Lightweight vacuum cleaner

Doing more research I notice some of them have mech on the base and just up the handle and others have it all on the top of handle - Does having it on the handle make it top heavy or does it feel balanced.
This little Bissel one we have is just like having a hand held with a long handle as everything is all on the base.
Checked container and filter today - There wasn't a lot of room left for more dust and fluff and it hasn't had a great deal of use.
You have to be careful - was looking at Bosch and noticed some were 21v -25v and another more than 25v.

Get yourself a robovac and then just top up the cleaning once a fortnight with a deeper clean from a manual vacuum.

Do they actually work though.. How do they cope with corner dust and dust close to a skirting board for example.

Especially when you live in a house where there's a step up into the kitchen from the living room...

Do they have modern dalek capability?

Most have wide sweeping brushes, so corners and getting under skirting aren't an issue. It won't go down a step though unfortunately, so will need a mostly flat floor - can go over door thresholds and thick pile rugs etc. You'll still need to manually vacuum tops of skirting and ceiling/coving corners etc though.
 
What a anti climax -Got to Curry's and they only has 4 makes on display and even the lightest one was much heavier than we thought it would be. It was advertised at 2.2kg where online they say it's 4.5kg.
We didn't buy anything but the worst was to come.
We went to Meole Brace retail park in Shrewsbury. - Never again. We were queuing to get out - I have never been in a retail park as bad as that one.
Now we are trying to decide if it's worth buying one in the first place .
One major question -Are they loud like our hand held vac's they scream and sound awful.
I did see a silverline in Lidl last week for £69. Perhaps I should have snatched it up as it was only one on shelf.
Why isn't anything easy these day's - In the old days you always bought a Hoover as it was the only one on market.
I try my hardest to spend money but it never happens.
