Who told you that?

Or is Dyson ads just marketing ploy, stand to reason bags get clogegd up, suction goes down the pan, and yes I have had this with old vaccum cleaners

I have lots of bagged vacuum cleaners and several Dyson. Dyson wins hands down, the latest one I got was last week with the one with a ball, its even better than my old 5 year old Dyson DC07 animal which was warn hence replaced. Its been blooming marvellous so manoeuvrable, the ball and bagless certain are no gimmick

Hi

I have sold and repaired vacuum cleaners for many years and without question the best value cleaners by an absolute mile are Miele! Nothing else comes close.

Ck aren't the bags for miele very expensive adding considerably to to the upfront cost over the life for the product?

I've just returned to Dyson and don't regret it. A couple of friends had a Miele cylinder and it was frankly rubbish - it didn't pick up anything. They too now have a Dyson.

As for repair shops being full of Dysons, surely that only proves that most people have Dysons, and want to keep them working - unlike the OP who has decided to bin their old hoover after it went wrong?

the point is that your 5 year old dyson is worn out after such a short time and at such a high price , i took our dyson in to our local repairs after the clutch went and he showed me all the dysons he had in to repair they outnumbered all the other cleaners 5-1, i have a henry that i use for work and it's getting on for 8 yrs old , takes a lot of punishment picking up dust , rubble etc but is still going strong

to the o.p are you sure it wasn't a static shock rather than from the machine ?

If Dyson outsell every other make by 5-1 then that's not an unreasonable finding is it? (I have no idea what their market share is BTW)

My Dyson replaces a SEBO which is a damn expensive machine with expensive consumables and meant to be head and shoulders above Miele. It's rubbish, the Dyson knocks it into a cocked hat.

The Dyson (the new ball one I bought) has a bagless system designed to be emptied as you go, but the design is so good that that is simple and not at all messy, you press a button and the cylinder empties into a bin and clip is back on the machine, that's it.

Hi

£8 for a box of 5 bags with filters, generally with a 3 bed house you should go through 2 boxes a year so £16.

Which I think you will find is far cheaper than the annual cost of replacement filters and belts you go through on a Dyson.

Thanks

Hi

The latest industry figures for existing Dyson customers that would replace with a Dyson is a little over 30%. Where as Miele customers that would replace with another Miele vacuum is over 94%.

The winner for me is a Henry. Its lighter than the miele, will roll anywhere with big wheels, bounce off the sofa without getting stuck, can be used bagless. The bags are half the cost of a Miele and 2 x as big. It's the choice for commercial cleaning companies because it can be abused and represents the best overall value for money for a reason. Durable and cheaper over time than a miele or dyson. When consider the long term use, repairs, cost etc, a henry is chosen by companies who clean - need i say more... When was the last time you saw a professional cleaner in a company using a dyson or miele?

I have an LG upright bagless, not the one you mention but I bought it after my 2nd Dyson went wrong. I bought it from an ebay seller and it's great, really good suction, long nossel attachments as well that I use on the stairs. Had it 2 years ow without any issues.

Vacuums with bags just make me shudder, all those nasties living in there especially if the post above says you don't have to replace very often.

I empty my bagless every vacuum. I have cream carpets that don't even look like the need a whiz over most times and the vac still picks up loads.

A recent poll suggested that 90% of statistics are rubbish.

The filters on my machine are washable and reuseable. There are no consumables for the Dyson I have.

Personally I owned a Dyson, it went on and on and on - and gave it away fully working...then I bought a SEBO as they are meant to be the dogs danglies......back to Dyson after the second SEBO packed up (gaurantee replacement for the first).

Although echoing other peoples comments I have a Henry for my warehouse office. It's a great machine until you need to do stairs.

I admire your brand loyalty, but I just buy what works, not what the badge says...I fell into that trap with the SEBO.

Then there's the small matter of the Miele's 2 year guarantee vs Dyson 5 years......If it's that good why only 2 years?

We used to get shocks from the pins of the plug on our old vacuum (can't remember the make) and we figured it was due to a build up of charge which happens after you switch it off when the motor whizzes round a little longer under it's own momentum.

We currently have a Henry and are very happy with it.
