I've had Dysons for years, but the last one, bought three years ago was useless from the start. It has caused me so much stress and died every time it picked up some of my hair and didn't pick up pet fur despite being an Animal. Everyone including a builder friend said get a Henry- so I did.
Wow! It sucks up everything (including the carpet if it's just the nozzle), and it loves my hair and pet fur nearly as much as I love chocolate! The cable is so long I could vacuum next door too, and the capacity is huge, unlike the awful Dyson. The tools are the useful ones and you can add and remove bits to suit taller or shorter people. Being tall, this is fantastic. The cable is so easy to extract and retract and Henry races around like Lewis Hamilton. He come a cropper when he taken a corner too fast and tight, (which I feel really guilty about), but he's fine and there's no tears. Henry fits in very well with our family and because he's much quieter, my animals like him more than the Dyson too. He obviously loves it here too as he's always smiling. I wish I'd got him years ago. It's Henry and me for life now, although he's changed his name by deed poll to Harry as Henry cat was getting confused!
