The Dogmother Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 That sounds good, 95% of the house is boards and the scraggy carpet that is left won't be there for long! Phil has fiddled with my old vacuumm and managed to get it to work after a fashion, so it's not so urgent now and I can shop around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Miele girl here too!! I've had a Miele White Pearl for somewhere between 10 and 15 years and it is absolutely brilliant! It cost a lot, but averaged over the years, I'd say it's pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Miele here as well I killed three Dysons before I went back to bags I have the animal one also, fantastic. It is sooooo easy on hard floors and makes like work of the dust bunnies I vacuum the ground floor every day and it is still going strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'm sure I remember getting a leaflet last week with my debenhams statement offering 10% of vacuums. Might be worth checking if you have an account with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenuk99 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 This is really interesting, I have a dyson cylinder a 21 I think havent seen it around now though it is an animal hair one and has a mortorised head but is soo heavy to move around nevermind taking it up the stairs. Would really like to sell it and get a lighter one. Its the rabbit hair thats the main thing oh and the dyson is not good at sucking up rabbit poo. Woul not recommend my dyson.

Charlottechicken Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I am looking for a cylinder, bagless, non-upright cleaner which has decent 'suck' (say 2000W) and can cope with pet hair. I also want to spend under £100 and it mustn't be too heavy Clare, I could've written that I will be reading this with interest. Every time I think I have found one I want, I read a review (Argos and Great Universal) and discover more than one person has something bad to say about the vacuum I have just set my heart on I have one on loan at the mo' from my mum, a Swan, but it weighs a ton and isn't good at hair (which I shed a lot of ). I too think I may need to part with a considerable chunk of money to get something half decent rather than trying to find a bargain which just doesn't exist Let us know when you have made your choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 It will be a while yet Claire as Phil has managed to shore up my tired old vacuum after I'd done my best and thought it was euthanasia time I am happy to be resusitating somethign though rather than goin gout to buy new. I've come to the conclusion that the less you pay, the quicker they go wrong so I think that the Miele one sounds like the best investmen when the time does come.

abwsco Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Clare, Miele quite often have specials of free 5 year parts and labour warranty as well so something else to factor in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenuk99 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi all Just saw another small cylinder cleaner at the weekend and wanted to know if anyone had an experience of it. Electrolux ergoeasy HEPA bagless cleaner Thanks Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlyn9391 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Miele every time for us - we bought ours second hand more than 10 years ago and it's still going strong. Copes brilliantly with cat hair (we have loads of that), dried mud (we have loads of that too), and does a great job of removing cat litter that gets stuck between the planks in our tatty victorian floorboards! It is a bit heavy but it's well balanced for carrying, so we move it up and down between floors just fine. Well, you have a great decisions of buying that vacuum cleaner. In it's more than 10 years ago and it's still going strong. That is great. _________________ Furnace Filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 new electrolux pet car -upright with lots of attatchments, no bag & washable filter, quite light, OH got it last week, £110, works well on my floor boards, & you can select short or long pile carpet too. It was scary how much cat hair it got off my floors I have a dyson 05 if anyone wants it, the motor is on the way out but it would be good for spares, it has a new cylinder (clear plastic that the dust gets sucked into) and all the atatchments - I would like to just get it out of the way, otherwise its going to the tip which would be a shame.
