Alternative to my Dyson

Both the cleaners I have had have used Henry’s, they must be good and reliable.
I gave my Dyson away and bought a Gtech, quite happy but myGD didn’t rate it really so we bought a Shark.
It cleans really well but sadly I can’t lift or manoeuvre it it is far too heavy so for my own use I bought the Gtech stick which I like, however a mains cleaner is better than a rechargeable for picking up.

My mother had a Henry which I used to vacuum her flat when I visited. I was never happy with the results and took my plug in Dyson over to hers one day. After the Henry’s use, the Dyson picked up a whole container’s worth of dust. I wasn’t surprised.

For years now I have had a cordless Dyson and, yes, its filters can be cantankerous, but is it very easy to use and very efficient.

stopped considering Dyson when he pushed hard for Brexit then moved his entire op overseas! Miele are good, not cheap, but last for years.

I have had a Dyson and hated it. I then bought a Sebo and love it, it is still going strong. I have also got a Vax rechargeable which is light and easy to use.

I have a Shark Liftaway cordless and love it

Gets all the shed fur up from my two long-haired house cats. Good on both carpets and hard floors.

Have a Sebo upright cordless for downstairs and love love it.Must have had for 15 years now never gone wrong.As previous posters have said the only downside is it weighs a ton, so have a stick cordless Dyson for upstairs.In all honesty Dyson has never given me any trouble.I wash the filter once a month the same time run the battery right down, never had bother at all.
I had a Henry but never got on with it.Likewise a GTech.

Sebo is just a vacuum cleaner like most others, , but weighs a ton apparently. I thought Dyson w ere expensive (also heavy,) but Sebo tops that cost wise by about 100%.

I have a shark which is heavy and was £200. It was over my budget but my cleaner says it’s good so I won’t argue. I also have my mums old goblin cleaner, probably about 50 years old, not heavy, still working after all these years.

If Sebo so heavy that's out then, this is why people buy expensive stick vacuums I guess.
Cannot understand those that say Henry doesn't clean. It lifts carpets almost off the floor in full power. Just wish it was lighter mine is over 20 years old.

I have a Shark lift away and love it, not too heavy for me.

I don't lift or carry my Sebo; I push it along on its wheels. No effort at all.

Nothing comes close to a Henry. Mine is old and heavy but still the best vacuum by a country mile. I talk to mine as we go around the house

Absolutely agree. Just wish they were lighter in weight.

And isn’t Dyson’s labour force now in the far east, working for paltry pay?

And isn’t Dyson’s labour force now in the far east, working for paltry pay?

3,500 people in the UK work for Dyson.

Salaries for those working in the Far East are variable dependent upon area. Engineers in Singapore may earn about £30,000 - £40,000 pa, a senior manager considerably more.

I bought a Sark cordless on the recommendations of this thread. It came with 24 hours from Shark direct. It’s brilliant and the best bit is that it automatically empties the canister into a bin on the charger. Thanks ladies.
