Vacuum cleaners

I will forgive you

I don't always read every post either

I have the Dyson rechargable and love it.
However AnnieBach if you have little grip I'd suggest that you try one out first. Go to a store and have them assemble it so you can have a go and moving it around. Also taking the various tubes apart can need quite a bit of effort.

I honestly think it might be a bit much.

I think coolgran missed it too???

Vax do several lightweight rechargeable cleaners and on Amazon they get 4 out of 5 stars.

This was Which Best Buy in 2015.
They came up when I googled ""vacuum cleaners for arthritis sufferers""

I have a Dyson cordless and I'm on crutches or just one when vacuuming. It's very light and the trigger is very trigger happy I have trouble with it going off at random. I barely touch it and it's off. As others have said you can disconnect the tube and recharge it anywhere. My docking station is attached to the side of a cupboard in my Conservatory.

I have a Bosch rechargeable Athlet. It is cordless and lightweight. Picks up dirt well and could be used with one hand. It is a “stick” vacuum cleaner. It plugs in and just sits on the floor to recharge.

Have a look at the ones sold by Lakeland, they do one with a button that does not need holding down and the attachments are much easier to attach than the dyson. It also gas a charging stand so is free standing next to a socket. I am sorry I cannot remember the make as I recently bought a dyson and gave my old one away - but I know it cost less than £100. Might not be as powerful as the dyson but still acceptable cleaning.

A reprieve , younger granddaughter face timed, she is driving down on Sunday to help me with the vacuuming and getting the recycling out. Works for us both, I have help and she has a boost in funds ?. Can take bit more time choosing a vacuum cleaner. Thank you all for your advice, I do value it x

I have what they call a stick cleaner made by VonHaus its really good on wood floors and tiled floors so easy to use does need emptying after each use but that is easy had it from Amazon £30 mark I think you said you have mostly wood floors .i find any vacum cleaner hard work on the back but this little gem is fab !!

I have a G tech Airam. I order it with a spare rechargeable battery and 2 extra filters so that when I wash the pair I can put the clean ones in immediately and do not have to wait for them to dry and when the battery needs recharging I just swap them. the battery can be recharged at any plug anywhere..

My cordless Dyson has packed up. It just won't re-charge. The most annoying thing about it was that emptying the dust container was difficult as my hands have lost power over the last few years. I need to find a cordless replacement that won't require an iron grip.
