Agreed, I too have the Miele Cat and Dog C3 model, fantastic piece of kit. Also great that Action sell the replacement bags for it at a much more affordable price than buying them from John Lewis online.

That is indeed a bonus.
As a general point anything Miele makes is excellent value for money. Their products are more expensive but you donât buy them very often, nor want to as they just do the job day in, day out. Their cost per use must be very low.

True - I have a 20yr old Miele cat&dog with a revolving brush head as well as the C3âŠ
Both are excellent in getting dirt out of every nook and crevice but the seperately triggered revolving brush head is better removing hair in rugs and carpet.
The newer C3 is quieter and uses less electricity but is just as good in general cleaning. And it has a 12m long cord.
Henry every time best by far, I know some one that used to service electrical stuff for cleaning companys and they said the Henry hoovers were by far the most reliable.

The motors have thermal protection so thats one reason they work so long. All parts available too.
My wifeâs finally happy with a vacuum cleaner for doing the many Persian carpets left to us by her mother. Itâs made by Karcher and looks like a yellow Henry - thankfully minus the stick-on-eyes. And unlike Henrys, it hasnât got a name and nor will it christened (and certainly not by full-immersion baptism). Once one starts christening household appliances, where will it end? And where will they end up - e-Heaven, Purgatory, Limbo, Hell, or the dĂ©chetterie?
Anyhow my wife was very impressed by a demo in Bricorama, where one of these machines, mounted in a Perspex tube sucked up a ten-pin bowling ball. Despite our house not being that dirty, and my warning about sucking up chats and caniches, she went ahead and got it. Seems very happy with it and our menagerie remains intact. OTOH, of course itâs too heavy for her to carry up and down stairs (three storey house) and itâs a bugger on a spiral staircase. But it seems to suck very well and one can even catch flies with it, they just disappear into the nozzle.
If you have a Henry, some 32mm pipe clamps, suitably sized jubilee clips and a box ful,of odd fasteners; you can probably McGuiver yourself a handy attachment holder like this.

Heinrich, surely? 
ânor will it christenedâ.
Thank goodness, it can suck up water but not sure you should immerse it.
