What's best
Any recommendations ? Muddy bikes fault we need a new one !!!
Henry Hoover
Henry (well i've got a james as it was on offer)
Just works, never had to do anything to it and sucks up a lot more stuff than my old hoover that was on paper twice as powerful.
Just got a George.
Very impressed so far.
Replaced a Tesco cheap own brand that was a Which? best buy about 20 years ago.
Still have a Kirby that Mrs S has had for years - awful.
Make a good anchor.
For carpets and hard floors I'd recommend a Dyson. I just bought a hand-held Dyson ('fluffy') to help with the stairs. I got fed up of being the only one brave enough to use the DC50 on the stairs.
If you want to suck up fine dust (plaster) or chunks (cardboard, paper, big bits of food) a Dyson is not for you. They choke on chunks.
I just like the Dyson design and the ability to see and hear when it is working or struggling.
I've used Henrys and the like in commercial settings. They're fine. They really work in workshops and the like.
used a Kirkby. They're...heavy. And expensive.
Used Dysons in work and they do work very well.
Went for a Numatic after seeing what our builder's Henry coped with.
🙂
Not buying a Dyson again after that fool promoted Brexit.
And obviously no more JCBs for me either

Dyson for a quick spin around, day to day stuff. For the heavy stuff (DIY or lately sawdust in the garage) a [url= https://www.kaercher.com/uk/home-garden/vacuums/wet-and-dry-vacuum-cleaners/wd2-16297630.html ]Karcher[/url] does a very nice job.
Just don't try and drag it around, it acts like a drunk kitten 😀
Bought one of the Dyson cordless things recently and its brilliant. Small, powerful, wall mountable and convenient.
Had a Henry before it and although that was better than the very first Dyson (which was crap) the new Dyson we have is fantastic.
Battery lasts for ~10mn, but I find that you use it differently. A bit here and there rather than spending an hour and cleaning the whole house.
dyson handhelds are sublime in use, but bloody awful when it comes to emptying them.
No doubt the chaps and girls in charge of aerodynamics and airflow and conical bollox etc are all utter geniuses, but the tossers that are in charge of how the crap is collected and emptied should be shot.
The only vacuum I've owned that requires a chopstick and an airline to empty it.
But, it is reet nice to wander around the house with though.
I'll get a GRAM next time though,

Have both here. G-Tech is good but not as powerful as Dyson. It's good for 'top up' vacuuming during the week.
We have a Dysoncordless, a Miele and a Henry. Henry is perfect workshop, plaster, garage but shit around the house. Dyson very convenient for quick jobs but shit to empty and doesn't like building waste. Miele is quicker to use than Dyson for the whole house, does a better job, is easy to empty and will cope with larger crap.
Dyson gets used most. Miele is best.
2 Dysons here, a push around and a cordless. Ideal for a modern house with young kids.
