I bought a Dyson. It was great. When it worked. Which wasn't often. So I bought a HENRY. It is brilliant and totally reliable. 1000000 builders can't be wrong! So if your hoover is no good try a HENRY - you won't regret it.

Dysons are too clever by half, which feels for the most part like it's just to generate a unique selling point. Henrys, however, are brilliant for three reasons.
1: they have a face.
2: they suck (in a good way).
3: Professional cleaners use them and professional cleaners know their stuff.

Actually, it's vacuum cleaner. Hoover is a brand.
We have a Miele and it's fabulous. Darling. Sucks like a good 'un.

Apparently if you work for Dyson you're not allowed to say the word hoover! To which I can only say......Poo!

We have a dyson and it's c*** (not the best). The plastic bits break easily and frequently and it's cleverly designed not to be very practical for some jobs (e.g. stairs!).

Historically, Dysons have not done well in tests carried out by Which? magazine. They may have improved in recent years, though; I don't subscribe to the magazine anymore so I don't know. You can't go wrong with a Miele. A bit pricey, perhaps, but worth it.
