I have a GTech cordless bagged and it works well for me - laminate flooring in the kitchen, hardwood elsewhere, carpet upstairs, rugs, etc - all good. Very lightweight. It was about £190 I think.

For last Xmas, my kids bought the GTech for more. Two vaccums in the package. Both cordless - An upright and a hand held one.
They are abolutely brilliant. Do everything I have been searching for in vaccuum cleaners for donkey years. Very light weight, but excellent, strong suckage. Easy to empty - no bags, quick and easy to charge.
The hand held one is wonderful, do stairs, do the car, etc.
Would thoroughly recommend

Shark.
They are hugely effective and very lightweight.

We bought a dyson which goes from carpet to hard floor with ease. It’s much lighter than our previous cleaner.

"Henry" is too heavy for me now. Can anyone recommend a lightweight vacuum please? Only have carpets in bedrooms but normally vacuum the hardwood flooring which is everywhere else. Don't want to spend more than £200 ideally or am I being unrealistic?
