Hoover

[Manc]

In desperate need and the market is absolutely bursting with every variation under the sun. Is opting for a pricey cordless a mug's game? Do I need 99 different nozzles? Is securing a Henry overkill?

Help.

I went all out and bought a top of the range Dyson last year and it's brilliant. Cordless is definitely the way forward, and has made me less lazy about hoovering. So easy to grab it off the wall and give it a quick run around without having to mess around finding a plug, constantly moving the cord out of the way, etc.

I 'secured' a Henry when I moved into my flat, and have never regretted it. I even talk to him sometimes.

I pondered this very same problem 6 months ago. Went cheapest at Tesco and I can't for the life of me imagine the point in anything better unless you're obese or live in a mansion and need to empty it during sessions.

Henry is a cunt.

Cordless Dyson's are quality though.

I was going to say this. It's not the nineties. Everything is pretty good now, and if it dies in two years then you can buy another one.

Brought to you by my four quid kettle.

Miele seemed the most highly recommend brand when we got ours a year or so ago. It's been great.

[Lofty]

If you want something that does the job and doesn't break the bank, get a Henry. If you want the best, get a Shark. Dysons are absolutely wank, was gifted a cordless one the bastard didn't even manage hoovering up a spider the other day :moop:

[Lewis]

It's probably full of crap and hair.

[SvN]

If you don't want to spend much, you're better off getting a Shark than a low-end Dyson. But the top range Dysons are beasts.

[Boydy]

I bought some Vax cordless thing a while ago. It's decent but the battery doesn't last long enough for a proper thorough clean.

[CJay]

We have a corded Hetty (female version of Henry) and we hate it. An army tank would be more manoeuvrable than that thing. Avoid at all costs IMO.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hetty has wider hips so can't get through some doors. Henry is a lithe, agile chap. Admittedly hoovering the stairs with him is like trying to do foreplay with an adult hippopotamus, but we all have our strengths and weaknesses.

[Lofty]

It's probably full of crap and hair.

Clean as a whistle, just dogshit suction. I have a Henry in the shed, relegated to cobwebs and building waste clean up. Her mum gave us her old Miele when she got a shark, it's decent enough but pricey new. We got the Dyson cordless given and it is comfortably the worst of the three by a distance, if it were up to me I'd bin the fucker.

[Pepe]

Just hire someone to do the cleaning for you.

[Mike]

We have a Shark (Duo I think) and it's great as hoovers go.

[Danny]

100% agree with SVN on a Dyson. We have the Animal+ (corded upright one) to use on the rugs/furniture and its amazing. We also have the smaller less powerful handheld for quick things.

For normal everyday cleaning we have a Roomba that we have run 3/4 times a week. Its a few years old but was the peak on when we bought it. A new one of those will be on the agenda in the next few years.

These mans are using cordless [because locating a plug in their own household is difficult ofc], they ain't blessed with our might.

I tested a Shark a couple of months ago and it had no suction. Wouldn't pick anything up.

With Ipod attached I hope?

[Danny]

We usually have a cat attached to the Roomba. He loves to kick it off its stand and take it for a spin.

Surprised its lasted this long tbh. He is a ragdoll so not exactly small.

[Spikey M]

We're getting old lads.

[niko_cee]

:D

Yeah, this is some depressing shit.

Fancy Dyson thing here. It's alright, but I secretly suspect all hoovers are pretty useless, particularly when it comes to hard floors.

[Giggles]

Bought a fancy Dyson, battery fucked in less than two years and apparently a very common problem. Avoid.

Vax are good enough that they do enough of a job despite not having a MICROPROCESSOR and DIGITAL MOTOR but cheap enough that you can replace without being bothered.

[Manc]

I've decided cordless is the way to go. Either of the Dyson V7 Animal or Vax Blade 4.

[SvN]

The suction didn't seem great on the v7 when I tested it out.

Are you rocking a V11?

[Raoul Duke]

I have some Argos thing that's actually not bad but want to upgrade to a cordless soon. Also a Roomba thing is on the list.

[SvN]

Are you rocking a V11?

I am. I wanted to make sure I bought something that got the dog hair, and it handles it no problem. We've had it a year so far, and the only problem we've had was a blockage caused by random debris that comes in with the pram.

[Disco]

Another vote for the dependable Henry.

The battery on cordless Dysons is shit and will be the first thing to go, the cheapo things are fine for a bit but they lose power quite quickly and you end up wondering if you've actually hoovered at all.

[Lofty]

Fair enough though that's the first I've ever heard of it, in my apparent part time hobby as hoover enthusiast.

[randomlegend]

Reddit reckons the Sharks all die as soon as the warranty runs out.
