Looking for a good vacuum

pinkladyof66

I am looking to buy a new vacuum last three i had were all dyson - however after paying over £200 each time for them I have found them to only last max of 1 year (no heavy use) only used a couple of times a week.

I am therefore looking for something else, has anyone any advice on what i could go for please willing to pay anything up to £150.

Thanks

They just lose suction and now the long thing that stretches wont stretch when vacuum is on. I find after about 6 months they are not as good as when purchased my sister has the same problem

Personally I would stretch to a Miele cylinder, buy cheep buy twice.

We've had several Numatic Henry hoovers and they're great, simple, light and great suction. No easily broken plastic parts or nozzles where stuff gets clogged. Can be bought for around £100.

We have one for the car and outside that must be 10 years old and still going strong.

i agree with the Miele suggestion i clean at my nan and grandads as they are in their late 80's and they have quite an old Miele pull along hoover and its fab!

Henrys are quite good, I bought mine at least twentyfive years ago and it's still going strong. Quite amazing considering what I use it for outdoors sometimes!!!!!

You can use Henrys without a bag, but I found that it takes so long to clean the filter thingy, it's much easier to use a bag.
