Vacuum cleaners, vacuum cleaner technology - and the ban!

I've never seen a cleaner or a builder use anything other than a Henry. Mines been bomb proof and I put all kinds of DIY death through it, even cleans my driveway without a grumble. Cheap too, only about £150 for the big version.

That's brilliant. He looks and sounds exactly as I imagine a man who uploads a 48 minute video reviewing a vacuum cleaner should look and sound.

I went to school with him. He was fascinated with Vacuum Cleaners even as a young teenager.

Well this is it - they are bomb-proof, & will take abuse like no other, both outside & inside. However - that they are the choice of night-staff in our office blocks only means that they are 'good enough' at the cleaning function, for the type of floor (close, short pile) in question, & for the type of dirt in question (visible bits lying around) - however you need an airo-brush for anything like a deep clean of normal carpet, & tonnes of suction if you really want that deep-clean result. A 1200Watt Lamb motor isn't going to be as good a source of suction as a modern German motor, of almost double the Wattage. Of course - in absolute terms, a Henry is excellent - but you can go even further than that high bar, IMO.
