hoovers

[xirokx]

Hi Guys,

Need a cheap and reliable hoover, any recommendations? I dont want to get into a vicious circle of buying these things and after 3 months they break...

Any ideas...around 20 - 30 quid?

thanks in advance..

cheers

From past experience, a cheap hoover wont generally last long anyway. But heres the best i could do. Clicky

£20-£30 - thats a bit cheap!

I got a nice vacuum cleaner from a company from ebay. I got one of these.

For the price its a really good vacuum. Very powerful, and bagless.

 

[xirokx]

have you used that hoover? or is it something you just googled?

damn....

erm is there point of paying £30 for such an unreliable piece of equipment?

Maybe they break because they're not quality ones...

Buy one of those Henry ones, or a Dyson. They last forever.

Getting one for 30 quid kinda contradicts that.

We've had one of these for years. Cheap, but very solid and reliable.

You can't beat a Henry, they seem to be almost indestructable. If the world ever ends in a thermonuclear holocaust all that will be left will be the cockroaches and a few slightly damaged Henrys.

Buy a decent one that will last you years? Miele would be good but probably way more than you want to spend

Henry ones are meant to be very reliable, might be worth looking at one of those.

Dyson have been fairly poor at lasting in my experience.

I had one which lasted several years, someone slightly overweight fell on the thing and broke it. Other than that it was still in perfect condition, plus they don't lose suction like other ones.

Dyson are the New Labour of the vacuum world, all style - no substance.

Dyson motors burn out frequently.

Heh, very true.

When I was valeting cars as a summer job back in (starts counting) '98, we used Henry's. We'd vacume 100-200 cars a day, for about 4-5 weeks. One vacuum cleaner used, it was a Henry.

Henrys are the tanks of the vacuum world, they just never seem to break down, personally I'd not touch a dyson with someone elses barge pole.

I would look at a Vax though, if you had pets etc.

henry's are like nearly £100 or £85 is the cheapest i found...

rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

any ideas where i could get one cheaper, the famous auction site has them but still 2 - 3 days left..

hmmmm

Got a Vax VS-19 Swift, bit loud but sucks up fine dust, rotating brush cleans up much better than the standard head. About £60.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

£20-£30, you'll not get a decent hoover for that price surely, just get a goat and keep it away from the furniture/curtains etc...

Why not splash out a little?

Have you never heard of the saying, "you get what you pay for"?
