Can someone please just tell me what vacuum to get?

[TulipsInBloom1]

Three flights of stairs, two cats, two kids, one Henry. Id be happy to keep the Henry for the main living area but I need something lightweight and cordless for the stairs. That can handle cat hair.

Help!

Could you keep another Henry upstairs and buy a handheld for the stairs?

I’ve had exactly this crisis today. DH chose a handheld cordless hoover as it had good reviews and was £100 less than a dyson. I’ll report back later.

I’ve got a Miele c3 which is much lighter than Henry. I did my back in with Henry.
I’m a bit in love with my new hoover.

Watching as my Hetty is bloody cumbersome on stairs.

shark lift away corded - better than anything I have ever owned. Also such a long flex I can do the whole house without unplugging.

Dyson overpriced, Hetty not powerful enough and also keeps falling over, Vax blew up - Shark, amazing.

Shark lift away gets my vote too

Don't get an upright Sebo as it's heavy to carry up stairs.

Bosch Athlet pet version. Absolutely brilliant.

Shark Lift away corded. Best vac I've ever owned. Miles better than a Dyson.

I have a robovac thing and a Dyson handheld. The robovac does the ground floor daily and I do the stairs daily with the Dyson. I also let the Robovac loose in rooms as and when necessary, while I use the Dyson to dust, get rid of cobwebs and into tricky nooks & crannies. The range of fixtures on the Dyson is good - a long proboscis thing gets in the gaps of radiators, another little brush ended thing for curtains, lampshades etc etc etc. They are expensive though.

My mums shark is fantastic

Shark. It shits all over a dyson (I've had both!)

I agree about robot vac - I have a Roomba which does whole of ground floor daily, briliant.

I love my shark lift away. Definitely one of my better buys.

Miele is great. Don't get a Dyson. Overpriced and not very good.
(... and, James Dyson is an avid Brexit supporter)

We’ve got a Vax Blade cordless, which is great. Has loads of attachments, for stairs etc.

Roomba does the main house
Sebo does a deep clean
))))))) dyson ((((((((

Another shark 🦈 lift away fan here.

So....firstly I can report that you need to charge my new Hoover for 24 hours before use. sigh

Miele cat and dog is excellent. Easy and effective.

Sorry not cordless though.

Ive been today and tried a Shark and a Dyson both cordless. Dyson £100 more, but double the time useage.

I think im swaying towards a Dyson Animal.

Shark liftaway.

Another vote for shark liftaway from me

I'm waiting for Black Friday hoping to pick up a Shark liftaway
