which bagless vacum cleaner is kind on the wallet, and top quality???

hello all,

I currently have a vacum cleaner on its way out. I currently have a bagless Russell Hobbs, and I have had noithing but problems with it, so i want shot of it, and get a good one. I have stairs in my home, and I have a pet cat. I dont want to buy baggs, so bagless please. I have some vouchers for amazon and argos, but prepared to buy anywhere, so long as it is a good price and is a reasonable quality, built to last.

the best machine cleaner i ever bought was a miele, but they are so pricey these days.

any help/suggestions????
Trinidad - I have a number of needs. Don't shoot me down if i get something wrong!!

    When my Dyson expired I bought a Panasonic UL592 for £134. Had it for a year and it is as good as the Dyson. Comes with a six year guarantee.
    Just checked the Panasonic store and it has dropped to £109.99. (still with the long guarantee).
    Forgotten but not gone.

    Interestingly we have moved back to bags and have a Sebo for upstairs (carpets) and a Henry downstairs (wooden floor).

    Bags are a bit of a pain but I think on balance they just work out slightly better for us.

    Oh the Henry has a re-usable bag with a zip (but it would be poor on carpets if you have pets).

    I know you don't want bags but you DO have a cat.

    I'd highly recommend the Miele cat and dog, approx £130 and incredible!

    Are Miele still doing a 10 year warranty?

    Can't stand the cloud of dust you get when emptying a Dyson, had one for a few years.
    Then I bought a proper vacuum cleaner. Go Miele Cat and Dog!
    OK the bags are expensive but have a large capacity so don't need changing that often,
    Only downside is that mine is built like a Tiger Tank and is a bit heavy.

    PS Would not give any Dyson product houseroom, a man who can sell £300 fan heaters is beyond contempt.

    Our Bissell Clearview Compact that we bought for <£40 is the best cleaner both me and OH (and the girls!!) have ever used!!

    I have a vax and its brilliant a poor mans dyson perhaps but to spend £250 on a hoover seems absurd to me and it is supposed to be a money saving site

    Had a Vax, very noisy but did work well. Bissell are sturdy built and quieter. Always thought about a Miele but couldn't find a good deal at the time.

    I have a morphy Richards vorticity. It's efficient, well made. I paid £70 ish.
    Comet at that time wanted £199. I see there's an ad for one on Ebay for £55. (refurbished)

    Dysons are built by poor men and women in Malaysia, after James sacked the UK workforce.
