Having pets really means you need a powered brush  I did look into the turbo brush thing - I've got 2 cats who love to spread hair everywhere. I looked into the Henry with turbo brush, think they'tre about £140ish. Would be interested to see how much better they are.  My Henry does seem to do a better job than my old Dyson at sucking up cat hairs though.

Strix   11 #53 Posted August 13, 2005 I'm sure you can get a generic turbo brush for Henry for around £20-25. Try Killi's Cleaners at Attercliffe or on the Orgreave industrial Estate in Handsworth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

uniB Â Â 10 #58 Posted August 13, 2005 What are those vacuum cleaners that cost about 18 thousand pounds and look like they're from 1952 that door to door sales people sell - generally to old people who haven't got the abilty to tell them to go away - are they a con or are they actually worth 18 thousand pounds?

Strix   11 #59 Posted August 13, 2005 It's a Kirby  http://www.kirby.com/gb/story02.shtml  but they are immensely practical if you have a 20 bedroom mansion with parquet floors etc, because they can have attachments for re-sanding floors and a plethora of other things none of us will ever be able to justify spending that amount of money on for a domestic vacuum cleaner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
chocotiger   10 #60 Posted August 14, 2005 In 1988 I remember a Kirby sales man begging me to buy a vacuum cleaner for £400. For the demo he sprinkled salt on the carpet and ran it over a fag to show how the tobacco was removed & not the paper. He then sucked up all the dead skin off my bed...lovely Was a fantastic piece of cleaning equipment but we decided to buy a Fiesta instead and go to Skeggy.
