Hoovers, best, worst & how often do you replace?

[Offredismysister]

Following on from a thread about sofas.
How often do you replace your hoover?
What would you recommend.
I’ve had a Sebo X4 for around 8 years & am thinking of replacing it. I did buy a Gtech to use upstairs when I had a bad shoulder as the Sebo is very heavy. But it was rubbish. I had to charge it twice to do the whole house.

I like a corded Hoover with a bag, so am thinking of another Sebo. They do a lovely pastel pink one.

@Offredismysister my Grandma had a cloth bodied vacuum too. It was the noisiest thing in the world!

My student house had a cloth bodied hoover. Definitely noisy! (and crap. I ended up with an old Electrolux one from my parents)
