Best cordless/handheld vacuum

Hi guys

Just wondering what your experiences of cordless/handheld vacuums as I'm getting tired of dragging out the normal vacuum every 10 mins!

Please don't say the Duson as it's way out if budget. Tia.

Sorry, I have the dyson and it's amazing. The one without the long pole is about £100 cheaper though.

Should have proof read first!

Thanks - cries if no one else can come up with an alternative.

Bumping because I'm interested too.

Vax gator, I bought mine off Amazon for £35. The battery lasts a long time, it is not as bulky as a Dyson and is reasonably priced. I use mine to pick up crumbs on kitchen floor and mess created by our guinea pigs (they kept indoors).

Co can highly recommend it.

Gtech Air Ram Not like I've tried it just wanted to give an alternative.

Sorry, but I do love my Dyson, it was worth saving up for 4 months Grin

www.johnlewis.com/aeg-ag5012uk-ultrapower-vacuum-cleaner-blue/p231903599 I have this and I love it. Has real oomph, easy to clean/empty and lasts for ages.

I second the Vax Gator - bought it a few weeks ago from Amazon, £29. It's brilliant; good suction and battery life, it's small, light and easy to empty (only downside is the dog's terrified of it!)

RachelHRD · 07/06/2014 19:13

I've just ordered this as its powerful, compact and has good reviews. You also get an extra 7.35% cash back via Topcashback.

Will let you know how it performs!

Oooh, I am interested too.
I have a mobility prob which leaves me tired and I find vacuuming heavy and tiring.

I DREAM of a handheld wand/stick thingy, esp for stairs and coving.

I too am on a very tight budget and the Dyson seems mega £££ and also a battery life of something crazy like 15mins?
I currently have a (3rd hand!) Dyson and it is superheavy.

ImogenQuy · 07/06/2014 21:39

I third Vax Gator. We have two, one upstairs and one down.

chocomochi · 07/06/2014 22:07

Oooh, like the look of the Black and Decker. Will need to compare it to the Vax Gator as am liking the price of that more!

I love my Dyson too Blush.

I waited and saved, and it has been worth it. Long pole and all.

Justgotosleepnow · 07/06/2014 22:16

We have a Hoover Jovis (orangey red one) wet and dry. It's really powerful & fantastic! Got it with nectar points. Highly recommend it.

tshirtsuntan · 08/06/2014 22:16

Another vote for vax gator, half price from sainsburys, about 17 quid and bloody marvellous!

icanmakeyouicecream · 12/06/2014 13:28

Vax one - it's brilliant

InsertUsernameHere · 12/06/2014 20:04

I bought a dirt devil (corded) it was dreadful and I took it back. It was painfully noisy and overheated before I done about 4 stairs.

RachelHRD · 12/06/2014 21:35

Well the Black & Decker is performing well so far. Neat, compact and very powerful and easy to clean out. Sits neatly on its charger on the workshop and I did stairs, car and a few bits surround the then before it needed charging again.

Impressed so far!

LilacBreastedRoller · 14/06/2014 20:39

I also have the Black and Decker one and am very pleased with it.

EmperorTomatoKetchup · 15/06/2014 15:50

We've got this Black and Decker one www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Decker-DV7210N-Cyclonic-Dustbuster/dp/B004RCNRXE

The nozzle is great for nooks and crannies, I don't know how I lived without it! Well actually I do, we lived in even more squalor than we do now..
