      The only hoover with personality. Watching a builder use one to hoover up some rubble and bits of broken plaster was enough to convince me to get one.

        My experience is tainted from an incident at uni involving my flatmate and his friends, nakedly encircling poor Henry… I can only imagine what horrors those eyes saw…

      ~15 years of satisfaction with Electrolux ZUSG3000 Ultra Silencer Green HEPA. Only the velvet bumpers have worn off.

    I have a SIEMENS VSQ5X1238 since ~10 years, no problems so far.

    And a small one: PHILIPS FC 6148/01 MINI VAC, guess also ~10 years old, no problems.

    I’m a fan of the Miele canisters. I’ve not come across a Miele appliance that’s not fantastic. I’m not sure I trust the battery vacuums, but then, that opinion isn’t limited to just Miele. Bags are better than bag less, unless you’ve pets and piles of fur.

      That didn’t seem to go down so well - next time I’ll better use a line from the “Me hit Og with rock, On head!” department…

    We have a Miele that is still working quite well after more than 10 years.

    Many people in Germany also swear by Vorwerk, but I don’t like them due to their MLM practices.

    Pneumatic International i.e. the people who make Henry Hoover. You know the ones that are built like tanks that every cleaning service used because they’re so reliable and last forever.

    I believe they’ve also made a handheld one now.

    Avoid Dyson, because they’re overpriced, the build quality is terrible now, and Dyson is a Brexitier and Trump supporter.

      Checked the comments to mainly make sure nobody was recommending dyson so glad to see this comment! Plus, didn’t they move their HQ to Singapore so probably doesn’t count as UK based anyway? Either way they suck.

      My Henry (built in the UK) is still going strong after lots of abuse and use

      The Henry range looks goofy but they’re truly BIFL - built to last and easily serviceable, with excellent spare parts availability.
