REFERENDUM RESULTS AND DISCUSSION THREAD

[Kenny]

Shark have taken significant market share off Dyson. I don't have one myself but they are very well reviewed

We went for a Shark last year. Superb, especially at getting up the dog hair and their claim that the rollers won't get hairs etc wrapped around them is true.

Vax is good, we have one. Much better than the Dyson we had before.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

We have a VAX. It’s performance is very good but didn’t take too long for bits to start breaking on it (although I got replacement parts pretty hassle free).

I'm 40, I'm talking about hoovers in the middle of the day and Phil Collins has just appeared on the playlist I've got on in the background.

I've become everything I ever hated.

Echo the Shark recommendation and feel odd even discussing it ??

 

[Keef]

I just went for a Henry hoover, cleaners at work rate them, and if you really want to be a TaKkin are CunTRy baKK type, made in England as well

 

[Sniffer]

Had a number of Dysons mainly due to the warranty but since the last one ran out we’ve gone with a shark. Lighter with all similar tools and attachments and so far better than the dysons we’ve had.

Also assembled in Portugal, and manufactured in China when Austin Rover sold the tooling.

I’ll echo what Kenny said about the roller bar. Always breaking on the Dyson so much so we were nearly on first name terms with the repairman. He kept telling us how good the Dysons and warranties were but each time he tried to flog us a new one. My reply was that if they were that good why was I seeing him that often.

our Dyson lasted about 15 years with no problems.....must say the current one doesn't seem as well made though

Echo the Shark

I think you'll find he was a dolphin.

He had Bunnymen.

it's the roller bar that's playing up on ours. Had it a while, but could've done without it breaking. However, am standing firm in my no dyson position.

I had one. Fucking awful.

 

[Tony Towner]

My dad and grandad both had Marinas

 

[lemonjelly]

I was too young and too ill informed to have a valid opinion. It was red though, so ultimately was cool...

 

[leedswolf]

To make it worse I had the Ital's 'successor', the Montego. Another useless piece of crap. Best thing I did to that was wrap it around a lampost. Fortunately it was a company car and the write-off value was better than what we would have got for it on the block.
