Which Vac?

[vernon]

Henrys are good but a bit awkward on stairs. I have solved this slight issue by hoovering very rarely.

Buy a bungalow.

Miele or Sebo, for large floor area, Henry for the more complicated bits.

Not A Dyson fan useless rubbish, plus the man himself is buying lots of farm land to avoid tax.

Buy a bungalow.

Would that be more cost efficient than getting a cast-off butler from you or Rocky?

The best hoover i think we have had was the Constellation, it used to float about so easy, really was a great hoover imo. >

Edit, Thought i'd add, Also if you plugged the hose in underneath the hoover, it was a good blower as well. Don't seem to see that function on todays hoovers.

Still got one in Dads garage, still working

I pay my butler in bungalows.

@User14044 pays his in sheds.

Dyson is ok but the filter cleaning is a pain, the Henry you can buy a re-useable bag, works well but a bit messy when emptying.

Back in the day, hoover bags were easily emptied. It feels wrong to throw away a Henry bag as they're so robust. It takes about 20 minutes, and a load of dust up your schnozzer, to empty the feckers though.

I've not had this much fun since Rich's cooker hood dilemma.

 

[Turbo Rider]

Of course, there is also the question of what you actually need it for....

I wonder if Vernon's butler empties or bins Henry's bags. 20mins of dust up the nose while emptying a bag sounds horrid, but throwing away perfectly good bags seems wasteful.

I have a Henry and recommend it, powerful and reasonably priced.
Has an expensive Dyson before, would'nt buy another one.

Henry gets my vote. Although I have a handheld dyson at work and for awkward bits and stairs it's great.

My butler uses a Dyson to suck the muck out of Henry's bag.

 

[Lullabelle]

We have a Dyson, light, easy to use and very good, It is way better than the vax we used to have.

Ours is over 10 years old and still working brilliantly. Bought one for the office which is about 12 years old now and also still works like new.

Miele here. All good. We've had a couple of Dysons but, as someone has already said, bits keep breaking. Never again.

Dyson did get manufacturers to rethink design for the better tho'. Pity the materials used are cr&p
