Best hoover you've ever owned?

[hopetowonder]

Argh, this is my 2nd shark in 18 months! Absolutely rubbish. A breathless, weak individual with no suction power After 5 mins use

I hate them. Please would you tell me the best hoover you've ever bought?

@WeAllHaveWings wow really? It's mad, I've had Dysons, Hoovers, all sorts and this one is by far the best one I've used! We clean the filters regularly which I find a pretty straight forward job to do in all honesty. I'm astounded by how much dirt it pulls up and I use it pretty much daily.

Henry is the best

My shark is good too great suction but needs filters cleaning every 2 weeks or it starts to be crap. I have the cordless stick style. It's great to hoover round kitchen and dining every day. Doesn't get all the cat hair though so use Henry once a month in those rooms too.

My Miele is great, but just bought a Dyson Animal cordless which has been a game changer ... so simple to use.

I love my Shark but it is a corded one and not an anti-hair wrap one which I have been told makes a difference. Many of the shark issues are the cordless ones more often than not.

My absolute fave is the Dyson animal ball though. It must be well over a decade old now. We bought it when they first came out and other than it snapping a piece of plastic off that helps stand it up (just replaced with a screw!) it's brilliant. Amazing suction. It is heavy though.

All sharks I've had have been corddd corded 😞

Never got a cordless as I've always heard they're rubbish

@FiveShelties

Sebo excellent machine just does what it should do,

I also have had a Miele & Henry. Nothing touches the sebo.

Miele Cat & Dog - beats anything hands down

Henry is ok for the price point but nothing has the suction and cleaning power of the above.

Dyson = dust cloud creating, plastic rubbish

Bastarding shark. A newborn baby is less delicate!

I've had a dyson, two Miele and a shark. Now sticking with Henry!!

Only had him a week, but Henry is a million times easier and more suction than any number of expensive Dysons we previously had.

Shark hater here too. Have the cordless one, it's forever overheating. Sometimes after just 10 minutes.

Also have the Shark steam mop (why don't I ever learn?). Nightmare to manoeuvre, puts my black out every time.

Recently got a kitten, so interested to see what other pet owners recommend. I'd happily have a corded model, but would prefer bagless.

I love my cordless Shark! Going strong for years, and perfect for quickly running round. We have two sheddy, indoor cats and it picks up fur brilliantly.

I have a corded lift away too, but it rarely leaves the cupboard.

Henry attacks my shins all the time, but was quite useful when a new carpet was shedding.

The rest of the time, I’m fond of my Beko cordless.

Shark either has significant problems with its quality control or should be renamed the marmite of vacuuming!

Iroomba 521. Bought it 9 years ago and it still cleans better than my dyson animal ever did. Love that it does all the work while I'm out too!

My Nana’s ‘hoover’ from the 1980’s.

Inherited it when we moved in together and barely had a pot to piss in. It was just meant to be a stop gap for a few months but we had it for ten years. It weighed a tonne and rumbled like a rabid but I hauled that fucker out monthly for a deep hoover.

The carpets were like brand new and always had a very sweet smell. I cried when she eventually died. I’ve found nothing that will ever compare.

Was it a Kirby by any chance?

I have a Shark Lift Away and it's amazzzzzing!! I used it earlier and the suction is so powerful that I can barely push it across my (not very high pile) carpet! It's fantastic! As long as you empty it regularly & wash the filter. A filter wash ALWAYS brings the suction back if it's ever faded a bit

Mine is the same just not True Pet. Bloody love it!

Miele cat and dog or cordless shark.

Best : Sebo
Worst : Shark . Dead on arrival . Poor customer service to return.

Miele cylinder

Henry! Vax blade is the worst, i have more suction sucking on a lolly, and dont get me started on my cordless dyson.. ridiculously overpriced

Miele Cat & Dog, ten years and still going strong!

Miele

Had a Dyson for years which I hated, followed by a Vax which was even worse. Now have a Miele C3 Cat and Dog which has brilliant suction.

One I have now it’s by Bush.
Old fashioned upright hoover it is noisy though. My carpets look new picks up all the hair (nothing else has)
Cost £50 from Argos
Wouldn’t waste money on an expensive hoover again
