Dyson are not bad, ours lasted several years until the motor started arcing across, brushes worn out. A replacement motor was about £20, and it works fine.

Our Hoover is working well again now, after I cleaned the filters out, with the help of our Henry...... :y :y

A quick application of the compressor usually sorts her dyson out.

Well, the Henry seems to be getting a good press on here! :y

Perhaps I should do a Daz and get a pink Hetty for SWMBO.  :-X ;) :D

These have held their price..

In the early 80's an NV250, the industrial metal Henry, which we have, was £99.99 retail and the domestic, plastic Henry was £79.99 retail.... :) We used to buy them at 40% discount plus a further 15%, doubt dealers get that margin nowadays.... ::) ::) ::)

To be honest though they are not much use in the house if you have a pet, unless you have a turbo head.. :) :)

Most cleaning firms use Henry's so that should suggest Henrys are best.

Mind you most cleaning firms ive come across are crap.

But i'd still buy a Henry every time (got two actually) one in the garage and one in the house.
