Bagless isn't a stupid gimmick - not only that, but it's not the only design feature of dysons.
Yes it is - they just fill the house with dust.
Dysons also break down - a lot.

Hmm as an asthmatic I specifically chose the Dyson because it had dual filters (one washable filter and one permanent HEPA filter). I believe it was actually recommended by the Allergy Foundation.

Like I said, one breakdown in ten years and that was user stupidity.

Miele. In fact Miele for all appliances.
Definitely find the cylinder one easier to use, less weight to push around.
Mine was around £150, not everything made by Miele is mega expensive.

Another vote for Miele Cat & Dog - we have a couple of collies which shed hair by the bucket load and the Miele blasts through it all, along with chewed stick, ripped up toilet rolls and anything else that finds its way onto the carpet. It has a beater bar head, and a mini version for upholstery.
I bought a 20 pack of bags for £20 and a bag lasts about a fortnight. I'd reckon they'd last a month or more in a dog free house.We've had a few Dysons at our work, and they've generally been very poor performance-wise. I'd not spend the money on one myself.

kirby g4 bought it in 96 still going strong sucks like an elephant, no repairs no breakdowns, not cheap though i paid £700 for the then outdated g4 (g5 was the new model retailing at more than £1100).

think about it though 14yrs old and still going strong thats only £50 per year for a faultless machine that does an excellent job and comes with carpet washer gear too!.

We just bought a james - ie a simplified henry (if that is possible). The suction is so strong that we find it hard to push along the carpet even with the breather open. Definately a case of too much of a good thing.

Where did you get the Miele bags for £20? We have tried cheaper alternatives to the Miele bags but they just didnt work.
That would be my only critisism of the Cat & Dog that the bags dont last that long. Having said that we for the last year we have been using it on brand new wool carpets so I guess they do fill up quicker.
