Looking for a new Hoover as our dyson decided to give up last night with a nice White glow coming from the motor, so does anyone know what's any good and if there are any good deals about?

Ps we have 3 cats!!

henry had mine for ages never a problem always works an thats heavy use down garage

We've got 6 cats!. we had a henry which we thought was ok but the missus wanted a Dyson, I said to get the animal one but she got one of the ball ones. It's truly impressive to say the least. The first time we used it, it got up so much cat hair we didnt know was there. Im usually quite sceptical about these things but the Dyson really works.

a Miele gets my vote!

I have a henry, the trusty bombproof little work horse BUT in the past had a Dyson and it was very impressive.

Personally I would think the Dyson has more sucking power and will lift the cat hair better than a Henry, he's a trusty little bugger but not as powerfull.

The first Dysons tended to have parts that broke, but then the second design (going back a few years) they had redesigned those flaws so guessing the latest versions will be pretty good all rounders.

We've had powerful 'regular' vacs including a Miele, but they're not a patch on the Dyson. I also can't see what the big deal is with Henrys? I'm sure they're very sturdy, but as a vac the ones we've got at work are shit. Really average suction.

I totally can't fault our Dyson, there's no way I'd ever go back to a normal vac.

I've never liked our dyson we have now, easy to take apart to clean out but the filters need cleaning out every week and you never remember to do them till you go to use it.

DanW@FastFord

Which Dyson do you have? I've only done our filters once, and only because it said I should, and not because there was any less suction.

I guess it also depends on whether you are after an upright or a cylinder!?

As said i would definately reccomend a Miele cylinder or go on ebay and get yourself a Filter Queen cylinder!!

Chris Honeywell

Dyson's are great but the filters do need cleaning every month or so, even more so if you sucking up a lot of dust.
The amount of Dyson's i use in people houses at work that have basically no suction is unreal out with the filter a few bangs against the wall and its back to full power.

I have had a couple of customers give me broken Dyson's ,there busted as the filters are blocked and the motor cuts out. 10mins cleaning and there as good as new!!

Borrowed a customers cylinder miele a while ago and was bloody powerful

We've had our dc02 for about 10 yrs now and is still going strong was expensive to me at the time but not considering how much use its had

True about the filters a quick bang against the wall and its suckin like a good un..!!

My family and i have a commercial cleaning company and find Numatics and pretty good.

danneth

weve had a few dysons etc, but go to the asda and get a bissell easy vac its only small but its AWESOME and only £35 go for it

GARETH T

henry or a hetty gets my vote, its the only ones we buy for work

Xr2iTurbo

My girlfriend has a hetty we had it over 2 year now and not had a problem,does work better using it bagless you get a lot more suction,its a good reason to get out of doin hoovering too i refuse to use a pink hoover so could also be a good reason to get one

Nath

Kirby without a doubt.

dojj

although if the op is asking about which hoover is best, then i can't say iv'e got an idea, but if he's after a replacement vacuum cleaner then the dyson dc07 animal ftw

Red16

All you lot suggesting other brands... he wants a Hoover

Miele cat n dog gets my vote

So it's 'safe' to use a Henry without a bag? Might give it a go.

NomadPaul

If you talk to people in the know , they will reccomend a Sebo for domestic work and a Kirby for commercial stuff.

Henry gets my vote too; plus they are still made in the UK which i like to try and support

whatever you do, dont buy a Hoover; the quality is rubbish now; we've had 2 and both went back within the year with faults.

tsutton

Got two cats, using a Dyson DC02 - always works well.

We've had this hoover for well over 8+ years! Only need to replace the filter and the rolling brushes, that's all. Parts are always available online.

Snap. Cant imagine a better hoover.

Wives get allergic to it though so beware

danneth

go for it we also have a dyson, we only bought it because me mother was raving about them and she said it was as good as a dyson so we got one for the laugh and was amazed by it

tabetha

BISSEL, hepa filter, esp as got pets.
I don't know about one a month for cleaning filters though, ours NEED doing every week, takes about 1/2 hour, has 3 to do, rips up carpet if loose at all, and also the cylinder part lifts out as a seperate part to use on it's own if wished, to do car etc.
That's the best one we've had but was about £300.
