy to drag around after you.

If I had to pick out one shortcoming, it would be that the very clever head doesn’t clean right up to the edge. This is probably due to the technology but what it does mean is you have to take the head off to clean right up against the wall. It’s by no means a deal breaker but does make cleaning a little more fiddly than it has to be.

That’s a small niggle though, other than that we’ve been very pleasantly surprised with our Morphy Richards Vorticity. It’s smart, stylish, sucks up dirt like nobodies business but leaves the rugs and fittings where they belong in the process. I would recommend this cleaner for even heavy duty cleaning. It sucks up cornflakes like there’s no tomorrow!

A quick look on Google does reveal a number of different models. We reviewed the Vorticity with a model number of 71083, should you want to look further.

Vorticity review on The Madhouse

By Tom Craik | 04.04.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning, Product Reviews

The lovely Jen Walshaw has been taking our Vorticity for a spin at home and really put it to the test. In fact, her boys have been getting in on the action too! You can read her thoughts below, or click here to read the original post on The Madhouse.

We have wood floors downstairs and cream carpet on the stairs and upstairs (yes silly mistake, but the house came with cream carpets, we replaced them with wood downstairs). Now up until recently this had always been an issue for me when it came to vacuuming the floor. I had an upright hoover and it was a nightmare, it didn’t pick up the crumbs or dust bunnies and I ended up sweeping everywhere or getting the boys to sweep everywhere.

Not any longer thanks to the Morphy RichardsVorticity vacuum cleaner. This is a revolutionary and I don’t say that lightly, vacuum cleaner, which I have discovered makes vacuuming hard floors as easy as carpeted ones and whats more it has lots of clever touches that make it a dream to use and even better the boys both love using it, so I no longer have to vacuum – hey I am all up for teaching my boys how to clean and look after a house, I want them to be a real catch someday.

So why is the Vorticity vacuum cleaner so good. Well I could tell you all about the unique head with 22 mini vacuums, but I think it is much better that you head to the web page for that information!

Pro’s

It is great on hard and soft floors, you don’t need to change the head

It is bagless

One touch emptying, which is great as long as you touch the right button

Extra long cord (seven metres), means I can get from one end of the house to the other without changing the plug point I use

Hepa filtration, which is great for any hay fever or asthma sufferers

The tube and head are ergonomic and can be adjusted to suit various heights of people and extended easily, which for me means it is easy for the boys to use, but that I can also reach the cobwebs in the conservatory without having to get the steps out

Inbuilt tool storage, so I never need to lose a tool

5 year guarantee

Cons

It is a pull along, but this is only a con if you are used to an upright as it takes more storage space

If you press the empty button without first removing the canister then you can make quite a mess, yes I am a numpty

A vacuum cleaner doesn’t come cheap nowadays and needs to be an informed and considered decision and the vorticity that we were provided with can be purchased for £91.99 on Amazon. At that price is is a super buy and I have to say that we are really pleased with it,not just for round the house, but for cleaning out the skips, erm I mean cars!

Mom on a Wire raves about the Vorticity vacuum cleaner

By Tom Craik | 22.02.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning, Product Reviews

The Vorticity vacuum cleaner continues to prove popular with mums across the UK. We offered top mummy blogger Alethea Hill the chance to test it out on her crumb-laden carpets and she gladly took up our offer. Check out her thoughts below or read the original post on her blog, Mom on a Wire.

So hands up if you love vacuuming! So do I! No really I do which is lucky since the Little Man has a real gift for sharing his food with the rest of the house. Cereal ends up in our bedroom, biscuit crumbs are found up and down the passage and rice seems to like cosying up to bread crumbs underneath the dining room table. And this is just after one day!

So you can imagine my excitement when I was offered the opportunity to review the gorgeous new Vorticity vacuum cleaner from Morphy Richards.

When it first arrived and was handed to me by the lovely postman my initial thought was wow, this is nice and light. And after unpacking all the bits and bobs I was very pleased with just how easy it was to move around the house.

