Recommend a good robust vacuum cleaner please!

[BadTasteFlump]

My Hoover Aquavac has finally died on me. It was one of those enormous canister ones, very heavy and a bit cumbersome to move around, but it worked really well. I've intermittently tried the smaller more modern cylinder ones and relegated the Hoover to the garage, but have always ended up getting it out again as the smaller ones don't seem to have much 'go' in them and seem to break really quickly. But now it's really gone .

So could anyone recommend a cylinder (bagless) or canister cleaner which isn't horribly expensive and works really well? Thank you!

sebo is a v good brand, i've had several of their hoovers, they are industrial strength!

I love my VAX.
Miele are meant to be brilliant.
I'll never have another Dyson though - utter rubbish!!!

i got a 1600w one from tesco last week for £38, i think it's easier to just buy yearly now!

I have a Morphy Richards Ultralight 1600 upright , bagless one for over 8 years now. I have the one for 'pet hair' but my brother has the ordinary one which is the same except its 1500 instead of 1600 IYSWIM. I love it and have never had any problems with mine. Would highly recommend it and it does get used a lot. The attachments,nozzles etc are easy to use also. I think ARGOS sell these hoovers as well as any other major electrical distributors.
