Vacuum Cleaners

Our Hoover 3470 died yesterday after 4 years of ownership. We bought a panasonic bagless cylinder about 12 months ago as thought it would be lighter for the stairs etc.

Piad £140 it was absolute rubbish.

Was going to just get another hoover upright bagged to replace the old one but have been reading some awful reviews.

Can anybody recommend a decent upright hoover please or a good site for reviews. Only come accross which and don't fancy subscribing.


Thanks

    In my opinion you can't beat a Henry or a Vax
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    F U Fund currently at £250

    I've always wanted to get a Dyson, but apparently they're not as good as they are cracked up to be.

    However I heard that Miele do a good one, but I'm no expert.

    At the moment I have a tiny Dustbuster, as I have floorboards not carpeting right now.

    Will be paying attention to this thread then.

    The Dyson DC07 animal is good. We had a problem after 3 years of it motor cutting out. Dyson came on Friday and replaced the motor for free thats aftre 3 years of use. They also supplied me with a new filter and cyclone thing.

    I am sure you can now pick this model up for £120 or so.

    Don't touch the Dyson.

    The brand to buy is Sebo

    Go for a Sebo 4 Extra, you should be able to get one of t'internet for £200 use pricerunner for a list of best prices.

    Trust me Sebo is the Rolls Royce of vacumm cleaners.

    I recently had a bagged hoover. It was awful, the beater bar thing stopped working after 2 months. We went with Hoover as my mum always had them when we were little and they were great, but obviously times have changed!

    Just for extra info, she currently has a Dyson and hates it. Its loosing its suction and is really heavy. She won't have another one when it breaks.

    I need a new vacuum too. I have just seen this Vax on Ebay for £15 & £10 p&p.

    It is a bagless Vax, regraded (a fixed return).

    Reviews on Amazon & dooyoo seem pretty good but I am a bit sceptical that it is so cheap?!

    We got a 1900w Bagless Hoover from Ebay for £46 delivered (RRP 130) - chuffed to bits with it, especially at the price.
