Buying a Vacume cleaner

[bsodmike]

Get a Dyson, the asthma rated one I got did my breathing wonders...

Edit: I see you got the DC19, same one I went for as well. It's good!

A whole £150.

Please don't spend that much on something that sucks up crap.

Ermm a sensible suggestion. a good alrounder? VAX V-020 can be used to wash carpets and as a bagless just to vacuum normally. Plus at 80 quid you have cash left for something useful.

My last VC (not the mil service type!!), Sainsburys 25quid bagless cylinder. only bad points are that it rolls a bit easy and can switch it's self off. Also quality of foot switch for raising and lowering brushes on head is a not great, but it has a stainless steel shaft and does the job.

Opps Correction on the VAX, you need to get a standard head with it as well to use as normal VC.

I 2nd that had a vax for over 3 years now and so handy when you spill drinks or flood the kitchen

You only had it for 5 years and it broke?

Our Miele has been going for ages (more than 5 easily) - tell the missus she can stuff it, why buy another one that'll break?

tell the missus she can stuff it

That will probably invalidate the warranty.
