Wow I honestly can't believe how you guys don't like Henry's
We've just recently converted to Henry after having 4 Dysons in as many years.
The last Dyson was nearly £300 and like the rest of them after a month or so I lose suction then had to have all the filters out and cleaned they're shite.
I called Dyson help line with the last Dyson and couldn't believe the response I got when I told her that I constantly have to have the thing in bits.
This was her response
Well Sir Dysons are not meant for excessive dust. WTF??
I must admit we are currently renovating our new home and as such there has been plenty dust etc but a £300 vac should be ample for this but no not a Dyson.
So after advice from a friend we sent the Dyson back and bought a Henry @ £99 this thing is amazing its that powerful that when you have it on the extra booster button the thing can lift the carpet from the tacs. Best thing since sliced bread.
I've used the Henry for everything since, even building dust from knocking down a wall in the house and it sucked the big bits up too. (brick dust, plaster everything)
Now if that was a Dyson I would have had to have the damn thing in bits after 10 mins of hovering.
We also have a large house with many rooms so they are not just for flats as mentioned earlier in the thread.
I think like myself we've all been sucked into the Dyson advertising. (pardon the pun
Simply put they are pants. Go get yourself a Henry and have £200 spare in your pocket.
P.S get the one with the red booster button.
