Another one here for Henry hoovers

Had our one for two years with no issues

Also have six at work which are used by each shift (3 shifts in total) to clean their machines at the start of each shift (lots of debris in each machine) along with sucking up any crap off the floor like leaves, elastic bands, paper, pieces of wood from pallets and anything else someone decides to drop and not pick up

They get kicked, smacked into things, run without a bag in them, generally abused and they have been faultless in six years hence i bought one for at home

Miele here. Replaced henry, who has an honorary plaque in the shed for distinguished service. 😉
Don’t think I’ll ever buy another Dyson.

I've got a very old Henry (15+?) and the smiling red-faced chap refuses to die despite the abuse.

I'm thinking of using it as an ash vacuum for the woodburner as he likes being punished so much

It's not the best for large areas of carpet though.

My Vax cylinder for pets has hepa filter came with two different heads plus nozzle attachment and is too powerful if anything, only 800 watts but can almost lift the carpet up if you don't open the vent on the handle.

Our Dyson Animal was like trigger's broom, but we paid £5 a month extended warrenty and it needed it. Replaced with a steerable VAX and it's been reliable so far - 5 years in. Will probably go Shark next.

Shark here, absolute cracker. Previous was a £30 Vax thing that was better than the Dyson crap. How they still sell I do not know.

No, I'm definitely not allergic to ours.
