we have a miele, it's small and works well.
Despite having a cleaner the wife wants one of these rechargeable dyson things which look like they couldn't lift a Malteser. The only reason I can gather is that her friends have them.Comment

Our main vacuum is a Sebo. It's very good indeed. It does have bags though, which doesn't bother me but some might not like it.
We also have Henry and Charles variants for other cleaning.
We've had a few Dyson cleaners and I will never waste my money on them again. They break down far too quickly for the money you pay.Comment

My other half is the type that insists on a quick vac around the kitchen after every meal so it takes 30 secs with the hand held and she is happy as anything.
It's worth it even if it's just to keep SWMBO happy but don't... for gods sake... buy it for birthday or xmas...'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

On that note, we bought the Dyson DC75, the latest one that doesn't have the need for filters. So far so good, yes it's a beast and heavy and clunky but it is very powerful and that's what I was looking for.Comment

Henry.
You never see a builder /painter/chimney sweep/etc with a Dyson or Miele.
...and you could have 3 of them for £300.
...and they are British made.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

You don't see them driving Audi, BMW etc. for work either, that doesn't mean their white van/truck is better for your needs. There is a tool for every job.
Dyson is at least British engineering, no idea where they are made these days
Miele is German, which is usually better quality than British, misplaced patriotism aside.Comment

Henry, Charles, George, Hetty et al are Numatics. They are designed and manufactured in the UK on the SW coast. They do have plants in Germany and elsewhere in the world.

The British are as good as Germans in manufacturing products for niche markets.
And yes these vacuum cleaners are for niche markets as otherwise you would all be buying Panasonics or Argos value brand.
BTW just buy the product that claims to support your lifestyle so if it doesn't work as expected you have some come back."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
