I have this Shark. I have had Dysons and Gtech in the past but much prefer the Shark.

Thank you. It looks very similar.

Corded shark. I must admit it’s a bit heavy to manoeuvre, but the suction is absolutely 2nd to none.

Another vote for a corded Shark

Shark every time for me. Not cheap but well worth money and so much better than Dyson

I’ve got a lightweight, cordless Shark and prefer it to the Dysons I’ve had in the past.

harrysgran Sun 19-Nov-23 15:27:18

Gtech cordless everytime

Georgesgran Sun 19-Nov-23 15:26:52

GTech upstairs
Shark downstairs.

Works for me.

I have a Sebo upstairs and a Panasonic downstairs. Both are great.

Bought a cordless for under £50 in B&M because it is very, very light. I've a dog. No complaints. I live by a beach, it picks up sand, dog hair and whatever toy the dog has destroyed. I did stay in a holiday let that had a Miele, was very impressed but I'd rather have a weekend away.

Gtech every time! Cordless, lightweight and their customer service is the best I've ever encountered

I would second that!

Brilliant customer service. Dealing with real people and no phone queueing When I needed a replacement for a faulty part they were very apologetic that I couldn't get it next day because they were stock taking... It came 2 days later.

I know people who swear by their Sharks, too.

I have a lightweight Miele. Excellent.

Siope Sun 19-Nov-23 14:25:32

I have a Shark. I love it. So light compared to a Dyson, and I like the detachable function for doing stairs, furniture etc. It doesn’t switch automatically from hard floors to carpets, but it’s a simple single button push to do so. Easy to empty, but there is a roller/brush that occasionally needs cleaning. I wouldn’t say it was cheap, but I think it was good value for money.

Hi all and thank you in advance.

I am looking for an upright vacuum cleaner. Not silly prices. I always have Dysons. But looking for other recommendations too please. I have a mixture of carpeted and hard floors.
