Argh yes the "Works for me" argument. I suppose my mother was lying when she was complaining about it then? I will take her word for it rather than random internet user. So not it isn't patently untrue. I really dislike it when people try to gaslight me, on things that I have first hand experience with, so please don't do it.

BTW The old Henry Hoover (not bagless) never had any problems.

Indeed, your own anecdata are as good as mine, and taken just as seriously.

Not to me it isn't. I think you are trying to justify the fact that you paid far too much for a vacuum cleaner, like most people do when they buy overpriced item and point out the obvious problems with their products.

I own a Land Rover. It is old, expensive and unreliable. You know how I justify my spending on it? I like driving it.
