Birroc

Have had a Dyson for 9 years and found it an excellent machine. However it has lost a lot of its power so looking to replace it. Whats the best vacuum cleaner on the market and where is best place to buy?

Miele vacuums are the best on the market I have one for years and still working very well.

Why has it lost its power? I have had to replace the 'lifetime' fliter (cost €13.50) good as new after that. I think there is a set service fee from Dyson, something like €75.00, they call and replace whatever is needed (cable winder and pole thing in our case). Our machine is 12 years old.

I mean if you really are happy with it why replace it? Now if you want to buy a new machine, go for miele.

Hi Wally, where did you get the replacement 'lifetime' filter?

Power city? I have a DC05 (I think). I am sure any good electrical retailer would have it.

Got a new filter and my 9 year old dyson is as good as new. Result!
Screw Miele, Dyson rocks! Superb customer service.

Thanks Wally.

Hi All
Well I've always been a Dyson man. Worth the money just to see the mountain of cats hairs flying around in the cylinder. My girlfriend though has just bought a new one for her flat and golden retriever. Now that does shed hairs! Will try and find out what she bought as she swears by it!

PottyDave

Here we go! Not sure which one it is but she says it's the best vacuum cleaner she's ever bought. One of the upright models. More suction than your average black hole apparently! http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/Products/Vacuum+Cleaners/Overview/291294/index.html
Hopefully tomorrow when she's sober she'll be able to read the model number!

Well Birroc...how does this story end? Likewise, my Dyson animal is starting to fall to bits and lose its suction and bits are falling off it. So, it looks like we're in the market for a replacement. Dyson or Miele.....??

PS: If you ever get a building job done in your home resign yourself to the fact that your vacuum cleaner won't survive the experience for long after.

Henry is a very good machine at a good price. Many commercial cleaners use them.

I really like Henry cleaners:D.

Our first one we left at a house we sold as didn't have room to bring it. It was still going strong at aged 21 years. Bought in 1991 and it had a brown top.. It never had any replacement parts:D.

Bought the new henry turbo here and find trying to clean rugs with the turbo/high power it's like having a workout in a gym:eek: Only use it sometimes for wooden floors, mostly just in normal mode.

The only thing with henry for the older person they are quite heavy if you have to take them upstairs. Ours is a bungalow so we just drag it around with the hose:o The ideal in a house would be 2, one for up and downstairs for the older person.

Even 1 of the night cleaners in Tallaght Hospital who was caught in an "awkward" position with one a few years back.:eek::D

Henry Hoovers,Dyson or Nilfisk are all good.

Ive a Dyson and it picks up all sorts of crap,from fish tank substrate,to dust,dirt,bits of plaster,stone and sawdust from when the builders where in my home working away.

A quick clean out every month and a wash of the filter,and its still flying after having it for 5 years now.

Dyson still the best
