To buy a stick vacuum?

[DizzyPhillips]

New hoover time. Are they actually any good?!

Not as a main hoover ime unless you have a very small area to hoover.(my experience is a Dyson )

Oh that’s disappointing

I had a Dyson V6 and it was crap but the V10 is as good as an upright imo

Totally agree with pp. I have a bad back so they're perfect for me to go over the floors in between my husband using the main hoover, certainly wouldn't have one as the only hoover

I've had a cordless Dyson v10 absolute, Henry and Miele classic cylinder . The Miele is my favourite.

Shark cordless is fantastic. I had an ordinary corded Miele before and the shark out performs it by a mile

My main hoover is a meile cylinder and is fantastic.

My main hoover is a cordless Dyson, love it.

No idea what to go for then. Loved Vax and they were dead cheap but false economy coz lasted five mins

My dyson v8 is amazing

We have a V10 and it’s perfect for us (no kids but pets; combination of carpets and Amtico). Definitely as good as our old upright Dyson but obviously more portable. My only fail is I forget to charge it! It does the whole house on one charge if I remember...

My Shark Cordless stick hoover is wonderful.

I've got a cordless vax and tbh i wouldn't recommend that brand.It picks stuff up but it hasn't got strong suction.

I had a Dyson stick and HATED it. It broke about a week after its warranty expired. We have a GTech now and it’s fantastic. I’m constantly amazed at how much dust and hair it collects. It’s so easy to Hoover every day and 2-3 times daily if the kids and dogs are around (I’m talking 5 min dog hair/toast crumbs whizz around not full house hoover!). Because it’s so light and easy to manage I also give it to the kids to hoover.

The new Dyson ones (V10) are brilliant. We use that plus a robot vacuum.

You could buy on QVC - they have a 30 day returns policy even if you’ve used them. They sell Shark. GTech and Dyson.

I wanted a cordless Dyson for ages.
I bought one and gave the old one to my friend.
I keep borrowing it back. I spend more time cleaning the Dyson than cleaning with the Dyson. I have to empty it every single time. And it is awkward. The filter falls out so it is gaffer taped in.
If it sucks up anything larger than a speck of dust it loses power.
I need 2 different coins to open the brush bit and clean it.
Honestly Terribly designed.
So disappointed.
The only reason I keep it is that it cost such a lot of money I'm embarrassed

My gran has a Gtech and MIL has a shark, I'm incredibly envious of both, especially when I've just lugged my faithful, reliable but heavy Henry up the stairs.

I love my gtech

Don't get the Asda,s own version it was crap and bits kept breaking off

And another thing. When you empty the Dyson you get showered with blowback from the dust. I have to empty it outside every day because otherwise I'd have to start all over again
Getting annoyed just thinking about it

My next vacuum will be a Shark or GTech.

I have a V6 and it’s a pile of shite. Doesn’t pick up anything beyond tiny crumbs and even then I have to go over it. I would never use it as a normal hoover and I don’t understand how anyone can. Also the dust clouds from emptying it are a pain. Loses power and cuts out constantly.

My Miele vacuum is great.

Obvious question maybe but do you regularly wash the filter?

I was going to buy a Dyson V6. So glad you started this thread OP.
