Henry are utterly crap. Rubbish suction,
Crap? I had to replace the nails in my floorboards with screws, as the Henry kept sucking the nails right out of the boards.The above might be an exaggeration. But, as I said in my previous post; I have both and the Dyson no longer gets used. Different with pet-hairs maybe, but for that would say an upright would be best.
Seeing all the comments relating to Dysons at the tip, reminded me of the last time I visited our local 'recycling centre' The guys there loved Dysons. Their reasons were that loads of them came in, they could negotiate with the owners to hand them over outside the gates (they are not allowed to take anything inside) then get spares, fix them and sell them at the local boot sales.
So either Dysons are really crap (my opinion) or they have a short life but are easily fixable. Whichever it is, their marketing works wonders as they are one of the biggest sellers.

you can stick your duel cyclone technology where the sun doesn't shine Mr Dyson.....although the sun does shine at your Malaysian production plant that you moved your company to......shortly after complaining that UK business's don't reinvest for the future....tosser!!!
Which in itself is a very good reason not to buy one.Miele here, it is the vacuuming 'nads. Not not for vacuuming 'nads....that would hurt.

Miele is good at pet hairs - ours has rotating brush attachments similar to an uprightThe above might be an exaggeration. But, as I said in my previous post; I have both and the Dyson no longer gets used. Different with pet-hairs maybe, but for that would say an upright would be best.

I've got a newish dyson for the carpets and another that I found left outside my old flat.So either Dysons are really crap (my opinion) or they have a short life but are easily fixable. Whichever it is, their marketing works wonders as they are one of the biggest sellers.
The only thing wrong with the scavenged one was that the brushes had stopped spinning. I use it for sucking up soot, brick dust, small rubble etc and it never has a problem.
Just remember to wash the sponge filters every now and then and it's as good as new.
They are very serviceable in my opinion.
Got a Henry recently, quiet, very good suction, huge bags and filters, I use my for hoovering up huge quantities of dust and building rubble on a regular basis. It's difficult to clog and easy to unclog (when the big bits get sucked in), and has a very neat cord tidy.
Our Dyson (DC01) is great at carpets but blocks easily and the filters are prone to causing loss of suction. The carpet beater is good though.

3 pages in, and no mention of how fecking noisy the Dysons are???
Jesus wept, they have to be THE noisiest vacuum cleaner I have ever heard!!!
At least the Henry is (reasonably) quiet!
Ah but aren't they in the process of bringing the 'digital' motor to market which is as good as silent!?Jesus wept, they have to be THE noisiest vacuum cleaner I have ever heard!!!

A vacuum cleaner is only manly enough if it can survive my "wokshop" jobs listed below...
Headgasket job related gunk, be that oil, water, coke etc
Getting the last drops of oil from the sump or diffs
Vac leak testing manifolds & such
Engine bay cleaning & related cleaning products
Lastly removing thick layers of mud from when you've been offroading & gotten it stuck so deep, its all gooed its way indoors.
I often put my uttery craply designed Draper thing through such torture, only because I hate it so much (lid falls off everytime you grab the handle)
