Reply to comment by gargravarr2112 in I refurbished a Henry! These things are indestructible… by J3ttf

Bagged vacuums actually filter better and make vacuums last longer. Sure they’re an expendable but it means that you’re not buying a new machine every few years. Plus the bags are biodegradable

I have very different experience. I have Dyson bagless for at least 5 years now with no intention of replacement so it's not like you have to buy new machine every few years. I've encountered a few Henry while renting as they are the hoover of choice for landlords. They all didn't have very good suction even with new bag, and for some reason they all smelled awful. Idk, maybe I am bias and have a mild form of PTSD from renting, everytime I see a Henry all I could think of were the smell and the landlords' faces.

Dyson are half decent, not great quality but good warranties and customer service to make up for it

I also have a Dyson. The company now is a bit awful but their older root-cyclone models are very good. I don't expect it to outlive me, but it's reliable, well built and maintainable. Bought this DC-08 secondhand and it keeps working. Performs well too.

Oh I love the DC08, it has brilliant suction. Probably one of my favourite Dyson’s next to the DC04
