Any Hoover recommendations please?

[mckenzie]

Must be upright and capable of cleaning carpet and amtico.
I'm happy to pay top dollar for a good quality machine it It comes highly recommended.
Many thanks in advance

Sebo X4! Hands down the best upright you can get. It's bagged, but the bags are huge and last for months at a time. Very solid and reliable too. I've seen Sebo's last well over 20 years.

I've got a Sebo too, it's brilliant, far better than my previous Dyson - it's this one (though I purchased from John Lewis):

Sebo, time and time again, DM has one on recommendation from one of DS2's friends, its amazing, when our Dyson packs in its a Sebo we're having!

Thanks very much buys. By coincidence I have a Sebo Felix but it's packed up.
DH can't fix it and it's out of warranty.
Maybe I'll just get the same again.

Ha! Came on here to say Sebo, but you've all beaten me to it!

I have a Sebo Felix too and last time it needed fixing I took it to Sebo themselves as I don't live far but a few weeks later I was in an independent hardware shop which sells vacuum supplies and they said they will look at vacuums for free and only charge for parts whereas at Sebo I paid approx £35 for them to look at it and then paid for repair, so if you have a hardware shop nearby they may be worth a try!

Also while I was at Sebo HQ I met the main boss who started the company and he was lovely and chatted away to the kids so that also makes me recommend Sebo vacuums to everyone. They are always very customer friendly.

I love my Sebo which replaced a Dyson. Sebo wins hands down.

Another Sebo owner - delighted with it!

Thanks so much everybody for posting.

We have a lovely lady who comes in to clean for us once a week and she was so upset when I said DH couldn't fix the Sebo, she came round today and took it away and has just called to say her friend has fixed it
Apparently it is by far the best Hoover she has on any job she does.
What a star huh?

Yup. Another vote for the Sebo here. I have a big hairy dog and a cat and it's more than a match for them. I bought the pet version because it has an odour filter and it really works. Our old one smelled of wet dog every time I used it

Just the thread I was looking for. Dh has Amazon prime but must wait too he's home to order, aargh!
