Am thinking of a Henry - does it have automatic rewind? Thanks

Not auto, but it's handle on the top & it coils it pretty qwik - no effort & no tangles!!

I'd recommend a Henry - the bags last for ages (or maybe i don't hoover enough!!) .

Don't forget, though, he'll clean n suck much,:j MUCH:j better with a new or 1/2 full bag, rather than really loading him!!

i had a dyson gave it away, rubbish, then an lg bagged upright.Good untill sucked up a load of long hair and it blew up but had it for about 3 years.
Needed to buy a vacuum cleaner and in true credit crunch style I opted for Tesco bagless vacuum cleaner about £40! its brilliant.Compact, variable suction for different floor types suitable for both hard floors and carpets and work brilliantly on both.Iv only had it a month but so far very impressed.Especially at that price.Looks good too.

i use a henry at work as a decorator , most people in the building trade seem to use one ,
is changing a bag really that much of an effort and cost compared to the high prices of a dyson , you can pick up a henry for £80 ish

We've got a dyson and they aren't the most reliable but they will come to yours and fix the thing (at least they did a year ago) - no matter what the problem or how old the machine it's £50. We were really pleased with that service and the dyson's run like a charm ever since. Take a look at the dyson website for details I think that's where you can book a visit.

Ive just had a George delivered and I love it! I had the Dyson animal and thought it was rubbish - we did have our Dyson for 3 years but it just couldnt cope with my long hair! x x

Miele - hands down - I love mine!

Another vote for the Miele Cat & Dog. Mine is about 9 years old and works brilliantly now.

After going through 3 dysons, we finally gave up and bought a Henry. Much more reliable!

Another vote for Henry
I shopped around and got mine with a first order discount code from Littlewoods. Storage wise he does take up a little more room than a dyson though.
The old Dyson I had didn't like all the rubble my DIY husband sucked up and used to clog up with dust all the time. I've noticed that a lot of work men seem to use a Henry including the bloke who came to fix my broken window.

My partner purchaced a dyson ball and it lost power pretty quickly due to builders using it to suck wood chippings, plaster dust etc. He sacked it off and bought a Henry - classic design, easy to maintain and effective.

I took the dyson ball home and managed to clear the blockage but the thing just seems too fussy and looks like it would break too easily with all its fiddly nick nacks. I'm considering getting rid of my old one (a 15 year old electrolux that was my late Nana's) but I'm hesitant having examined the flimsyness of the Dyson ball.
