To Dyson or not to Dyson

[TFU] Thegoon84 · 27 Mar 2016 at 10:49

So after a long life our Dyson upright has finally packed in. Lately all we've seemed to do is pay for it to be repaired.

No more, i'm just going to buy a new hoover!

Soooo GD, got a budget of £200, ideally would prefer to go under it! Shall i just buy the basic and cheapest Dyson or buy another make?

Best thread of the week or what?

This thread is going to be sucked into a vacuum.

The Miele Cat and Dog range seems to get a good write up too, but is more expensive.

Don't get it - You say you are going to buy a new Hoover but then ask about buying another Dyson? Which is it?

Oh Ed not again. · 27 Mar 2016 at 10:59

Sebo > Dyson.

Which best buy. Or get the Cat & dog.

I have this one. Not pink and a little on a big size but it's really quiet especially on the lowest setting (which is all you need most of the time)

Vax- built like tanks, easy to clean etc.

Had our current one for over 7 years, and barring some scuffs to it - it performs like day 1

Just noticed this offer aswell on the Vax site

I hate dysons, we burned through several before seeing the light. They have lots of stupid little catches and clips that break easily, generally rendering the thing useless. Very overpriced, you are paying for the name only.

Get something built like a S House door a Henry or female counterpart a Hetty bit heavy

Very good but like you say, price to match. Depends what you need vs what you want really.

My Miele one did work ok but then developed a motor fault, which in fairness John Lewis repaired. However, you can't use the motor speed setting any more, but it still does the job. I was hoping it would be more reliable as it was quite expensive but hey.

Panasonic vacuum cleaners may be worth a look, as their products are usually well made.

This..

In a world full of misery why wouldn't you buy a vacuum cleaner with a smiling face

This +1.

But I hate dysons - we have one and I wish I had my henry back.

Love our Dyson upright. Had it 4 years now and it's never broken yet, plus you can buy most parts and they must be easy to work on.

Wait for the Dyson robot vacuum cleaner to be released.

Theres a reason every cleaner in the world has a Henry
