Is this a good hoover?
I have one of these, having previously owned a Dyson then a Vax, I would say this has been the best so far, especially if you have a mutt like we do who drops hair constantly. I’ve not had to remove the brush cylinder thing once.
Only downside was It doesn’t have one of those fancy “bolt to the wall” holster doo-da’s, but it stands up by itself folded in the middle so looks like a robot trying to blow itself
Don’t go cordless, they don’t have enough suction. Get a reliable Shark with a cord.
I’m getting a Henry. Am I making a terrible mistake?
No they’re reliable and good
They’re good apart from having no powered brush bar. You can get one that’s powered by the airflow and they’re okay but not the same still. Not a big deal if you don’t have any carpets and pets, though.
They were better a few years ago, I seem to remember EU legislation mean power had to be reduced, but not by much. They are literally bomb proof, you could vacuum up rubble after an earthquake. Bought a box of bags off eBay about 15 years ago and still barely halfway through. Parts are cheap and you can get spares etc.
Have also had dysons, Miele, Siemens vacs. The Dyson was worst imo.
Like this?
Looks a bit massive and honking.
I worked for currys when this happened and they panic bought thousands of old high powered vacuums to sell to gammons who wanted UK spec not the EU ones because if you had em before the deadline you were allowed to sell them through

I had a Charles when renovating my house. Went bag free and that baybee would suck up anything, rubble, plaster, even used it in the garden.
Absolutely bomb proof, still keep it in the cellar so the Shark stays fresh and clean.
Love vacuum chat

I make chutney with figs from my garden. It goes pretty well with cheese.

Anyone have a double door fridge? Would you recommend? Or not?

My mum and dad have had one for years. Well good. But there’s so much space in there my mum feels it has to be filled, and so buys excessive amounts of food which take forever to be eaten.
I’d say if you have kids (which I know you do), then the extra space would be a bonus.
