Put a small amount of glue in the rim of the plastic screw bit and screw it on counter clockwise :)

Oh and to clean them you can remove the black plastic piece and chuck it in the wash on a low heat setting, they don’t recommend it but I’ve never had any issues.

It’s fairly thick and in conjunction with the HEPA bags it doesn’t really get dirty. They also do a proper HEPA model for allergy sufferers

Good luck, they’re really tough! I’m not really sure what your kid could do to it to be honest…

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

They’re brilliant machines but they can be heavy for older people, especially the more common 200 size.

Very easy as I’m familiar with them and they’re easy to work on. I remove all plastic parts and put them in the dishwasher then polish them. As for the electrics I just checked over the brushes and bearings and give everything a good clean! I bought a new filter and a genuine tool kit for it as well to give it new performance

Most household vacuums like Shark and Dyson are tested to withstand 5 years. Henry is built to last 40

This model is 900w and the new ones are 620w. Most old vacuums actually use a lot less electricity, but their motors are less efficient.

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