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!

Thanks Reaa!

Going against everything here- we bought the Dyson v10 last wknd and it has transformed my life. So powerful and light. Whole house done on one charge! Also have a Miele bagless but this is as powerful and far easier to manoeuvre.

Love our Miele for deep clean hoovering.

Also got the Dyson cordless to do quick jobs but the brush gets clogged instantly with hair strands and fibres. We don't even own dogs. Wont be re-buying.

I'm convinced, I'm going to buy a shark. One cat, one dog, three kids two story house, what model would posters recommend?

Onynx I agree! I have a very fluffy golden retriever and the dyson V10 animal is a godsend, never clogs either

Yes ours is the shark duo. X2 batteries.
It is lightweight & folds down in half so stores easy.
Fantastic vacuum

So has someone at Shark spotted this thread and told everyone in the office to get an MN account and say how boss the Shark is?

VisitorsEntrance - I was thinking the same thing but can't be bothered to advance search the posters!

I bought a Hetty because of the overwhelming number of recommendations on MN - I hate the grinning little fucker and am sure it will be the death of me on the stairs one day.

@VisitorsEntrance I definitely don't work for shark  purchased with my very own money
And I hate hoovering! But yeah it's easy to use, better than the dyson I had, cleans well and seems well made

Can someone with a shark tell me how easy it is to remove hair from the roller? I have very long hair and the rollers quickly get clogged.

Both DD and I have lots of long hair. I have never yet had to clean the roller on my Shark. I would have had to take the scissors to my Miele by now. I think the little brushes on the shark roller are good at picking up the hair and disposing of it.

I like my gtech for a quick whizz round- like a carpet sweeper so you don't need strong wrists to manoeuvre it around.

Shark roller is easily cleaned. The bottom plate unclips with 3 of those plastic screw things you can open with a turn of screwdriver.

GTech is very light and easy to use - love mine.

Just don't get the Vax blade, it's shite.

Love my Shark

Shark liftaway.

Does indeed shit all over Dyson. Shits on it and calls it names.

Shark Liftaway best ever - A hoover with headlights what is there not to like

Shark FINALLY do a cordless duo clean LIFTAWAY!

I have had mine just over a week and it is fabulous!!!!!I
(Bought direct from Shark website but went through Topcashback. Got extra 10% discount plus cashback with free next day delivery.)

We got Shark corded liftaway from AO for £189 and it’s so much better than our old Dyson. Easy to do the stairs and the light on the front is surprisingly handy. My sister has the Duo Clean and loves it.

I’ve just got the gtech, they had a deal on so got the upright and a hand held relatively cheaply. Love both of them compared to our dysons that have never lasted a long time
