vacuum cleaners - buying

Hi

I would like a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner and was wondering where, online to buy the cheapest but decent vacuum cleaner, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks

    Hi Diable, had a look at miele - thanks, but was looking at something a bit cheaper.

    Anyone had any good experiences with buying HEPA vacuums on ebay?

    Any other suggestions apart from that please?

    Thank you

    I love my Vax :)

    They are often quite well reduced in supermarkets and I think the last time I saw them on sale was in The Range (but this was a couple of weeks ago). I don't know if you have one of these near you but there were good reductions.

    I can personally vouch for GED if you want cheap but good quality: http://www.graded-electricals-direct.co.uk/
  • What we did - decide the vacuum cleaner we wanted on the high street and then used price comparison sites like pricerunner and kelkoo to get the best deal - we got ours from the co-op's on line electrical store and it was very prompt, efficient service.

    It would probably help others suggest vacuum cleaners for you if you indicated your price range and key features other than the HEPA filter. For us the key feature was weight as we have a town house - 3 sets of stairs!!!

    Which Magazine has some sub £100 cleaners in its "Best Buys" .
    This one - The Bosch BSGL3126GB Pro Energy - gets 74%.
    Which Mag. says that it is a good option for allergy sufferers.
    Google it for suppliers.
    Forgotten but not gone.
