Advice on new vacuum cleaner

I have a corded Miele for downstairs but the bags are so expensive to buy and also because the machine is elderly but working perfectly it is also difficult to find any and I spend ages online these days.

I have a small, light plug in one for upstairs which is bagless. Not the best suction but is fine for me and I have a lot of hairs around having a cat. I do not have any carpets so I fond the floors easier to clean.

Can't recommend a cordless, as I have only had corded vacuum. cleaners. But have to say after buying 3 dysons over recent years, my latest purchase was a Shark and I can thoroughly recommend it. It is so much lighter than any of my previous vacuum cleaners and the suction is unbelievable. A vast improvement on any of my dysons.

Having had a H***y for many years, just bought a S***k, the one for pets. No pets, but I have long hair that seems to moult into the carpets. The suction is amazing, but it is heavier than the previous one, I also like you can take a bit right off to do the stairs etc.
The amount it picks up is shaming!

I love my G***H K9 A**Ram. Excellent cleaning and really good at picking up pet hairs. Previously I had the standard model which was also very good. Very light and easy to take upstairs. The customer service is second to none too. Any problem resolved swiftly over the phone and new parts if needed) delivered the next day. The only downside is you need an additional hand held cleaner for edges, stairs and upholstery etc. The one that can be bought with the main cleaner is very good but increases the price! I wouldn't hesitate to buy another when my current one gives up!

I've just bought a new vacuum cleaner because I couldn't get the bags for my Miele. As Chuckles says, the cordless tend to have less suction, plus the charge may not last long enough for a thorough clean.
I bought a little Bush one, very small and light but the suction is not as powerful as the Miele.

I agree Chuckles.
I use one at my Aunts and it is pretty rubbish it is a V.x and was not cheap.
I own a H...y and love it.

Hi H1954 - my experience (having a D***n upright and a G***h cordless, which is much lighter than the D***n) is that there’s less suction with a cordless. Depends on your circumstances - if you have a pet, live on your own, etc as to what suits you best.
