decent cheap hoover

[ruletheroose]

which hoovers would you recommend? I've got a vax atm, had it about 1 year and it's absolutely shit. horrendous in fact. Don't want to spend loads and loads. Don't mind whether it's upright or one with a long tube thing either (Henry type) I have laminate all downstairs, with just a large shaggy rug in the sitting room, carpet all upstairs (other than bathroom) and carpet on the stairs. I quite like the though jt of a Henry type of vacuum but will look at all suggestions. thanks in advance!

For the money I think the Henry is great, who knows how it compares to a Meile but I didn't have the money for a meile and the hoover gets treated dreadfully in our house so I'm not sure that i would have bought a meile even if I had that amount of money in the budget. The Henry will happily hoover up pretty much anything that is left under the table after messy eaters (including baby weaning and bits of 'accidentally' dropped broccoli). I also bought the red beater attachment for the Henry which is good for carpets and rugs.
