We recently bought the Which? best rated Dyson. It weighs like a feather compared to out last vacuums - a Miele, older Dyson and a Sebo.
So far so good, it's performance is outstanding.

Receptionist at my work actually gets aggressive if someone says and other vacuum is better than her Shark.
Couldn't justify paying such crazy amounts for a bloody dust sucker myself. We have a Vax which does the job well for around £100.

Shark always. Super suction but no teeth!
Henry’s are not designed for regular domestic use. Sure they are powerful and durable but have you tried manouvering the things around normal house dimensions? Useless. Get stuck on every corner, door, step. And they’re bloody heavy to move around. They are designed for cleaning school corridors, building sites ,offices and halls. Not houses.
We use G-tec which I like but the cheap plastic housing on them doesn’t inspire me much.

Yes, not only have I tried, I do it twice a week, I don't find it a problem, and it isn't heavy. I don't have a vast home, in fact if I plug it in in the hallway I can do the whole of my 3 bed terraced house, up and down, without changing where it is plugged in.

£160 - cheaper if you can get one of the fairly regular 10%/15%/20% off eBay codes that float around HotUKdeals. This is what I bought a few months ago but, when delivered, they'd run out of this model so sent a brand-new Big Ball Total Clean (same thing, more attachments) instead, which I registered for 5 years warranty.

Try something else, then you'll notice the difference.
sounds like what I'm looking for, but does it swallow
(I'm sorry ...)
Yes, it does swallow, it also does chaffinch and starling, and works wonders with wrens, but anything larger like wood pigeon tends to get stuck in the hose.

Had a dyson, just kept the extending metal pole and fitted it on my Numatic as that was a useful innovation. The machine itself was crap, and I was pleased when it died. I have used other machines in various places when doing jobs at customers houses and I am quite happy with what what I have thanks, if Henry ever dies I will have a look at what else is available, but for the money, I doubt there is anything better.

I use a Gtech AirRam Mk2.... find it more than adequate..light and good suction power..no trailing cables and a long charge plus small footprint as I haven’t a lot of storage spave ..as I have stairs I bought a refurbished Dyson dc6 to supplement it

Many thanks, I like the look of that one, reminds me of my mum's carpet sweeper back in the day

We have a Dyson V6 which cost us €300 ish here.
Suction is great but battery is shite. From a full charge we get less than 10 minutes use!
Would never buy another.

If you're technically minded, you could crack open the battery pack and replace the cells - as I recall they're flat top 26650s. There will deffo be a guide on YouTube.
Newer models have a significantly longer battery life from the get-go.
