I need a hoover (not a hoover one!)
I have loads of animals, carpets and polished wood floors. Also have lots of spiders so need to be able to use a wand to de-cobweb as I go (so not the Dyson where you need to pull the thing out and put it back in upside down and repeat - too much faff).
Have loads of football boots - seem the get clumps of mud everyone 
The carpets are very light (yep I know was not a bright move) so hoover needs to get very close to the skirting boards to prevent grey lines around the outside of rooms.
I currently have a Miele and a Dyson, both old and various bits not working. I really cannot decide what to replace with...
