Looking for recommendations for Vacuum cleaner

tim123456789

I haven't the faintest idea which section I should post this in so apologies if this is wrong, but I'm looking to buy a new vacuum.

I can't afford a Dyson and I'm looking for something in the 50-60 pound price range.

Several years ago I bought a no name bagless and it was CFU so I gave it away. I replaced it with a cheap standard vacuum and that wasn't much better (but at least it was cheap) and I now need to replace that.

I was going to buy a decent branded bagged vacuum but looking around the shops I see that theses are few and far between. Most of the brands have gone over to their version of bagless.

But having been caught once before I am reluctant to buy one of these without recommendation. (After all the Dyson technology is still in patent and three times the price so there must be some technological difference).

So does anyone have any experiences of branded (non Dyson) bagless vacuums in the above price range that they can share. I'm particularly interested in cylinder type.

TIA

I agree with Ormus. A Henry every time and it will last decades.

Get a Miele off t'Bay?

Henry every time, Ive had mine for years and it still does the job as it did the first day I used it.

Foggster

Miele all the way.

Henry gets my vote. You might get him cheap in a sale.

Another vote for Henry - he really is good!

SEBO X4 for the house and red henry for all and I mean all the other crap jobs:D

I concur with all the above.

Sebo, Miele, or Numatic (Henry) are all very good cleaners.

I've also been looking for a bagged cylinder vacuum recently too, I seem to have read hundreds of reviews . I had the same sort of budget as you but I have decided to spend a teeny bit more and go for a panasonic MC-CG691. It seemed to get good reviews and seemed like everything I wanted, plus is a better shape for me to store than the henries (and I was scared of them when I was little!). I think it's £76 at amazon, just waiting to get paid again to buy it.
