Exciting stuff here for the house husbands amongst you. I've got a Bosch cylinder vacuum that's about 6 years old. It does a good job overall as it's 2000w but it's not great on the wood floor downstairs as my 3 year old gets glitter everywhere, which then gets into the crevices of the floor that the Bosch can't get out due to it having no brush.
This is turn makes me want to get a new vacuum that can work well on the floor downstairs, but upstairs we have wool carpet throughout and I was told to not use a brush style vacuum on the carpet as it'll pull all the fibres up. So I'm kind of stuck in the middle.
I've seen some Shark models that allow you to turn the brush off - NV681UKT - but what put me off is the apparent lack of spares for when parts break.
I also like the look of the Dyson Lightball Multifloor as you can raise and lower the roller. Also the roller doesn't look particularly aggressive like some other ones. The only thing that puts me off this is that we had a V6 from 2014 and it was the worst vacuum cleaner we've ever owned.
They're both ~£200. Any other suggestions that would work for a wool carpet and good hard floor cleaning?
