vacuum cleaner HELP!!!!!

my_definition

hi guys,

i moved out of my parents 6 months ago and have already killed 2 vacuum cleaners. I think it was because its a small one i had (trust me i wasnt using it too much) and it was from asda. Since returning the last one ive been totally confused by what is a good buy and what i need.

I think i need a normal sized upright one (not a light of compact) and im looking for as cheap as i can thought a decent quality. I think my max budget is about £70 though would prefer nearer £60.

Baisically i havent a clue and have been wasting time online trying to work it out. Can anyone please help????

Hi

Your problem is your bidget. You say you want a quality vacuum cleaner for £60-70. I'm afraid that's impossible! For this budget a vacuum cleaner won't last long and will be a false economy. You would really need to invest in excess of I would say £130 to get a properly built machine.

As the saying goes, "Buy cheap, buy twice".

a henry hoover wouldnt be much over your budget,youll get one in amazon for £80ish,they have quite a good reputation as reliable ,sturdy cleaners..they even have them in lots of different colours including pink!

Another vote for Henry here, I have had mine for years, very efficient.

Hettie is the pink one.

If you shop around you should be able to get one for under £100.

Like the other poster says, buy cheap buy twice.

i know my budgets not much im totally skint just now with christmas and just having got my own place. i could maybe strach to £100 but i was thinking i might get something in a sale thats supposed to have been £150. for a decent hoover what kind of power or capacity should i be looking for? does lightweight mean less hardy?

thanks

Pay a bit more than £100 and can get a cheap Dyson

Wouldnt touch a dyson, mainly becasue we lent and gave Mr Dyson hundreds of thousands of pounds, then when he was making the big money he sodded off abroad leaving hundreds of people jobless. Bags and repairs to Dysons are really expensive anyway.

Stick to a Henry
