We got our cheapy vacuum cleaner from DH's aunt when we moved into our new flat. I has lasted an amazing 15 years, although it was not overworked as I am not a überhausfrau.

The choice of vacuums is a bit overwhelming, we have hardwood floors, no carpets. Any recommendations?

<hopes that Miele will send a free dishwasher for all the free advertising... oh, don't Miele do Nespresso machines?>

We all talk to him like he is a real little person hmm

Another vote for a Henry here.

Although we got a Hetty <pink version> as it was cheaper.

But it is fab smile

Just noticed that this thread is linked to the Miele website. Thought I should mention that I did indeed buy a Miele and it is fab.

I have all hardwood floors, with some quite large gaps between the parquet pieces (parquet is 80 years old). I LOVE my Dyson All Floors - it has sucked up all the crap that wasn't shifting with my old Miele.
