Orraloon Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 You got me. We were about to sell our flats and get a house together, so in the run up to Valentines Day she said we needed a hoover more than a Valentines present. Couldn't resist. When she came home from work to my place I had the Dyson standing in the living room and all I had on was boxers, a bow tie, and a rose between my teeth . When she stopped laughing she got her real present of Agent Provocateur lingerie and I better stop the story there. That's OK, maybe we can come up with our own versions of how the story ended. I'll start it off. Did the story involve a trip to A&E because your knob was stuck in the hoover nozzle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnyTJS Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I've got one of these in the UK: Had it for 35 years. It runs as strong as ever. Design classic (and heart-warming video, I'm sure you'll agree). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 We've got a Henry. By far the best vacuum cleaner we've ever had (including Dyson). Only £100.

Its no co-incidence that all builders/tradespeople/cleaner the nation over have them I agree, I used to work in the industry, keep away from anything made in China, I worked in a vacuum cleaner factory in China for a wee while and the quality is appalling, I have seen some of the dodgy shortcuts they make. The power input of the motor has very little to do with what the actual suction ends up as. Numatic stuff is simple and reliable, hence why the professionals use them.
