Vacuum cleaners

I WANT TO BUY A NEW VACUUM CLEANER. ANY DOS OR DONTS. I'VE GOT A DYSON, BUT FOUND IT REALLY HEAVY TO CARRY AND HANDLE. ANYONE BOUGHT A PANASONIC 2000W BAGGED ONE RECENTLY? IF SO, WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

    I've got a panasonic, but tbh I don't think its that great! Thankfully I didn't have to pay for it, but rather a building company after breaking my last one!

    They do cost more than most vacuum cleaners but are well worth the extra . But i understand you about its too much for this time of year.
    I remember looking for a Sebo for a friend a few months back and i found 1 for about £180 ! Yipes thats the price of a holiday .
  • After hours and hours researching on here I decided that a Sebo would be the best but it was too pricey for me. I went for a Miele which Which highly recommend. Either go for the Cat & Dog one or the one I have which costs around £129 - check this one out:

    You can go one up and they come with 2 year guarantees which is excellent. I have 3 kids and i love this as it gets used twice a day. It's nice and compact and not so heavy too. I know it's bagged but its so much better than my old Dyson - the dust never stayed in when you tried to empty it out!!

    Oh and there's free delivery and a £20 off £100 code wafting about so go for it! Don't forget Quidco and you could bag yourself a vacuum cleaner for £100!

    :T
  • THANKS EVERYBODY. HERE WE GO ON THE VACUUM TRAIL THEN.
  • hi,
    i am not sure exactly what you are looking for cariad123 but have a look at this offer in MAKRO's ( non-food brochure 24, page 10)
    you could get a "total home cleaning pack" from Vax for 159.99 (excl.VAT)

    I hope this helps

    Go for a Henry - just under £100 and, in my opinion, the best.

    How about this Vax from Amazon? Was £80, now £40 (inc free delivery). Gets good reviews.
