Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

I have a SEBO too, they do a pet hair version which is great! We have 2 tabby cats whose mission in life is to cover every surface in our house with their fur! hmm

agree with iMum,I use a Sebo for cleaning-they are pretty damn good.

Am thinking of getting non bagless - have a Dyson, but everytime I change the cylinder, dust goes everywhere - not good for DD and her asthma...

Miele?

Is Henry very heavy to carry upstairs? Do they all come red with a silly face? Had a Miele dog and cat one but really not that impressed.

Miele cylinder vacs are the most reliable, according to 13,000 of our members, closely followed by Henrys.

miele are great, I've just bought a limited edition special offer one today "red Pearl" for £170 which include a 5 year guarantee, you could probably get it cheaper on line but I wanted one there & then & to support local inde shops.

Miele although never had a Henry but they do seem to get raved about. Had numerous Dysons but they weren't that great. Miele all the way from now on.

Henry! had countless dysons and bisl (or however its spelt) and the henry has outlasted them all and still going strong.

I used to have a dyson now have a Henry and really pleased with it, not too pricey either.
