I find 'ours' ;-) picks up great (and looking at the muck in the tube shows just how much dirt it sucks up :-0 ) it's cleaned out after every use....but after a long time using one I now find it very heavy to lift. |

Well I have had an Oreck for many years as my back hurts with anything weighty, but now have hard floors with rugs so couldn't use the Oreck on the hard floors as the brush bar would scratch them. Also I hate the bag fixing on the Oreck as mine used to come off and make a horrendous mess in the outer bag. Then I bought a small cylinder Dyson just for the hard floors and very soon it lost power so I haven't been happy with it since. |

Don't know about Dyson but, I have a Henry, the one with the extra power. It's, brilliant, got a long cable and strong suction, also easy to pull along. |

I have a Kirby which I found excellent when I had a big house and I use it now for downstairs,but find it fiddly putting on attachments .It is easy to push on the turbo setting. |

Have just collected my Dyson (no charge) from the factory as the turbo bar had become intermittent! No problem with the fact that I had lost my guarantee (5 years, runs out in April), Took it in on Tues, phone call this am for collection - lovely people, brilliant service. Dyson working perfectly, any further trouble with the same problem after guarantee runs out, just take it on and talk to them about it as it will be viewed sympathetically. Can't say fairer than that and would certainly buy another. |

I have had a Hoover Vortex for about 15 years and I think Dyson took them to court as it works in a similar way to Dyson. I don't have any thing to replace, such as filters and apart from being heavy it is a brilliant vac. The production ceased, presumably after the court case, unless someone knows differently. |

It is quite a good idea not to call you vacuum cleaner a Hoover. |

I have had three Dyson over the years the latest is upright and just too heavy for me to comfortably carry upstairs. OH brought a Mere cylinder model last year to keep up stairs, I am now using it downstairs too. It is by far the best vacuum I have ever had. |

If it is, my daughter has got a 'cat and dog' one and she swears by it. I've used it in her house and I have to admit it is brilliant! (nearly as good as my Dyson!!) |

My wife's main complaint is the weight, but then other lightweights we have seen are worse than useless, so you can't have it both ways. |

I know a lot of people swear by the Henry/Henrietta's they own. But I like an upright for the fact that you do not have leads etc. to store away. |

Dazed/Confused. Just got my new catalogue from Coopers of Stortford. Noticed a very nice upright on Page 25 which looks to me to be better than most of these £200 models. |
