We bought an expensive highly rated Sebo, about 3 years ago. It caught fire, so we bought a Dyson.
Vorwerk are thought of as excellent. I know a few people who bought them many years ago, and they've never wrong.

.... but when they do it gets expensive - the heads have their own motors, so they come at a price.��

You don’t have the Miele Fellatio model by any chance? Apparently this is recommended by all A&E departments as the go-to kit.

My Dyson is very heavy and not that good. I wouldn't buy a Dyson again.

I have a Miele. It is far better than the Dyson I used to have, and the Miele’s suction is such that you really need to put some weight behind it when vacuuming a carpet on full power.
There’s no way I’d risk sticking my knob in it.

I bought a Miele many years ago and it's been solid, an internal filter fell into the fan and I called them, they collected it, repaired and serviced it and returned it - all within the 10 year warranty or something. Still works brilliantly.
However, recently we bought a Dyson cordless and it's infinitely better. It's not the suction etc, as the Miele is more powerful, it's the convenience. You can just pluck it from whichever cupboard or corner you've mounted it, run it around the room and put it back. It is far easier to use and makes vacuuming much less of a chore. Strongly recommend you try it out - if you buy from John Lewis or whoever you can always return it if you don't get on with it.
The other benefit is that vacuuming no longer makes me hotter than the sun.

I have a Dyson "Big Ball" cleaner and it's great - it similarly needs some heft to move it across carpet. I wouldn't use it to clean my Big Balls...
Also, recently bought a Dyson cordless - as above, it doesn't clean as powerfully (the Max mode isn't far off, though) but it's so much more convenient.
Both of these were from Dyson eBay at about £150 each - nominally refurbished with shorter warranties, but actually brand new, and I've managed to register them both for the full warranty (5 years for the cylinder, 2 for the handheld).

Had a Dyson cordless. It was way overpriced, worked great for 3 months. Then went to shit. Never again.
Replaced it with a Vax. Cheap. And worse than the Dyson. Sucking power of an asthmatic gnat. Also never again.
Replaced it with a Henry. Fecking superb. 4 years now and never a problem.

Henry for me.. I have two and they are superb. need to keep the bag monitored and changed every couple of months but online they are only £3 for 6. Have had three Dysons and believe they are overpriced, over-hyped tosh. Each broke and progressively lost suction due to use and wear on seals.
I understand the GTec Air ram and the Shark cordless types are very good, and have used a GTec at my Mum's house. Very easy to manoevre but pricey at >£200.
no all in all for less than £100 it's a Henry for me.
