I need a new vacuum cleaner. Recommend me one?

[ApolloandDaphne]

I currently have a Dyson one which is too heavy and is now not working properly. I have a fairly big 4 bedroom house and a Labrador so I need something robust but easy to use. I am thinking of going back to a cylinder. What do you have and would you recommend it? Thanks.

Whether it's pet hair, muddy footprints or the endless toast crumbs, the right vacuum can make everyday cleaning that bit easier. Our guide to the best vacuum cleaners is up to date with tried and tested options, from cordless Dysons to trusty Henrys, all tested in real homes. We hope it's helpful!

I've managed to fix the problem with the Dyson so won't be needing a new vacuum cleaner just yet.

I've just sold my Hoover as I hardly ever used it... well it was just collecting dust

Henry, I know they can be a bit cumbersome to carry upstairs, but for the price they are far away the best.

Not Bosch cordless. Have to pick hair and fluff out of the brush every time I use it and it only lasts 15 minutes on high power.

We have a cordless one but it is no good for the whole house.

I am looking at the AEG bagless animal cylinder. It is lightweight and seems to do a good job.
