Advantages: great to start

Disadvantages: wears out so easily and becomes useless

After several year of buying cheaper hoovers, I finally succumbed and purchased a Dyson. The bactisafe screen to kill bacteria, hospital - level hepa filter and many other claims were all great selling points for a house with 3 small children and a pet.

I excitedly got my new cleaner home, unpacked it and started a thorough clean of the house..... it was one of thoses typical moments where glee mixes with shame! I was so pleased to see how much was being picked up and yet full of shame that my house had apparently been so dirty, when I thought my olde cleaner was doing a sterling job. I could not have been happier with my new Dyson and sang its praises to the roof tops

Then, a few weeks down the line, I noticed that it didn't seem to be picking up so much... some time later, i noticed that the hose seemed to have a slight crack... and so the faults started to unfold. More and more things seemed 'not quite right' and I actually went back to using my old cleaner after one particularly dirty job that needed a decent hoovering after.

Now, a while down the line, I have a Henry.... I love him and he had yet to let me down. I would never get another Dyson... and it occurred to me, those people who nee to hoover thoroughly as part of their job .... do you ever see them with a Dyson? I only ever see Henry's myself!

Summary: Not for me as so unreliable
