Wertheim The Swift Cyclonic

Had mine for years, still runs without fault – Had mine for years, still runs without fault. Some of the bristle on the roller have started to erode away, but still cleans without issue.
OK – It's a question of what suits you really, personally I would rather something else. Pricewise it was well compared with others on the market. Convenient, no need for large sterilising units Leaks sometimes and the teat has a tendency to suck in on itself.
Great cleaner, really gets the dirt out well – this little beast does an excellent job, sucks great, the power head frees up most hooked in items. only down side is that while it came with a spare filter, you cant seem to buy replacements anywhere and while you can blow them out, they do eventually just block up so badly that the vac will only run for about 3-4 min before it overheats. I've used this in my shop for over a year, and changed the filter about 6 months ago then it started overheating, now the second filter is had it and I can find a replacement.
I now have to vacuum my shop in 3 stages, with an hour in between for it to cool down.
Still does an excellent job, just won´t run for long. Great cleaner, really gets the dirt out well. Cant buy replacement filters, so once it is stuffed, so is the vac.
Easy sorted. Love the cleaner. I had a Vax for years, carpet got dirtier and dirtier, to the point I had the unit serviced to no improvement. I bought "the Swift" to find the same issue with the filter. A soak once when new ceared most of the the dirt. I wouldn't do it too often though. Then I realised that a strip of dishcloth (Chux) wrapped around the filter, held in place with a rubber band, provided a removable filter that could be washed and replaced with out issue. Alternatively, the chux can be covered with the toe end of a cut up sock, placed over the filter, it stops even more dust getting caught up in the fins of the filter.
Love the clear chamber, empty it after every use and wash components for next use. Easy.
Top tip: Place a used teabag in the dust canister, to kill dust mites.
Godfreys sell replacement filters.
Terrible – Lasted 14 months so just out of warranty then stopped dead. Basically a piece of junk. Keep looking there's no doubt better out there. Compact size and extra tools are excellent Extremely loud. Filter needs cleaning after every use. Generally high maintenance.

Can anyone tell me how to get a dam replacement filter, it is such a great little machine, and such a tiny aspect being getting hold of a new fiter turns something good into something throw away. Anyone who can source these filters, please email me at csweeney1972@gmail.com. , my best regards, if you can find them....go for a job in materials management and purchasing :)
