mine seems to have picked things up and then drops them five minutes later in another part of the room.

next time I buy a new vac, if I can, it will be a Vax - which is a well reviewed cheap knockoff of a Dyson. I used to think buying reconditioned 2nd hand Dysons off e-bay was the way forward, now I think I was supporting neo-vacism. There is a coin slot to open the vac head on a Dyson and clean off the hairs + strands that clump around the brush. Never actually done this before, just learned this from the Dyson vac maintenance community on youtube.

when I got married we got a Miele, by far the most expensive thing on our wedding list, and it lasted 18 years! we replaced the hose once I think. always used generic bags. finally had to get a new one, and it is basically exactly the same as the old one which suits me fine

I have a shark and I hate it. It could be my particular model, but the footprint is smaller than the average vac and it falls over easily.

got a miele and wouldn't get a dyson again.

I can't afford durable, but in many ways I'm quite happy about moaning about how shit everything in my house is for the rest of my life. Then occasionally treating myself to something even worse!

my miele must be getting on for 20 as well now. it is on its last legs and have a dust allergy so i'm thinking about getting a new one, but yeah, they look exactly the same (which is reassuring).
