Hoover recommendations.
Jump to: Newest in thread
My Henry is refusing to pick up anymore, its been a good hoover, lasted longer than any of my dysons but rip Henry, so what do you recommend with having four cats, would consider another dyson.
I'm off out now but will check tonight.
I want one I can get online.
Notto fussed about the cost. |

"The best thing about a Henry is the cat can sit on top and have a ride whilst you're hoovering. "
Aw I like that idea. My partner's cats hide as soon as he brings it out, wish they'd ride it. |

"Pssst. All the above are not Hoovers, they are all vacuum cleaners 
pedantic .  "
I have a pal who works for one of those vacuum cleaner companies and I'm forever being told off for calling them all hoovers.
I have a Henry and quite frankly I'd buy another. Every place I've ever worked has had a Henry so I figured they couldn't all be wrong. In terms of cat hair, works a treat. |

You have changed the bag right?
And there's nothing stuck in the tube?

"I'd get another Henry or a Miele cat and dog Hoover but I'd never get an upright. "
I have the Miele Cat & Dog and is the best I have had 
Only one I have found to be able to pick up the dog hairs
And great tools too
And no I am not being rude  |

Yes that's another bit of ridiculous EU legislation that Brussels will try to force onto us. |

Good news for Henry, he may not have died yet, going to take him to the repair shop and see if they can do anything. He has been good to me so he deserves a chance.
I can borrow one while he's there..
If not might get another Henry after all.
Thank you for your suggestions xx |

We have a Kirby that's 23 years old and still works as good as new. Expensive, but solidly built.
More importantly it has a headlight, which I've always thought is a minimum if you want a man to use it.

The reason Henry's are 'good' is because they have a relatively simple filtration system.
This means that they just keep on sucking because the smaller particles (think pollen and plaster dust) that are stopped by the more complicated systems just pass straight through.
I would recommend a Dyson Animal, a Meile Cat and Dog or the new G- Tech Air Ram.
Just clean the filters regularly- I currently own a Dyson and just bought an extra filter for a tenner when I bought it- so I have a wash and a wear! x |

"For all those that where concerned about the departed Henry, I've just had a call from the menders, he lives to see another day and will be back with me tomorrow  didnt say what was the matter but its only £15 bloody glad I didn't throw him in the bin
I would have gladly offered to take care of all the housework for you.........without hesitation.will you bloody behave, your not good for my weak heart, well it wasn't weak before this morning "
No deal. I behave in the manner in which I see fit: whipped cream, speed cuffs and ice cubes later? We'll get busy? |

"ive seen henrys dragged round shipyards patched up with tape, builders also used them, cant see dysons taking the same abuse, also ive never seen a advert for henrys i wonder why"
my dyson was knackered in a year, me and Hoover's don't get on imhad so many different ones and Henry has been the best by far
