Many thanks for these ideas. Shark seems a good bet.

The Shark hair wrap cordless is good and very lightweight. Easy to empty and change the tools. Battery life is enough to do up and down on a four bed house on one charge.

I have a Shark too and I’m very impressed, its so light compared to my old cleaner which was good but far too big & heavy as I have back problems. Mine isn’t the chargeable version but it’s very efficient & easy to use. Only downside is it doesn’t stand up in its own so you have to prop it up when you have a break. I’m sure they do a lightweight cordless one too.

My daughter bought a shark vacuum. I'm afraid I don't know the model. She suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome and needs something light and easy to use. She says it's the best vacuum cleaner she has ever bought.

My daughter gave me a cordless Dyson, it’s a refurbished one that had a special offer on at the time. Have to say I love it, really easy to use.

Any recommendations?

I had a Dyson which had to go back several times - I gave up on it in the end.

I then got a GTech which was on offer. Very very difficult to remove bits and to insert battery unit. In the end the lady who helps me with the housework broke the battery unit's fixture and I had to tape it on! It has worked fine like that for many months but has now given up the ghost - I do not feel I can send it back as it has been broken.

So, I need:
- rechargeable
- cordless
- easy to change tools/pipes

I do not want to spend a lot - housework is not something I am devoted to and it will not get a lot of use!

Thanks folks.
