Today is a big day. And that’s not just because it’s a Friday. It’s not even just because it’s John Travolta’s birthday. Nope. Today is a big day because it’s the first time that our video team (Gabe and Matt to be precise) are tackling what is probably your most requested How To video.

As you may well know we’re big fans of the Sebo X1 here at eSpares. Last week Helen shot a couple more videos for it, and showed that even replacing the carbon brushes and motors are easy peasy to fit.

It really is the worst when you’re unloading the dishwasher and you notice all the stuff that was meant to have been washed has still got the crusty remains of last night’s dinner all over it. If crusty crockery is bothering you, check out this little gem of a video. In it, Matt takes you through the causes of, and solutions for, your dishwasher not cleaning properly.

Just found this Hotpoint advert from the 1950s, aired just before something called ‘The Ozzie and Harriet Show‘. Strange, seeing the dishwasher as a modern invention. I just feel sorry for the guys in the ’40s.

On Friday we filmed a load of videos for the Sebo X1 vacuum, and I’ve got to say, as nerdy as it sounds, I fell in love with it. It’s a brilliantly simple, solidly put together piece of kit. The choice of hotel room service providers the world over, this vacuum is really reliable, and all the parts are interchangeable and an absolute doddle to fit. So if you’re a Sebo connoisseur, here’s what to do if your X1 is losing suction. Enjoy.

Last week I blogged about all the planning and preparation that goes in to a day of shooting How-To videos. We shot the videos on Friday, so I thought it only right that now I should let you know what goes in to an actual shoot day.

You may or may not remember a post I made a few months ago introducing our new video series. ‘How Appliances Work’ I called it. A pretty succinct title if you ask me. In the second in the series, Matt explains how deceptively simple washing machines really are.

January is traditionally a month in which people knuckle down and try to stick to their resolutions. Gym membership applications go through the roof, schedules are cleared for family time… if you think about it, it’s actually a positive and uplifting time of year.

You’ve got to hand it to Electrolux. They launched their ‘Vac from the Sea‘ campaign last year, aiming to highlight ‘the immediate need for the world to take better care of plastics and support the heroes that do’. A noble cause, I’m sure you’ll agree. To highlight the problem, they’ve harvested plastic debris from ocean sites around the world where ‘the plastic problem is immense’, and created unique, fully working vacuums based on the Electrolux Ultra One Green model.
