What vacuum cleaner?
Discussion
Can you not repair henry rather than replace him, as with all of them it is just a fan in a box. Unlike most however the Henry is supremely easy to take apart. No hidden plastic clips that snap off, just 6 proper headed screws. Normally a £10 set of brushes will resume normal service.
It remains a mystery to me why (other than marketing or fashion) people buy expensive fans in boxes.

Always had a Henry and not managed to kill it yet after 15+ years.
Although doing the Cat with it might have been where you're going wrong
Is another one not an option?
Shark does seem to be best rated out of the uprights.
Yes, also, don't take the dyson ball cleaner literally either.Although doing the Cat with it might have been where you're going wrong

Seconded.We recently bought a shark to replace an ageing dyson, I f
king hate the damn thing.
When using any of the tools or attachments it spends more time on its side or back than it does upright, the hose isn't long/flexible enough and the weight distribution just seems off.
The bristles on the nozzle/brush attachment are so flimsy they have pretty much given up after a few months use.
The bin also holds about 3 thimbles worth of fluff and dirt.
I dig the old Henry out of the garage for doing the cars, does a much better job of getting dirt out of everywhere and less hassle

very timely thread. We have a gtech airram thing - i love it. but this missus hates it and has started looking for a replacement.
Sure, it's not perfect. It gets the hump if you try and twist the head whilst vacuuming a deep pile carpet and cuts out with flashing redlights, but it's because the brushes are rotating and it senses it getting jammed.
For the convenience of a small, lightweight and cordless hoover, which sits in a specially split kitchen cupboard with charging all tucked away, i can forgive it not enjoying you being heavy handed with it.
We also have a henry in the garage for bigger work/cars - but it's just so much of a pain in the ass using it

Miele.
Always the best answer for what oven/fridge/washing machine/tumble dryer.
I have a Miele C3.
Have a read of the Vacuum Cleaners subreddit. They have several 'insiders' who sell, manufacture, repair etc.
The gist is buy Miele/Sebo. Avoid anything cordless, bagless and avoid Shark at all costs.
