After 5 years of using a Dyson, I was looking for an excuse to get rid of it. I then heard about the Numatic Henry and after reading several reviews, I decided to cast caution to the wind and buy one. That was several weeks ago and I can honestly say, it is one of the best purchases I have made this year.
Unlike my old Dyson, the Henry actually cleans the carpet thoroughly and what is even more amazing, I'm only using it on the half power setting. On full power, it nearly swallowed the carpet!
As for the Dyson, it has been dumped along with all the other rubbish.
