Seems James Dyson was right after all.

One born every minute, as I said my 25 year old Vax hoovers up anything. I've used it for very dusty things, wet things, heavy things, anything you like, no problem at all. It has a proper cloth bag which traps everything but the finest dust, and that gets trapped in a cloth filter, then a little foam filter. Never had to replace any of them, just empty the bag and bang the filter outside to remove the dust.

rote:

p screws nailas and other crap cause the hose to get a split in it.

y duty stuff and the dyson for lighter work the sort of uses it would get i n a home.

and hardcore with a dyson or a henry use the tools for what they were desig ned for.

wdriver to knock out bricks ?

thing. No problem. Most stays in the reusable cloth bag. The small amoun t that gets through goes into the big cloth filter or the little sponge one . It's now 25 years old and the most that's gone wrong with it is a busted cable when I yanked it.

to suck up rubble.

s are avaible them doen't it.

Can yuo get yuor vax to pick up dust on the top of a wardrobe without havin g to run the cable to the nearest plug.

it's the finest dust that I want trapped I don't want dust blown out over e verything.

Why wouldn't it? It come with a wire long enough to reach the whole house from the socket in the hall. If the house was bigger, I'd just fit a longer cable.

Which it does just fine. There are three paces to stop the dust - the cloth bag, the cloth filter, and the foam filter.

don't you have to plug your vax into the mains to use it ? or how else dos it get power to 'suck'

The surface is 6ft above the ground. The hose on a Henry is about 6ft so if the henry was on the floor the hose would just reach the top, but how would you then angle the hose down onto the top it just wouldn;t work properly. But with a cordless cleaner that doesn;t need a 6ft hose you just stand on a chair, with a henry yuod have to hold the henry in one hand and clean with the other.

Has it a hepta filter ? our henry doesnt'

Then I would either use the longer hose or for ridiculously long reach I'd plug the longer hose into the shorter one. We also have a George, but that is too heavy for my wife to take up and down stairs, hence having the Henry too and if I added the hoses from that, I could vac the whole house and the cars without moving the vac at all!

Our Henry has a Hepa filter - you can also use Hepaflo bags in it.

More importantly, the Hepa filter is available separately.

Such a change to read occasional news about Britain. No mention of Trump or the FBI.

Our cleaner at work has a backpack vacuum. Much easier than Henry, especially on the stairs.

You specified the top of a wardrobe. Surely I'd be cleaning that when it was already plugged in to do the floor.

Can't remember what hose I'm using, it could be off another vacuum, but it's long enough to reach everywhere. If not, just pick up the Vax.

No, hepa filters are for people with asthma aren't they? I have no need for one.

P.S. Since you find it so amusing that I trip over door frames, how about this - do you ever bend over and forget that your arse will stick out and collide with what's behind you?

Well that's up to you but with the invetntion of rechargble batteries someone though why not make a cleaner that you don't need to plug-in everytime you want to use it.

Show me one with a 1500W motor.

You might, I wouldn't. That's teh advantage of using recharables of anything they can go places cabled devices can't get to.

Why do DIYERs buy recharable drills

and carry it while standing on a ladder yeah sure yuo can;t even walk without banging yuor head or feet against something.

No they aren't.

Not really, is this a fantasy you have with your henry.

How about sitting on buzz lightyear

Show me one with a 3Kw motor.

That's even less likely. You're missing the point.

You;ve lost the point.

What is one of the most important things a person wants from a vacuum cleaner. ?

Style and virtue signalling judging by the Die-Soon.

Nah he was the bloke that built Data in Star Trek the next generation ;-)

Hey! I use a Mercedes to clean my carpets! Very good build quality and price, about 120quid new and it's still working after 25 years. The only part I've had to replace was the mounting that holds the filter in place.

I never said there was anything wrong with Mercedes.

Rover: s*it quality, cheap Mercedes: good quality, expensive BMW: s*it quality, expensive

Only the first two make sense.