It was very easy to assemble, came with every accessory you could possibly need, and the hand held suction piece was adjustable so it could work for all heights, and meant that I could stand comfortably with none of the backbreaking bending that I’ve had with other compact vacuums in the past.

One feature that I particularly like is the way that the filter traps almost 100% of the dust and allergens that would often escape in other machines. As a family that often sufferers from allergies this is especially important as it doesn’t take much to get us all congested.

We’ve all had a go and it receives a unanimous thumbs up! Plus it scores highly on the Star Wars blaster look-alike scale and the Little Man has defeated germs and dust bunnies of galactic proportions.

I would also recommend popping over to their Home of the House-Proud site which is jam packed with tips on how to get the best out of your Morphy Richards products.

Mummy Musings reviews Vorticity

By Tom Craik | 18.02.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning, Product Reviews

After spotting a Tweet from @B4kersgirl about her vacuum cleaner not being up to tackling her new carpet, we stepped in and sent her brand new Vorticity to trial.

You can read her thoughts below – or click here to read the original post on her blog, Mummy Musings.

Those of you who follow me on Twitter may have seen me getting rather excited, just before Christmas, about the impending arrival of my new living room carpet. No, I’m not a crazy person but we’d not had a living room carpet since we moved house which had been over a year ago and I couldn’t wait!

I picked a lovely thick pile carpet which I absolutely love but knew my old vacuum cleaner wouldn’t stand up to the challenge so asked on Twitter, as you do, for advice. A lovely man from Morphy Richards saw my plight and contacted me asking if I’d like to be sent a new Vorticity. Well I was hardly going to say no was I?

What I like about the Vorticity is its ability to be used on any floor surface. We have laminate, tiles and different pile carpets in our house and the Vorticity works great on them all. It’s so much easier to run it over the laminate in the hallway than having to go and find the sweeping brush, sweep the dirt into a pile, make sure the dog or child doesn’t walk/play in it while you fetch the dustpan and brush….

It’s not too heavy either. I swapped the regular head for the mini one to do the stairs and found it quite easy to hold while I vacuumed, much more so than attempting it with my old upright vacuum cleaner. It also has a handy tool storage facility that’s clipped to the tube; no more rummaging around in drawers to find the tool you need.

Another feature I like is how easy it is to empty. Simply push one button to release the bin from the rest of the vacuum then another releases the bottom and the dirt is emptied.

Overall I’ve been really impressed with the Vorticity. The husband is just impressed I’m using a vacuum cleaner.

94% of Argos customers would recommend Vorticity to a friend

By Tom Craik | 15.02.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning

Customers that have bought the Vorticity vacuum cleaner from Argos have been unanimous in their enthusiasm for the product and 94% of them would recommend it to a friend.

Denise from Devon, who gave the cleaner 5 out of 5 stars, said:

“This is an amazing vacuum cleaner. My old one had a short lead and would lose suction really quickly. This one has a very long lead, so I don’t need to keep changing plugs and the suction power is fantastic. It’s really easy to empty it and clean the filter. It’s a little bit weighty, but the ‘roller ball’ wheels make it really easy to pull around.

I went to the Morphy Richards website where you can watch videos about how everything works – it helped me decide to buy this product – and I’m so glad I did!!! I would highly recommend buying this vacuum and I would certainly buy one again.”

Mere Male from Sussex was equally impressed:

“First impressions are very good after less than a month of use. Suction is superb and the ability to remove dirt from both tiled floors and carpets, including the stairs, is most effective. It appears to be essential to keep the cleaning head flat on the floor for optimum results. The filter is extremely easy to clean and emptying out the dust collected is a doddle.
We purchased this to replace an extremely expensive, internationally acclaimed up-right cleaner which, whilst a “Rolls Royce” of cleaners, has proven much too heavy for general use in our pretty basic semi-detached house and so far we are delighted.”

