    Each to their own. We have a Miele, it' been relegated to the garage as the Dysons are so much better in the house. Dad had a Henry but we'd rather take our Dyson than use that.
    Dysons are brilliant until they stop working. Which unfortunately tends to be far quicker than the other brands people have mentioned.

    I really wanted a Henry but we ended up with a Hetty. I remember reading where someone said the new ones weren't as good as the old because of an EU law not permitting the same power level as the old ones. Not sure if we can have our old Henrys and Hettys back now?

    I've recently replaced my old Henry Extra with the latest model. I was apprehensive at first due to the reduced power level. I am actually blown away by the outstanding performance of the newer model! Highly recommended.
