So I have just unwrapped my sale purchase ( £100 off from JL) and am hoping that by keeping a lightweight Dyson "Hoover" upstairs I will be able to deal with the odd (?) upstairs incident with the paper shredder, crumbs, fluff etc etc which I tend to ignore until the cleaner comes every fortnight.
OK so clearly a slattern by nature, but honestly carting the Miehle hoover up and down the stairs just exhausts me on its own.
Has anybody got encouraging remarks to reassure me that this was not a vain attempt to keep the Broon family out of the mire?

After being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, oh went out and bought the cordless dyson . I would recommend it to anyone with limited use in their hands and joints..Love mine and use it daily now

I am very fond of my cordless Dyson, but wish it lasted longer on one charge and a metre to show how close the battery is to expiry would be a help. It infuriates me when it gives up in mid-sweep. If I was choosing a vacuum now, having tried my sister's Gtech, I would be inclined to consider that.

I've just done that google thing and read numerous reviews. I've ordered an expensive Dyson cordless because it came out best in the majority of reviews. I've been hesitating about the cost but had a word with myself when I realised my current Dyson is over 15 years old. As I often have three dogs and always two, my house is very busy with family/toddlers etc I've decided to push the boat out. My existing Dyson will be donated to my 21 year old grandson so I don't feel quite such an extravagant gran.