Unique Lady from London much prefers the Vorticity to her previous machine:

“I brought this to replace my Dyson which had finally packed up after a lot of years serv ice. This model was on offer and I decided to take the risk….I will not be buying Dyson again, this is quieter, more efficient at cleaning on both my wooden and carpeted floors and half the weight to move around. An excellent purchase and would recommend.”

DEPTH Testing at Morphy HQ

By Tom Craik | 01.02.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Garment Care, Household Cleaning, Ironing, Kitchen

Our products embark on quite a journey to get from concept to reality and one of the most crucial stages in that development process is a rigorous testing regime to ensure that the highest quality standards are met. At Morphy Richards, we take this very seriously indeed!

DEPTH is our dedicated research and testing lab (it stands for Design Engineering Product Technology Hub) and it’s where all the behind-the-scenes magic happens. Opening in 2009, it’s since been instrumental in keeping us at the forefront of industry innovation across a number of different product areas.

As well as being an advanced testing centre, it’s home to an innovation workshop for prototyping and model making, and a boffin-friendly brainstorming centre, making it a one stop shop for state-of-the art product development.

Housing 16 different testing machines (including two robotic arms) and various state of the art electronic control devices, we can test up to a 156 products at any one time.

To truly get a sense of what goes on, you have to see it in action. In the video below, our design and innovation manager explains how the Vorticity vacuum cleaner was tested before hitting the shelves and how the concept of its revolutionary floorhead was developed.

Jo Beaufoix reviews Vorticity vacuum cleaner

By Tom Craik | 01.02.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning, Product Reviews

The lovely Jo, who writes at Jo Beaufoix, has been trialing the Vorticity vacuum cleaner over the last week or so and, going by her review below, she’s been having lots of fun. You can read the original post here

Morphy Richards give blogger a new pet

I am cleaning my house with a dinosaur.

No really I am.

It stalks from room to room destroying everything in its path. It has decimated the dirt on my stairs, gobbled my living room carpet to cleanliness, and slicked the dust from my laminate floored kitchen like a small child’s finger oe’r the top of a French Fancy.

It has also sucked up one of Miss E’s socks, several beads, a paper clip and pretty much a whole head full of hair ( yep, still moulting).

Except it isn’t really a dinosaur.

That would be silly.

But I blame Morphy Richards for that as they have given it a dinosaur-like name…in my head.

NO not Barney. Tsk!

This is a velociraptor

This is a vorticity vacuum

I prefer the vaccuum.

A few facts:

The Morphy Richards Vorticity Vacuum differs from other vacuums in that it uses air in a completely different way.

No really!

Its defining feature is the floorhead, which uses the power of 22 mini cyclones to draw in ambient air and force it down, dislodging particles of dust, dirt and other undesirables from in between carpet fibres and floorboards.

The bagless cylinder uses cyclonic technology to prevent the filters from clogging, keeping suction at a constant high level. It also uses a HEPA filtration system, which traps 99.7% of dust and other allergens that often escape into the air after cleaning, which is great for allergy sufferers.

Prices start at £199.99 and I think it’s pretty fantastic. It’s easy to use, looks kind of cool and has made a real difference to my carpets.

In short, it sucks, but in a good way.

P.P.S I was gifted the Velocity by the lovely folks at Morphy Richards. I declined the velociraptor.

Vorticity impresses on Amazon

By Tom Craik | 31.01.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning, Product Reviews

The Vorticity vacuum cleaner continues to excite top reviewers in the Amazon community.

‘smyth86′ was impressed with its ease of use, manoeuvrability, versatility and quietness.

Wow what a vacuum cleaner this is! I have hated doing any form of vacuuming. But then I have always had an upright one. This is my first pull along one and it just makes things so much easier. The nozzle itself is really light and moves around the floor so easily. There are many different contraptions available for getting into tight corners for example. All the accessories fit onto the vacuum cleaner with ease and all can be attached with a simple unclipping.

Vacuum cleaners usually mean you have to shout to speak to anyone but this one is possibly the quietest I’ve known. Granted, your partner won’t appreciate you starting the vacuuming whilst watching her favourite program but it is certainly better than many others.

