Seat68 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I was glamoured by Vax ads a couple of years ago and now I have to tolerate a bloody awful vax cordless until it decides to die and I can get something that does what it is supposed to do. Also re Dyson, their cordless was awful when I bought one, returned so I could get a much more awful Vax, but the corded animal was excellent.

We had one of the bigger ones at work and it was cool. That was 20 years ago, and I'm not an expert. Got a Which? subscription these days They are still made in Britain, which is pretty cool.

Lichfield Dean Posted April 6, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2023 I absolutely hate our Dyson. Useless thing is basically a glorified and insanely expensive dustbuster. Give me a proper corded cleaner every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Get a tradies Titan from Screwfix. Very cheap and could suck the skin of a banana. Not great looking and they need a paper bag...but **** me it cleans the floor well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 2 hours ago, bickster said: price to performance - you'd be hard pressed to beat Henry I always wondered about the nostalgia that comes with a Henry. Loud, heavy, bulky, hits all furniture and all door frames. Runs over small pets, toes. But I guess it's got a funny face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 The one thing I have always wondered about Dyson vacuum cleaners, is how much of the satisfaction of using them, is due to the fact that you can see how much stuff you've sucked up? Seeing all the fluff, hair and detritus, just has to unduce a satisfying feeling of virtue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Get a Henry. Every tradesman I've ever hired for a job has brought a Henry with them for clean-up, there's a reason why. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered whether the see-through bagless design was really Dyson's best idea, and the rest was hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an admittedly pathetic cordless Dyson (boys and their gadgets eh ?) but I still laughed at my missus's stupid Henry with its ridiculous smiley face on it. Then I used it. Oh how wrong I was to scoff. Beast of a machine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Had a Dyson and was grateful when it eventually broke beyond being glued back together one more time. Bought a Henry. Embarrassed by how good it was in comparison and that I’d been suckered in to presuming ‘reassuringly expensive’ was a real thing in plastic vacuums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
