Well said Root! We can go back and forwards when it comes to vacuum cleaner testing but the real proof is the real ownership and what people who aren't so clued up about vacuums let alone other appliances put their vacuums through.
Numatic would be good or for an upright SEBO's BS36 uprights. When both withstand general abuse in hospitals and schools, sometimes going for a commercial vacuum pays for itself in a rough household. |

I was having a Rolly at work the other day, watching an autoglass guy doing his thing, and saw a very big nvq he was using to Hoover up the broken glass. The bin was almost square it had been smashed about so much but it still worked fine and sounded like new! |

I don't know how "rough" a family can be with appliances like vacuums, but I've certainly unclogged a few Dysons in my time when it is required to clean up after 4 people in a family and 2 dogs. After all the amount of "clogged" bagless vacs you see on here, whether the machines in question have been dumped and rescued by collectors/members on here let alone classic vacuums like Hoover Juniors that have never been cleaned out, it is little wonder that ANY family, regardless of how many occupants they are, can and will abuse a vacuum cleaner.
My original point about saying that I wasn't too sure how long the Dyson would last didn't just cover that model completely, but rather reiterate the point that as collectors, we do treat our machines differently. I bet I can put a stake on those who have a daily driver and yet are careful with their machines, unlike my late mother who used to bounce our old Junior off skirting boards so much, there were many face plate replacements until the last one just got taped down with several layers of masking tape. She was a teacher. She had no time to clean home. She left that to me : ) |
