    Me thinks you've probably posted this in the wrong area of the forum.

    But is it a Hoover or a vacuum cleaner you are wanting?
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    I have a Henry(the girl version Hetty) and it's totally fab! Better than the top end dysons i've had.

    I've just bought my second Dyson (the animal ball one) and it is fantastic, worth every penny in my opinion!

    I have Henry (male one), i've had dyson and it shredded my carpets never again.

    Henry is great, i dont use it much but everyone that does loves it.

    I like my Dyson but you can't be too rough with them. OH has broken two :eek:

    We've used reconditioned second hand ones which were quite cheap and have performed well.

    That sounds very much like you persuade other people to do your hoovering.:cool:

    If that's the case I would pay handsomely to learn how you get them to do this and does it work on bathrooms too? :rotfl:

  • the only reason i am buying a new one is because mine even though its going good still is very very old and was made before the invention of nozzles its over 20 years old

    so do i get an upright or a cylinder?
    do i go for a high suction
    bagless or not

    i would like one that will last me another 20yrs if possible


    im sooooo stuck
    and whats this cyclone thing

    I've had my upright dyson for 12 years.... had to replace the tube when it split last year, but that was about £4, so it's been a very good bit of kit. Got to recommend them!
    Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....

    Ahhhh I see. I did know that I remember now :o

    I'll admit when I was not mobile OH did housework. But he did so much that I felt uncomfortable, I don't do tidy :o

    I suppose I could ask the kids... but it'd take twice as long to clean up after they'd finished :eek:
