    Go to a shop and let her try it first, she will get a feel for how easy they are to move around, and whether the bag changing is fiddly or not.

    Then look for the best deal online.

  • I would go for Oreck. My wife has arthritis & finds the Oreck very light & easy to move about. It also picks up really well on both carpet or hard floors. We have had ours for over 9yrs & it is still going strong.

    We have a Sebo. I don't have arthritis but it's too heavy for me, OH has to do the vacuuming (but I'm not complaining :D ).
  • I have arthritis, I've been thinking of getting one of those hand held jobs to do bits and bobs with.
