paul99 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I find that which ever cleaner you buy , they all end up not being as efficiant once you've had um a few months. 40 years ago, they used to sell a really heavy metal cleaner, door to door they asked you to hoover a mattress before they arrived and then showed you the lbs of crud still sucked out with their product.., i think it was American, it was the dogs do das. If anyone can tell me the make and if they are still going I would be much obliged. They were very expensive but would pull the skin off a cow... from Auntie. Nilfisk perhaps? - they match the description but are of course plastic now. There's two in the shed somewhere used / abused at work for over 20 years. The hoses gave out and have awaited replacement for way too long but the bodies still work like new. Gone through all sorts including Electrolux, Vax, Dyson and god knows how many others and they were all absolute rubbish in comparison to the Henry.

pegleg31 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Kirby I used to sell a hoover called vorwerk some years ago and every house i went to with a kirby ( about £1000 then) bought one. The basic model then was about £350 ranging up to about £750 if my memory serves me right. If I had to use the hoover it would be vorwerk all the way for me. other than that henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Dyson's are unbelievably awful. Finally managed to get the missus to stop buying them and get a Miele which makes the Dysons look like the gimmicky overpriced rubbish they are.

krugerandsmith Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Bought a dyson @£300,not impressed had better hoovers @£60 Davyo. I would rather have a 10 inch rusty nail dipped in curare and driven through my scrotum with a 14 pound sledge hammer ....before I would buy a Dyson ...Why because of the way he made so many workers redundant when he moved his factories overseas.

Lurch Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Dyson carped on about how we had to join the Euro or he would throw his toys out of the pram. Subsequently moved production to Malaysia, that well known Euro-zone nation. Vile individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
