Another vote for the dyson (DC07 we have). Not only is it a blooming good cleaner but you get 3year guarantee and have never had any hassles getting replacement parts (must have gone though 5 stair tools by now!). Excellent customer services.

That was my experience with Dyson - excellent customer service. Can't comment on Miele's customer service because I haven't used them! That's the point - the Dyson always needs replacement parts/tubes etc. Had my Miele over a year now and still as good as new - that didn't happen with either of my Dysons!

Thanks for all your replies. I hadn't heard of Miele, and will look into them. Thanks again for everyones comments

One to definitely give a miss is the Morphy Richards bagless one. I got one last February from Argos - it was around £65 and it was the biggest waste of money ever. I got it for my business, so it's not like it was cleaning a very high traffic area, but it would overheat after a couple of minutes use. Oh, and it doesn't pick up tiny bits of paper.

I'm a Dyson fan - I'm on my second (only because the kids managed to break a part on the first one and we haven't got round to going to the spares shop for a new bit yet - when we do get round to fixing it, it's going straight to the office to replace the rubbish MR one).

Interesting post. I also need to replace a hoover.

Any recommendations as to cost? Places to buy from?

Thanks

I've got a Dyson, and can vouch with loads of others here that it does the jonb - it is an 'ALL FLOOR' model, so can be used on wooden floor and carpet, which is what I need.
Admittedly the wife finds it a bit heavy on the stairs, but that is something that you will have to check for yourself after looking at it.

By all accounts there are positive comments abotu the Miele, and I know that people that have bought there goods (fridge, freezer, washing machine) are more than pleased with it. Well made products. Cannot comment on the vacum cleaner as I don't personally know anyone that has one.

Search on the net for prices, after you have gone to a store and decided.

Good luck

Meeten if the wife finds it a bit heavy on the stairs be a gent and do them for her

I had to laugh at my hubby with the hoover. I had bought it about 4 years previously and after me having a whinge he got the hoover out to clean up. He kept pressing the handle release button to try to switch it on because he didn't know where the on button was. Boy did I prove my point that I do all the bloody housework

Dyson DC07, Animal if you've got furry things in your house (handy turbo brush thingy for getting pet hair off the stairs). A *lot* more powerful than earlier Dysons, but the double edged sword is that it does make it more tiring as you constantly fight against it pulling the carpet up.

The good thing about Dysons, particularly the more modern ones, is that they're very modular and readily come to pieces when maintenance is necessary. Because of this I'd question how anyone could ever manage to kill one altogether, but my brother managed it (then again he does work on a building site). Older Dysons had parts that needed regular renewal, particularly the filters - newer ones are washable hence less need for that.

They don't like shake and vac either :mad:

I would recommend a Dyson. I have the model which is designed for carpet and wooden flooring.
Picks up everything, is easy to move around, attachments reach up stairs and up to ceilings. I have had mine over 2 years and have not had any problems, still works as good as new. Also looks good too!
