After owning and using a Dyson DC04 for 5 years or so I thought I would struggle to find a better vacuum cleaner.The Dyson had superb power,was easy to empty and keep clean and what I thought was the best thing was it was easy to repair. This turned out to be the stumbling block in the end though as I got mightily fed up of yet again changing the belt that runs between the motor and the brush bar.Then it needed a new brush bar and a new sole plate and blahblah blah. Anyway enough of my Dysonphobia.It was time to give Henry his chance to shine. I purchased the commercial version from Amazon for under £80 which is half the price of a Dyson. This little machine is absolutely amazing.Having not cleaned the inside of my car for probably six months due to the contortionistic positions needed to clean it with a Dyson I set to work with my new Henry.In no time the kids mess evaporated (not literally) into thin air and the car seemed almost new. I also find it very effective on both carpets and laminate floors in the house and the long cord and suction tube make stairs a breeze. I can not recommend this vacuum cleaner enough.It has been a leading player for a long time now and I believe it has regained it's crown from Mr Dyson as the King of Clean.

Welcome to Ciao. Its a good first review. I went through 3 Dysons before I discovered Sebo uprights which dont have a drive belt! Your experience sounds similar to mine. Im a big fan of Henry though its not as good as a proper driven brush on a carpet.
