A good vacuum cleaner

[bevelino]

Please could someone recommend a really good vacuum cleaner for hard floors and carpet. I have had 3 Dysons in the past and they all lose suction after a while. It doesn’t matter if it is upright or cylinder. Thanks

I'd recommend a miele, I've the cat and dog one with the turbo brush, they last forever. In fact my DH is vacuuming away while I'm mumsnetting .
I've had an expensive dyson and a sebo, neither were as good.

Miele cat & dog here too!

After trawling threads on here, we got this one a few weeks ago www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06Y2GCSCC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?psc=1&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8

OP, it is hands down one of the best things to ever happen in my entire life

slumps off to be a loser

Like Tea, and seriously pissed off with my Dyson Animal cordless, I recently bought a Shark after reading recommendations here.

It's incredible.

It is so enthusiastic to de-filth my carpets, it races off dragging me behind it.

It has HEADLIGHTS. Headlights, I tell thee!!!

I have never been a more committed hooverer. And I'm usually an absolute slattern housework-wise.

@MercianQueen I also wasn't used to being dragged and was swiftly carried towards my bookcase, hoovering up the fairy lights that hung around it I've also hoovered up socks from the clothes horse.

The headlights, I'm telling ya, the stuff of dreams. The easily removable hand-held nozzle? Oh my.

After years of Dyson loyalty we got a Shark Liftaway earlier this year and I love it!!

Which is the one mercian and tea are raving about

I honestly hoover for fun since getting it.....

My Shark Liftaway has probably saved me an hour each week compared to the Dyson it replaced. One run over rather than the repeated pushing the Dyson needed. Love it.

Miele.
I have a Dyson currently and would never buy one again, the suction is not good.

My carpet is actually a different colour...
I'd post pictures if it wasn't for the abject shame...

I hoovered under my bed today just because I can You lift the ‘guts’ but off and the headlights let you see the several years worth of dustbunnies

Not cordless and anything with a bag is miles better than a bagless imo because the cyclone thingy stops working properly after it collects a surprisingly small amount of dust and the rest gets blown into the expensive filter. My big Karcher is great.

Shark liftaway here too, absolutely brilliant

Thank you everyone for your recommendations. Which model of the Shark has headlamps as it sounds fabulous?

I have a shark, bought from Costco and it's brilliant..... not that I use it much... it's so good DH is quite happy to do all the vacuuming. Mine has head lights and it's one of the liftaway models. Half the price of a Dyson too x

It's the corded Liftaway. It turns domestic drudgery into Mad Max (disclaimer: Mel Gibson is still a prick)

Miele cat and dog. Brilliant.

Shark liftaway is amazing

I have a Dyson Cordless - hopless three hours charge and about 10 minutes running time - difficult to empty and gets blocked easily. I have a SHARK LIFT AWAY. Marvellous, reasonable price, tackles pet hair easily and a lot less expensive than Dyson

I bought a Shark vacuum last week and love it. It's the Flexology one from Argos. This morning I cleaned right under the bunk beds without having to move any furniture!

I just got a shark duo clean after a frankly rubbish Bosch experience.... it is amazing!

I just hope it lasts. But it does have a 5 year warranty.

Duo Clean has liftaway and headlamps. I'd definitely recommend it.

I love this thread!! Has anyone tried the shark cordless? Our Bosch cordless is starting to be a total waste of time but I love not having to plug it in/unplug it and I’m tempted by the shark.... any advice?

I was disillusioned with Dyson and several friends recommended the Gtech Air Ram, so I bought one and it's fabulous, and it's got headlights