I would whole-heartedly recommend this vacuum cleaner to anyone. Certainly better than many uprights.

Vorticity review on Time Management Mum

By Tom Craik | 04.01.2011 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning, Product Reviews

A busy Christmas period is liable leave your carpets, upholstery and surfaces caked in dust, dirt and grime and it’s often a mammoth task to get your place looking ship shape afterwards. Our new friend Nadine Hill put our Vorticity vacuum cleaner to the test on her festive mess and kindly took the time to share her thoughts on her blog, Time Management Mum.

She writes about time management, getting things done, personal development and empowering other women, so after you’ve read her review post, make sure to check out the rest of her blog. Maybe you’ll pick up some useful tips that you can apply to your own lives.

We’ve reproduced her review below, but you can read the original entry here.

Review: Morphy Richards Vorticity Plus a Massive 50% off for my Readers!

Welcome! To get started, read this to learn more about me and this post shows you the pictures!

**This is a Product Review Post**

Product Name: Vorticity Vacuum by Morphy Richards
Buy Online Here: See at the end of the post for a special discount!
Here’s a link to the general product site www.vorticityvacuums.com
Price: £199.99 or £219.99 depending on the spec
Star Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

The blurb: It’s a vacuum cleaner called Vorticity and it differs from other vacuums on the market in that it uses air in a completely different way. It’s defining feature is the floorhead, which uses the power of 22 mini cyclones to draw in ambient air and force it down, dislodging particles of dust, dirt and other undesirables from in between carpet fibres and floorboards. This means that even dirt that is stuck on gets sucked up.
This vacuum will make the cleaning less of a chore and should dramatically speed up the process. Work-at-home mums and business owners don’t want to be bogged down by housework when they should be getting other things done and investing in a good quality vacuum cleaner could help minimise time spent doing this.

Initial Thoughts: Well – I love a good challenge so when I read that this vac will suck up even stuck on dirt, this was my focus! I started glaring at my carpet with a beady eye to find dried cat vomit, the kids discarded pez sweets or some muck from my builder husbands boots’ to tackle – all of which are usually staples on my living room carpet. But on the day I wanted to trial the vac, there was nothing! Only the usual carpet dirt- biscuit crumbs and bits of shredded tinsel from my daughter’s cheerleader pom poms – this wasn’t a challenge! This was dirt that moved! Anyway FYI – the Vorticity sucked it up! There was also a gobstopper sized bit of artificial Christmas tree that one of the cats had pulled off and was using as a play toy. Normally I would pick up any larger bits of debris before running the vac over the rest of the floor, but today I wanted to throw something at the vac, and it just swept over the bit of tree and neatly sucked it up – no getting stuck in the tubes for this vacuum!! Result!

I Liked: I loved the way the vacuum looked. I know it shouldn’t matter what something looks like as long as it does the job, but it was a bit trendy, which made me happy! The floorhead nozzle with the cyclones in it was really easy to manoeuvre, especially in awkward places and I could get right under some of my higher furniture that shows the carpet, which I couldn’t do with my usual upright vac without having to dismantle it to use the hose attachment. The vac itself was a little heavy to carry, but when you have it in the room, the hose is long enough to do what you need to without moving too much, and it is on wheels too so it follows you round. It is just if you carry the vac upstairs for example, it’s heavy, but I suppose most vacs are. I loved how easy it was to empty and I was amazed by how much dirt was in the chamber. Now before you cast me as a sloven housekeeper who never cleans, and therefore has loads of dirt, I should say that I have a cleaner who comes weekly, so the house is kept up to standard!

I wasn’t Keen: I trialled the vac on my kitchen floor too, where there were a few bits of dried on dirt. Some crusty Weetabix dropped by my 3YO and some other dried up spill, but I have to say this was where I was a little let down by the Vorticity. It wouldn’t pick up these bits and it was a wooden floor – I’d imagine, a lot easier to collect from than a carpet. I had to dislodge the bits of dirt with my fingernail before the Vorticity sucked it up. To be fair, dried on Weetabix is like cement, but my dishwasher copes with it on bowls so I was kind of hoping the Vorticity would win on Weetabix too, sadly it didn’t.

