I wanna buy...a new hoover, any recomendations please?

J20BABY

I have been through 3 this year after dp broke my last one
I'm sick of crappy ones thatstop sucking after a while and have bits breaking off, had a Morphy Richards (sp?) and a Hoover, both bought from Tesco and tried a cheapy one from Asda but took it back after 1 day. I prefer to not have a stand up one and would really like a lingish cable but not essential. Anyone recomend please? Budget-prefer under about £60 but could maybe go a bit higher.

TIA

I am also using hoover Its superb to creates products designed, you can buy it from online stores in very less prices.

Hi,

Well, I use DooYoo and Ciao to check out these things - sorry, can't link - but carrying out a search for "hoover" on each of them shows that (a) DooYoo sucks at this, and (b) the Dyson DC16 for £67.42, has some good reviews.

I personally have the Numatic HVR 200 - £88.98 from Amazon - and I think he's cute. Also fairly effective .

I bought a reconditioned dyson off ebay for about £40 and it's brilliant had it for 18 months now no problems. It's a DC04.

Well for a start the DC16 is a hand held dust buster and you won't be getting far with that as it only lasts 5 minutes on a full charge and takes more than an hour to charge it back up.

Personally speaking its hard to find a cheapish vacuum cleaner under £100 that's going to tick all the right boxes. Henry/James et al of the Numatic ranges are worth it if youre looking for something that has a large dust capacity and uses bags you have to buy. Downside is that Henry and all the models have a painful wind up cord system you have to do by hand and it can get tiresome. Also the smaller tools don't sit in or on the vacuum cleaner and the size of the hose can be a downside in small places.

Other options are:

Morphy Richards Pets Pet Lover cylinder vacuum at £97-99 (its a model that is made in Germany so it is much better made than most MR models, also bags are always available and does a good job at clean up).

Miele S381 at Comet for £99, again a bagged cylinder vacuum but very quiet of which you are paying for plus top notch suction and tools that can be hidden away. It is heavier but it does have an auto cord rewind and variable suction for even quieter performance. Bags are also easy to buy for Miele models generally.

Electrolux Z3319 at £39-99; a compact cylinder vacuum comes with bags and a reusable material dust bag however it is a smaller capacity vacuum that has half of the capacity of the other two models here. Reasonably quiet, downsides are small tubes and short power cord. Suction/performance is generally better than most.

As you'll see here I've given you bagged vacuums. They are better for suction even though in most cases you have to keep buying bags. Bagless is hopeless unless you can buy Dyson vacuums or Vax Mach or Vax Zero models which are slightly cheaper; they use the older Dyson technology with maximised suction and less time spent having to clean filters for optimum power and strength.

Lastly check out Tesco if you don't like shopping on EBay. Hoover's compact Flash at £49-99 is a small vacuum similar to the Electrolux given above.

If you dont like using bags or the thought of going out to buy consider any reconditioned Dyson (but you have to trust in what has been done) or consider the Vax Mach/Zero series. Vax machines tend to be noisy however the new filtration system means less mess and more power.

Thank you for all the replies, especially this one, as you've taken the time to give me all the imfo, I do think I will prefer a bagged one so will have a look at these ones. Thanks again for everyones imput

This seems cheap for a Miele. I bought one last year (different model) after struggling with my old Dyson for ages and it's a joy to use. Quiet, efficient and like most German products, beautifully made.

One word of warning though, the genuine Miele dustbags are expensive and when I was doing my research before buying I noticed quite a few people saying they'd bought cheap non-Miele bags and damaged their vacuum's motor.

Just wanted to add a few small points to this about vacuum cleaners.
I work for my parents and they own a shop in which we repair vacuum cleaners.
We repair most makes from dyson, bissell, vax, electrolux, panasonic, numatic (henry, hettie etc), and alot of them we do the 'under gaurantee' work for.
Some of these companies are FAR better than others if you have a problem under gaurantee, with panasonic generally coming accross as the ones that seem to go wrong the least.
Also very realiable are the numatic range e.g henry, hettie, george etc and having personally used a henry for years (with dogs, cats etc) i would totaly recomend as it is very easy to use on both hard wood floors and carpets.
The problem we seem to have with alot of the cheaper end vaccumm cleaners is the availabily of spare parts and accesories (bags, filetrs etc), so if you buy a cheap cleaner be aware that it is not always an option to have a repair carried out after the gaurantee period as the parts are often not available.
Recomended manufacturers for availability of spare parts are:
Panasnic (also appear to be very reliable)
Dyson (cannot comment on reliabilty - although do have a long gaurantee period)
Electrolux (although seem to be quite unreliale and go wrong alot)
Numatic
Vax (Although have a tendency to get blocked easily)
Hoover (although not sure how many models they are currently producing)

Most of the other makes (and especially shops own brand labels e.g argos, tesco etc.) are almost impossible to get spare parts for and therefore if they go wrong after the gaurantee period is up they are only heading for the bin (which is fine if they are very cheap and you are willing to replace it every year or two)

Really hope that helps some of you with your decisions on vaccuum clean purchasing:j

Ive always sworn by my Henry, that is until I tried my mums Miele....OMG Heaven, and a joy to use...believe it or not. They are apparently the top make...and the quality is top.

Thanks for all the replies on this, I decided to go with an Electrolux, I had one a few years ago and one of the parts broke, I called them to try and buy a replacement but the no longer made one, so seen as though I was still within the 2 year warranty period (by a week!) They sent me a catalogue to choose and new one, delivered it and took the other one away so to be honest, the good customer service has stuck with me.

The hoover i got seems better than the latest I've tried and managed to get it for less than£50 from Tesco with a discount voucher I had, so happy with it so far.

Denisemw-oh to be able to afford Miele everything!! That is my goal in life

Swindon_Baggie

I bought a Bissell bagless from Asda, for £25.

They are promoting the £40 version, so look hard for it.


Best purchase ever.
I mean that, bought VAIO's, Ipods, dysons, bosch, dualit. It is brilliant.
