Let’s not forget Henry, George & hetty I believe. They have been round some time now. The Henry was a good vac from what I remember. Harry as as well. Link
Henrys are brilliant & so quiet compared to other makes, that’s probably why they are so popular. Plus their relatively low price. Can’t get one (cheap) with a power take off, so there are better makes for the workshop.
Got talked into buying a Dyson V8 for the wife about 2 years ago. £470. What was I thinking?
Within 6 months the brush stopped rotating, so take it back to Sainsburys with the receipt. Have to exchange the complete machine to replace a faulty brush head. That’s ok, we got another 12 months warranty & a brand new machine.
14 months later the wife goes to empty it & the motor assembly pushes into the outer casing & locks in place. Take it back to Sainsburys complete with dust. Girl on the counter is just about to refund us when she realises the amount & calls the manager. He then says it must go back to Dyson for repair & won’t budge.
We go home, look up the relevant legislation which states that goods must be fit for purpose AND last a reasonable amount of time. Next day, back to sainsburys, ask for the manager, quote the legislation & he backs down & refunds us in full.
The only problem is we either travel 20 miles to buy a new cleaner or spend our money with Argos, now part of Sainsburys.
We bought a Vax from Argos at one third the price of the Dyson. The only slight downside so far is that the Dyson automatically charges when wall mounted but the Vax has to manually connected.
