New Machine...


Lesinutah,


I'm wary of the Miele's durability. Performance is great, but the S7/U1 platform is known to have serious issues with their hoses collapsing from not being able to withstand the suction and some other plastic components tending to break (rear wheels and bag collar mounts are reported to be weak spots). I'm sorry but a $449+ vacuum with those problems is not worth the money. Also, have you ever actually used a Henry? If so, what was your impression besides "okay"? What makes a Henry just "okay"? Every review I've seen plus the inputs on here have led me to believe that it is a well-made, quality machine that will hold up well in regular use.


As for the Dyson sentiment, I myself have owned a DC17 and DC18. Did they clean well? Yes, as far as bagless vacs go. I'm not a fan of them from a durability standpoint, but my grandfather takes great care of his stuff. He managed to get 22 YEARS out of a Eureka Bravo II PowerLine that saw regular use several times a week. We all know that the Bravo machines aren't exactly the most durable vacuums out there, so the Dyson should hold up fairly well in his care. Let me go ahead and say now that there is a solid 90% chance he's going to end up with the Dyson Ball 2 MultiFloor.