Overall: This vacuum was really good. It did the job quickly and neatly and was easy to use. There was just one thing I was confused about when setting it up in the first place. I clicked all the parts into place according to the instructions, but on the bit where the hose meets the body of the vac, it didn’t ‘click’ into place, just sat there so I was unsure if I’d done it right! Everything worked ok and nothing fell apart whilst cleaning but I would have liked a satisfying ‘click’ when I pieced it all together! The things that please some people eh? But R&D people – if you are reading, this would have made me feel more satisfied.

Time management is a big passion of mine – I love to get things done more effectively and with less fuss – especially boring things like cleaning. Let’s face it – who would rather clean the house than snuggle up with the kids on the sofa watching a Disney DVD with a bowl of microwave popcorn? So products like this help me create more time to do what I really want to be doing. I love how we are living in more enlightened times now where big companies listen to us mums who are using their stuff, and not just pushing products onto us in a ‘sell, sell sell’ mode. The nice chap who does PR and Social Media for Morphy Richards, Tom, told me about their blog and social community portal www.homeofthehouseproud.com which I have ‘Liked’ on Facebook. I want to hear what other real people think and any tips, and you can get that here so if you want a nice home, check it out!

Christmas cleaning tips

By Tom Craik | 21.12.2010 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning

Christmas is approaching, signalling a revolving door of friends, relatives, their children, and potentially lots of mess. Everyone wants their home to look its best at this special time of year, but in between all the shopping, eating and celebrating, it’s often difficult to find any time to devote to the all important task of domestic beautification.

Our cleaning experts had a long chat over a mulled wine last night, and they’ve devised a list of top tips to make things that little bit easier to manage.

Clear some space

Less is more in the Christmas home, so before each room becomes stuffed with presents and decorations, why not clear away some of the clutter that is usually on display. You’ll need all the extra space you can get to accommodate your guests, and if people are staying the night, make sure you de-clutter the guest rooms too!

Implement a day by schedule

Cleaning the house in one sitting is too much to handle for all but the most accomplished of domestic goddesses. Why not tackle the big clean up a day at a time, a task at a time? Day one could be devoted to de-cluttering, day two to dusting down surfaces and decorations, day three to vacuuming from top to bottom and so on. Even the kids can help. Remember, delivering a magical Christmas is a team effort!

Make your house smell like Santa’s Grotto

The mixture of food, alcohol and sweaty bodies can make your house smell stale. It’s worth investing in some festive fragrances to give the whole house a lift.

Tackling red wine spills

Burgundy stains are an ever-present burden on the festive home. White wine neutralises the colour and makes it easier for you to lift it off the carpet, so make sure you have a cheap bottle of Chardonnay on hand at all times.

Persisting with pine needles

If you’re lucky enough to have a real Christmas tree, getting pine needles out of the carpet can be a real chore. Rather than leaving them to pile up, try to address the area every few days. We’ve heard a number of painstaking solutions, including handpicking needles out of the carpet, or applying duct tape to the area, but using a good quality vacuum cleaner is the most efficient solution. With 22-mini cyclones built into the floorhead, the Morphy Richards Vorticity directs air into the carpet fibres, dislodging embedded pine needles before sucking them up

To learn more about the Vorticity vacuum cleaner visit www.vorticityvacuums.com

Dealing with dirty footwear

After all that work you’ve put in to buffing your kitchen floor and vacuuming that beautiful cream carpet, the last thing you want to happen is to discover dirty footprints. If you’ve got lots of people coming and going, it’s often useful to put a clearly marked blackbag at the door to deposit soggy wellies, trainers and shoes.

If you’ve got any festive cleaning tips of your own, we’d love to add them to the list. Drop us a note in the comments box below!

Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy? – Vorticity Review

By Tom Craik | 14.12.2010 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning, Product Reviews

Over the last month or so, we’ve enjoyed a succession of glowing Vorticity reviews from members of the mummy blogging community. The latest in the long line of Vorticity converts is Laura Driver, who writes at the über popular blog, Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy?. You can read exactly how she got on below (or click here to read her original post)

I have to admit when the Vorticity arrived I stood back and let The Husband construct it. I’m used to upright vacuum cleaners and wasn’t sure where to start in putting the Vorticity together.

The Husband had no trouble at all, the instructions were clear.

Apparently …it differs from other vacuums on the market in that it uses air in a completely different way. It’s defining feature is the floorhead, which uses the power of 22 mini cyclones to draw in air and force it down, dislodging particles of dust, dirt and other undesirables from in between carpet fibres and floorboards. This means that even dirt that is stuck on gets sucked up.

It’s got a HEPA filter too, which means 97.7% of allergens are trapped.

I have enjoyed using the Vorticity. Yes ENJOYED using a vacuum cleaner. I know, bonkers.

I like the fact that, unlike our upright, we don’t need to adjust the setting when going from hard floors to carpet. I like that the Vorticity follows you round like a dog, which confuses our dog. I like that it has super suction. I also like the fact that when it’s not in use it sort of folds into itself and stands up instead of looking like a dead snake like other similar vacuums. I love the fact that if you pull on the power cord it just whizzes back into the unit.

Every time I use it I find something new to like. Yesterday I discovered that the handle extends for us tall folk.

The Vorticity gave the dog hair situation a run for it’s money. Our dog moults 365 days a year. It didn’t fail but it wasn’t totally successful. But, in the Vorticity’s defence, we’ve never found a vacuum which is totally successful in 8 years of our dog’s moulting.

We love the Vorticity. Our old upright is sulking, somewhere, upstairs.

Vorticity is a hit with Mum and her boys

By Tom Craik | 03.12.2010 | Posted in Floor Care, Household Cleaning, Product Reviews

We got chatting to blogger and freelance journalist Ellen Arnison about her housework strategy and she was keen to put one of our “fancy pants” products through its paces. She’s been giving the Vorticity the family treatment over the last week and you can read her thoughts below (or see here for her original post).

In some ways it’s been a happy week domestically…

For one, the Panther of News was off work. His notion of idle afternoons saving a virtual universe didn’t quite match the reality, but on the other hand, my vision of having my own husband-shaped Nigella/Miss Moneypenny sorting out the household Stuff wasn’t quite reality either. Still, while I was out cutting a rich seam at the coalface of truth (If you don’t believe me, read about how The X Factor stars were spotted in Airdrie) it was jolly nice to find the homefires had been stoked.

And for two, a very nice man called Tom from Morphy Richards came by the Palace of Bundance and read my post about Housework Half Hour. He said he had a fancy-pants vacuum cleaner (can’t use the H word) that was better than all the others (even the one that begins with D) and that we could have a go for Housework Half Hour.

Much excitement when the box containing the Vorticity arrived. Boys One and Two helped unpack and assemble, or at least they did until they clocked on to the fact it was for them to use. By then though, Boy Three had fallen in love. He wouldn’t let anyone else have a look-in. Great, you’d think, but toddlers are only any good at cleaning one smallish patch of floor for long periods at a time.

So while I like the Vorticity very much – it nippy and light but seems to suck like a good ‘un. We can only use it after Boy Three is in bed, luckily it’s quite quiet and gets the job done fast. Boy Two likes the way the flex winds itself up and Boy One is unnaturally fascinated by the whole vortex thing.

In case you care: Vorticity is a concept used in fluid dynamics. In the simplest sense, vorticity is the tendency for elements of the fluid to “spin”.

Not quite sure how that applies to the dry stuff that goes into the cleaner, but however it does it, it does it well.

But nice man Tom, how are you going to help us solve our new problem of Boy Three’s passion for your machine?
