Cordless vacuums-which one?

Posting here as Chat has not given me any recommendations.

I need a cordless vacuum that is no more than £150. No pets, long hair, carpet and some hard surfaces. Town house so two flights of stairs.

Please can you recommend me one within my price range?

I have the Dyson v10 which I like- it's light to hold and good suction but definitely the battery will need to be replaced after a few years. I know cordless vacuums are generally more expensive then corded.

Thank you but my budget is £150.

Reconditioned dyson is my advice

G Tech - never knew about them until recently. They’re amazing!!! £149 Black Friday deal.

Gtech have an offer now, £150 for the Gtech Air Ram K9. We all have one in my family and customer support are brilliant if you need replacement parts etc.

My advice is not to… ! I’ve had a Dyson and a Shark and started happy with them both but the battery starts to go after a while and they just need changing the filters and whatnot EVERY time you use them after a while.
I changed to a Henry (£150 ish I think) and vacuuming is suddenly way less of a deal.
I remember why I wanted cordless, to go between rooms and in areas I don’t have a plug socket but actually it’s fine, just much better to have a vacuum that works every time.

I’ve got my first Sharke, I was so disappointed. It needs so much maintenance and now it’s not working again. Much as I dream of a cord free my old Henry did actually work.

I have a reconditioned hoover I got from here www.directvacuums.co.uk/refurbished-vacuums-by-brand.html

But I'd get a Henry corded one. £100 on Argos just now.

LineDryingBore · 19/11/2022 15:54

I have this one: www.argos.co.uk/product/9205899?clickPR=plp:1:7

I feel you'd be better off putting the money into a good corded vacuum. For €150 any cordless you buy will not have great suction or battery life- fine if it's just as a run around but not great if it is to be the main or only vacuum in the house. So many people I know have had great 'bargains' only to find it was money down the drain soon after.

AutisticLegoLover · 19/11/2022 22:37

I feel like I could do with both a corded and cordless but I'd prefer a cordless. I'm tempted to get a hoover one because it has on board tools. Vax ones I've had have a tendency to weld the brush bar stuck due to hair getting wrapped up. They are a pain to take apart and get the hair out too. I've just sent a vax back to Amazon because it was switching itself on.

I had a vax cordless and after a couple of months it was rubbish. Friend bought a shark today in curries in Black Friday offers but it's a bit over £150.. photo of it attached

Cordless vacuums-which one?
healthadvice123 · 20/11/2022 01:29

I have the pet vax as that was in offer , think I paid £159
We do have a dog though bit its just the one attachment that makes it a pet
Its good though , we have 3 bed house downstairs all hard floor , stairs upstairs carpet and it picks up well and one charge I can do the whole house
The only thing is i have long hair and does wrap around brush but doesn't stop it and ai just pull: cut hair out every couple weeks , easy to empty too and not too heavy

Gtech are great but you need the separate hand held for tools (or at least that was the case when I purchased). I also have this Shark sharkclean.co.uk/product/shark-lightweight-2-in-1-cordless-vacuum-wv361uk-zidWV361UK and think it's pretty good. For me I'm more likely to throw the much lighter cordless vacuum around more often than the heavier corded vacuum so the battery charge time and capacity is less of an issue.
