Get a Henry. :y
Seconded, although avoid the cheaper model as they have crap motors that only last a couple of years  :y

We bought our Henry Plus back in 99 and it performs just as well now as it did when new, the only money we have spent on it in that time is the cost of a replacement hose.

New motor and motor housing ordered.


As to them being shite, I'd like to agree. Not entirely sure I can. Certainly not fantastic, but unfair to say shite.

My DC04, a million years old, has had a couple of mains leads, a couple of hoses, and this will be its 4th motor. If you saw the way it was treated, that's not bad IMHO.


A friend, a good friend we sometimes holiday with, owns a tool hire biz.  In a druken state, up in the hills between Coral Bay and Latchi, I asked him what he hired out. Expecting him to say Kirby/Henry/Nilfisk etc, I was knocked out when he said Dyson. Properly serviced, they give him little trouble. Shocked.

Dug out the old Vax, so she could vac the place. Great suction - will suck a golfball through a hose better than any tart - but a bit bulky/annoying.

She's bust that now. *sigh*
