    Nice price. Argos are doing the dc19T2 ( dunno exact differences, if any) with a 114 € reduction but still works out in excess of 200 quid

    the powercity model DC29 is streets ahead for the same price - I'd say the DC19 is pretty close to being discontinued

    I got the dc29 animal for 229 and it is amazing. 5 year guarantee, they must be pretty solid to offer that.

    Except that everything that might actually go wrong with it is excluded under 'wear and tear' or accusations of misuse.

    Did you ever see a contractor using a dyson
    a) they don't have enough suction - see below
    b) contractors can't afford to empty them every 5 minutes - see below
    c) they're far too fragile
    d) parts and service are too expensive, too sparsely available and there are too many quibbles with the warranty

    Regarding suction:
    Dyson is a gimmick the dc29 pulls only 32 liters per second, the new miele s5 series is 70 liters per second and a ten year warranty. Even old henry is 42 liters/s and with a henry you can hoover up about 6-8 liters of general household crap before even losing enough suction to approach the dyson.
    In that time you'll have had to empty your dyson at least 4 times and if your dealing with bulky stuff like paper, tissue, pet hair, wood shavings etc. you'll have to empty 2-3-4 times that as the dyson does not compress the contents like a bagged hoover. I'll happily pay a euro for a hepaflo bag for the convenience, cleanliness and enormous capacity of the bag.
    Henrys fallen down the stairs umpteen times cracking one of the timber stair treads and taking chunks out of the plaster (not plasterboard) it still goes like a train, worst case scenario the motor goes after 10 years and I buy a new motor for €50.

    Regarding filtration:
    I have an appalling reaction to dust - simply taking something out of the tumble drier could set me off for the day requiring me to take zirtek and nasal steroids. I have never had a problem hoovering the house with a henry with a hepaflo bag.

    Not sure if its the same type or model numbers but I saw dysons for 150 last year in dunnes I can't imagine they would last being that price as dysons are always so expensive.

    I have to jump to Dyson's defence on the warranty here. I had a warranty claim earlier this year, and was expecting the usual runaround, especially as I hadn't registered the machine for warranty. I was having a problem with loss of suction and a sticking telescopic tube. After a few questions about serial no and where I bought it and the operator patiently helped me identify a blockage. Once that was done she arranged for the replacement for the broken part to be sent out the same day. Absolutely painless. I just wish more companies operated this way.

    Well I guess you better stick to Henry for the suction that suits you best so. We just use it for our living room, stairs/hallway and one of the bedrooms so we don't really need to be dragging some big red smiling yoke up and down the stairs. I used it for the first time and found it lifted more dirt than our old machine and after half an hour of use it wasn't half full. It was a doodle to empty and I wouldn't go back to using one with a bag again.
