I want an upright vacuum that's good for carpet pile,I have short cut pile carpet and want something that keeps the pile fluffed up.
Especially on the stairs.
I have a dyson which is rubbish and a vax with a Turbo brush which is good but heavy and cumbersome.
I don't mind the cost but would love some suggestions,do Henry's come in uprights?.
Thanks.

Have you thought about Miele :rotfl:

The ten best vacuum cleaners




Henry
If you're looking for a vacuum cleaner that can take some punishment and still last for years, take a look at the one most builders use. The appearance may be gimmicky, but this is a hardwearing, powerful cleaning machine.
Price: £98.99

Just to correct you on a point about the electrically driven brushes. Miele also supply actually 2 versions of electrically driven brushes for all of their cylinders.

I didn't know this. Last time i asked at a miele dealer i was told they didn't. Can you please paste a link for the "2 versions of electrically driven brushes for all of their cylinders".
Thanks

the cost of buying bags + a henry will far outway the price difference of a dyson , 100 bags cost approx £50 which will outlast the lifetime of a dyson if you allow 1 bag per month ,

Interesting thread!

Im looking for a new vacuum as my Dyson has stopped sucking. I was going to buy the Meile cat and dog vacuum, but now ive seen the Henry turbo vacuum, with the electric turbo brush. These cost £160, and the meile cost £180.

I have a dog, so picking up hairs is a high priority.
The miele has twice the power of the Henry, but the Henry has an electric power brush instead of an air-powered brush.

Which would be better?

1 bag a month is a lot as the Henry bags are huge. Also you buy bags in 5 or 10 packs, so the cost gets spread over several years, so you hardly notice it.

Hi

I would suggest going to a retailer that has these cleaners on display and can demostrate them. I think you will be more impressed with the Miele as it is more refined.

I know that miele make the best cylinder machines in terms of refinement and filtration. The problem is that you're on a money saving site.
The machine is similar in vacuuming performance to a Henry but uses 2 x the power to enable air to be pulled through the restrictive 9 layer bags, exhaust & hepa filter. The bags and filters are expensive and the bags half the size of a henry. To get the benefit of the filtration system you need to buy genuine miele bags and replace your £20 hepa filter once per year. If you dont do this then you will not have the filtration system benefits. Most people cut costs and buy cheap bags/filters to cut cost and end up with a machine 2 x the price of a henry but without the filtration benefits, so they might as well have bought a henry that they can use for serious DIY!
What i dont understand is why anyone needs a filtration system that puts out air cleaner than the air in the room? If you only use it for 2 minutes in a room (so they claim), 2 days per week, what about the other 99.9% of the time that it's not on or do people leave them on all day when it's not vacuuming?

LOL!!! Yes this is a money saving site and without question Miele produce a very good vacuum cleaner that will out last virtually every other vacuum cleaner on the market - what's not money saving about that. I don't know anyone with a Miele vacuum cleaner that doesn't use the genuine bags. It would be like having a Ferrari and then putting re-moulds on it!

I think what you don't get is that Miele's whole philosophy is to design and produce the best appliances it possibly can. 2 Of its company motos are 'Immer Besser' = 'Forever Better' and 'Without Compromise' these are fundamental core values to the company and have been up held ever since its conception in 1899 and is still family owned and run in its 4th generation of Miele and Zinkan families.

I bought an LG after reading the survey on Good Housekeeping. Its probably the best I've ever had (cylinders, upright, bagged, bagless) Gets pet hairs up - we have a long haired cat. Does my kitchen/breakfast room tiles, dining room laminate & short & long pile carpet. I just make sure I empty it after every use 'cos it sucks up so much! My only gripe is that the 'stay' to keep it locked upright isnt very good which can be a nuisance when using the hose - I'd buy another one though as I paid about £75 in Comet for it and I've had it 3/4 years now & its had hard use!
