I must be missing something blindingly obvious - Henry Hoover
Re my recent purchase of one - I'm getting more than a little fed-up with the fact that the "head" keeps coming off when hovering (ie several times per room on average).

They're the right size, around the size of your little finger nail - and several facebook friends said they look like sloes.
