£1000 hoover

[pitchfork]

Thats like buying a ride on lawnmower for a 2mx2m garden. Totally pointless if you ask me.
I mean it's worth buying a decent product if you use it a lot yeah but thats overkill.

It's a hoover? Come on.

Yesterday my parents bought a 'Kirby Sentria' for £995.

Me personally I say RIPPED but my mother insists
"It cleans carpets, blinds etc. etc. and also comes with 35 years gurantee."

Opinions?

Meh, IMO just get a Henry hoover. Simple, good hoover that never breaks.

Unless you spend 8 hour a day cleaning someone's mansion, I can't see how one would ever justify spending £1000 on something like a vacum cleaner. If you think about it, you could have brand new cheapie vacum cleaner every 3 months for the next 10 years. As in - instead of emptying the bag, just chuck the whole thing away. Or brand new Bosch every year for a decade. And it will do the job just as well. £1000 for vacum cleaner has as much point as spending £1000 on a microwave oven to do asda value ready meals.

Mine's been kicking for 46 years with minimal maintenance. Imagine that it cost £1k back then. That's a bit less than £22 per year. I have no doubt that it'll keep on going for at least another 10 years, and the thing is powerful enough to suck spilled liquids completely out of 3/4" pile carpets. Not a bad investment IMO.

The initial outlay is bonkers though. That's why so few people buy them.

EDIT: On the Tesco web site I see the cheapest cleaner with beater brushes is the Tesco VCU007 for £39.97. How long do you think that vacuum cleaner will last? How well do you think it will operate?

I certainly could understand it as a investment in a mansion, when vacuuming it from top to bottom, 50+ rooms takes all day, but not for the typical UK home.

I would much prefer to get one of these...

With an intelligent cleaning system and Dirt Detect technology, this robotic vacuum navigates around furniture and vacuums along walls and in corners for thorough cleaning. 2 virtual wall units keep the vacuum within a desired space for enhanced performance.

and only $300!
