Cordless vacuum wanted but which one?

I have a hand-held G.Tech for doing the stairs and any other small bits of cleaning such as the floor in my sewing room and lots of cat hairs. (I must have been mad to have a long-haired cat!) Part of it broke but they replaced the broken part with no quibble, so I would rate cus their customer service as excellent, as is the machine.

I have two Miele cylinder cleaners, one for upstairs and one for down simply because they are now too heavy for me to carry upstairs and I really believe they are the best cleaner. J bought a Bosch upright cordless for a quick clean but it is the worst cleaner I have had, although it was more expensive than a Miele. I have gone back to using my old Ewbank carpet sweeper which is much more efficient.

I got £50 off of the Dyson stick cordless using a discount code from Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert site!

I did the same!

G Tec has weight at the bottom so is easier on your arm. Ones with the motor and weight at the top for me really would hurt my arm and back and possibly for you.

I’ve got a Shark cordless, which I love -but! My mum, who’s 90 can’t use it, because the motor is at the top, which makes it much heavier than you would think, it makes your arm ache. She has now got a G-tech, which is a bit less powerful, but the motor is at floor level, so it’s much lighter to push. I’d advise you to try them out before you commit if you can.

What's best on hard floor?

I’ve got a Gtech cordless. It’s smashing’. And lightweight . Highly recommend

I love my Shark. It is light and folds in half for storage. Flexible and the suction unit comes off to shorten for the stairs. No flexes to contend with but needs emptied after every use and I have to remember to plug it in to recharge. It’s strong and light. Can’t ask for more.

Mine is actually a Hoover cordless and I couldn't be more pleased with it. I bought it to use while my Shark went away to be exchanged for a new one, but I'm not sure if I care whether or not I get the other one now.

Gtech Ram,
It’s lightweight enough to carry upstairs with one hand.

Works well on carpets and hard floors too.

GTech -got both floor and handheld for my elderly mother to replace the earlier GTech ram which stopped working. When I told the customer service team about this as I was buy the new cleaners, they offered to send new parts to fix the old one so we wouldn’t have to buy new. So I bought the new ones anyway and repaired the old one for upstairs. Excellent customer service I bought another set for myself and am very happy with GTech.

I have an amazing Miele old vacuum. Shifts dirt and hair brilliantly. Far better than the previous Dyson. That was useless and heavy. But really fancy one of those light cordless machines. Miele is still going strong, though. Will probably outlive me. ?

I have a Gtech and a Vax. I prefer the Gtech for carpets as it brings the pile up. The Vax I use for stairs and hard to reach areas. We also have a robot thingy gifted to us. We don't use it much as I spend ages moving things to clear its path, but it is good for round the skirting board with it's little brushes. 3 vacuumes ridiculous! how did we manage with just a Eubank....

I’ve got the Gtech Air Ram Mk 2 on the way! Hope I’ve done the right thing, anyway it can always go back, right?
