Got a lovely purple Dyson Animal with roller ball, had it for nearly 4 years now, used every day and never had any problems with it! (now that I've said that out loud - it will probably break )

The two practices I have worked in we've always used Henry and can't fault them. They get pulled into door frames and into the scales and just keep bouncing back.

Thanks. Looks like it's a Henry. I too have tried Dyson's and agree with the comments re repairs. I'm off to Argos.

Lol. My new dog (coming over from Cyprus beginning of Septe) is also called Henry although it's spelt Henri as his current name is after the footballer! Decided to change it to heny when he gets here!

We have henrys at work and they all get a battering although cope well. We always seem to end up having to get new noses but the actual hoovers must be coming up to about 7 now. My dog is called henry after the hoovers (i no im quite mad)

I've been unlucky then as both of my Dyson's gave up after about 2-3yrs. The actual Dyson mechanical part died both times (forgotten the fancy technical name!) and only Dyson can repair that bit and the callout was £75 plus the new part which added up to more than Henry so didn't bother the 2nd time. I guess it maybe depends on how heavy the useage is - I had 4 housecats and a dog at the time and we'd also had major building work done on the house twice so were hoovering up concrete/plaster dust for months afterwards both times so it got a fair old battering!

i would disagree on the dyson front mine is brill all come with 5yr gaurantee (not that i have had to use mine) and are easy to clean, dont need bags etc. My mum has had hers for ten years and all she has ever needed is a new belt that cost £5. They are also mega easy to take to pieces. Oh and mine fell down the cellar steps and still works lol. You also get some nice cleaning tools that are good for sofas and curtains etc.

Henry. No frills, used by builders and the like. Have tried various "pet hair" vacs over the years and they always give up after a couple of years. Man in the vac shop recommended Henry 4yrs ago and have never looked back. No fancy mechanisms like Dyson etc to go wrong and classed as light industrial (which my little man in shop said regular animal hair use should be classed as!) Around £90 online/Argos etc for the traditional red one. Plus he smiles at you whilst hoovering
