New Vacuum - which one?

Hi,
we need a new vacuum - the one we have is on it's last legs.
we have a mixture of wooden floors, lino floors and carpet. We also have stairs so need an attachment to clear the stairs.
the oh doesn't want a cylinder as in the past these have given her backache.

Would prefer bagless with good filters.

What should I be on the look out for? And what sort of budget should I be looking at?

Cheers
Rich

    Last year I bought myself a new vacuum & as I'd been really pleased with my previous Vax I decided to go for one of their's again. I've got a mixture of wooden & tiled floors plus carpet & like you have stairs. I've also got a cat so one that could cope very well with pet hair was important. So I decided to go with this one http://www.vax.co.uk/vacuum-cleaners/air-pet-upright

    It's one of the lightest & most powerful vacs on the market & I'm really pleased with it. I love the stretchy hose that reaches from the bottom of the stairs to the top & the turbo tool is a great addition.

    Sometimes Vax have really good special offers on their website, but I ended up buying mine from Ebay as it worked out about £90 cheaper.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
