Used my Henry Hoover for 14 years and think it's brilliant.

£100 - job done.

Henry, we also have a Miele but the Henry is just better!

no pets so just general child crumb mess.

You're always able to get more power with a corded one. I've heard mixed reviews about the Dyson ones - i'm really not sold on them. I bought a Vax cordless which to be honest is very good, more than adequate for my 3 bed house with two cats, but yeah it's not going to be the ultimate. Pros and cons.

Went for a Vax Air Reach U90-MA, got it for 71.00 and does the job just fine. Nice and light for the mrs.

Had various Dysons for years but felt they lost their way with the rollerball design. Read a few (well a lot) of reviews on the John Lewis website for Sebo and decided to give one a try. Glad I did, excellent machine and wouldn't go back to a Dyson again.

Get a shark, highly underrated vacuum cleaners.

For those recommending the Miele Cat and Dog, is this based on a pet household? Just wondering what its like for normal hoovering as I don't have any pets.

Another vote for the Miele cat and dog here and I own neither a cat nor a dog.

The cat and dog bit purely means it comes with the turbo that is rebranded as cat and dog. If you have carpet you will want the turbo head regardless of pet hair.

I am very anti bagless cleaners, having owned numerous and spent far too much time cleaning filters and trying to get the dirt out that wedges inside. By the very nature of a bagged cleaner the bag does 99% of the filtering meaning they are far far cleaner to use. The miele also compacts the dirt very well meaning we only get through a bag every 2-3 months in a 3 bedroom house.
