Recommend a cheap hoover? (pref Tesco)

Kantankrus_Mare

Our hoover packed up last week and had a call from the menders to say it would be £80 to repair as the motor had gone :eek:

Told him obviously to forget it and I'm a little peeved to say the least as I don't think we have had it much longer than 18 months to two years. (Cost just over £100)

Anyway I need to get a new one but don't really want to spend an awful lot........can anyone recommend a decent upright that I might get from Tesco? May as well get the points :rolleyes:

I got a great hoover from tesco for £49.95 a few months back, its upright, fairly powerful and comes with a couple of attachments. I cant remember then name of it offhand, but its dark blue and the cylinder is see through without a bag so similar to a dyson in that respect - in fact i think its better than my old dyson although that was fairly worn out.

ps - have checked its made by Vax and is called bubble.

We bought an electrolux bagless upright from Tesco about a year ago for £80. About the 1/3 of the price of a Dyson and every bit as good in my opinion.

I've always said the henry is a great little vacuum cleaner, seem to go on for a long time.

we have just brought a bagless hovve from tesco for £30-£40 best hting about it is the handle folds over so can be stored easier.

We normaly go through two hoovers a year weather they are £150 or £20

Thanks for your replies.

Went and got one today. Ended up with a black and purple upright Tesco number for £60.

Seems to do the business so we will have to see how long this one lasts :rolleyes:

I've come to the conclusion that vacuums and kettles self destruct in our house so I now buy the cheapest that oes the job (usually asda), take it back if it dies within a year then take it to the recycling thing after that.
My last vacuum, a cylinder one from Asda was about £35 and marvellous. It's still limping along a few years later with one wheel that I have to shove back on every now and then, but it still sucks like a good 'un!

Yeah i've found the same with kettles Jaquelyn.. (could be the Lincolnshire water?) lol

A few years ago we bought a flash kettle from Next that changed colour depending on what the water was doing..........looked very pretty and was quite expensive.

Broke after 3 months and had to return it.

Can't do without my cuppa so did a dash to Asda and bought the cheapest they had.............think it was four pound something and its still working to this day


Welcome to MSE by the way ......where in Lincolnshire are you?
