Or am I mad?
I have a Henry which I bought about 8 years ago, love him and he's never gone wrong but it's never just a quick clean up with it. Mainly just use him for the car and cleaning up after diy projects now or when I'm spring cleaning and want to get in every gap. I have since got a dog and Henry not good on pet hair.
about 4 years ago I bought a cordless dyson v7 which is still going okay with several new parts but I love it for quick clean ups, okay with pet hair
last year I bought a shark, I have owned a shark previously and didn't last long but decided on a new one. I bought it because my daughter suffers from allergies and it's great for getting every last bit of dust up.
henry is in the cupboard, dyson on the wall and shark gets left out so doesn't take up too much room.
also have a crappy handheld for the car which I wish I never bought and it's pants.
Dp thinks I'm mad. Mil thinks I'm mad! Everyone thinks I am mad.
I have owned other brands in the past that broke after a year - hoover, vax etc!
but they all have their own purpose in a busy family home with a dog and kids!
