This year, Mumsnet Reviews want to find the best vacuum cleaners on the market, and we need your help to decide which ones to put to the test.

If you've bought and loved a vacuum cleaner in the last two years, we want to hear about it! Tell us which one you loved and why you loved it. Your comments will help us to establish which vacuums to test to find the ultimate vacuum cleaner.

Sebo Felix. Effective and good customer service. And solidly built

Sebo X4 Pet. We don't have pets but the boost function is very useful. Best vacuum cleaner I've ever owned. Copies with all floor types brilliantly.

Shark ultralift

mommybear1 · 21/05/2018 16:38

Bosch Athlete cordless

Shark duo - I don't even bother to charge my stain since I got the shark, it's unbelievable!

Shark lift-away

redshoeblueshoe · 21/05/2018 18:48

So you don't want to hear about my bastard Dyson then ?

Pradaqueen · 21/05/2018 23:16

Another vote for Shark lift away here too. I can’t see me ever going back to a Dyson.

Fflamingo · 21/05/2018 23:37

I have a Seno felix and find it unwieldy and heavy and regret buying it. Prior to that I had a little LG which I had to replace once I could no longer get spare LG bands for, I could manhandle it up 3 flights of stairs easily. The Sebo probably is more powerful but the motor is high, not on the floor part of the hoover, so is top heavy making it harder work to use imv.

Dyson v6 cordless. Absolutely essential for a 3-floor townhouse. So lightweight.

hoochymama1 · 23/05/2018 06:22

Shark lift away.

Our Miele cat and dog has been brilliant.

Geneticsbunny · 23/05/2018 16:17

Sebo 4x are amazing

LeeLooDallasMultiPass · 23/05/2018 17:20

Miele C3 Cat and Dog, now I may not have pets but I have long hair and it is fab for getting human hair off the carpet.

I love the variable suction choices, and that I can use my foot to choose them so don't have to bend down. The tools are stored on board and the automatic cord rewind helps me to be lazy after I have finished vacuuming.

I have previously owned a couple of Dysons, but this Miele is absolutely fantastic.

GladAllOver · 23/05/2018 17:21

Vax.

BiscuitMachine · 23/05/2018 17:27

I love my Henry. He eats everything!

AvocadosBeforeMortgages · 23/05/2018 18:36

Nilfisk.

Marketed for commercial cleaners, but I bought mine second hand and it has suction so powerful it makes a Dyson look like a 60 a day smoker.

EcoCleaner · 23/05/2018 21:06

Vorwerk Kobold VK200, but they’re £1499. For the mid range, Sebo X4/x7

DramaAlpaca · 23/05/2018 21:07

My Miele C3 Cat & Dog is the best one I've ever had.

sulee · 25/05/2018 19:25

Love my Shark, it’s the best vacuum I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned a few! Really powerful and easy to use.

MiniMum97 · 26/05/2018 00:45

Please don't review a dyson. Tired of hearing everywhere how brilliant they are when they aren't all that. I sold one which was rubbish and bought a Miele which is way better. I have now got a dyson cordless which is disappointingly mediocre, doesn't pick up on edges or anything bigger than a grain if sand for instance, is annoying to empty (dirt bloody everywhere), and periodically decides to just empty itself on the floor. It also gets clogged every few months and you have to sit in the floor digging dirt out if the crevices in its head. Never had this with any other hoover. Very poorly designed.

NoNoCharlieRascal · 26/05/2018 00:52

Henry! He's a hardy bugger, and always so happy.

Tinkobell · 26/05/2018 08:56

Henry. They rarely break and don't damage the pile on Berber carpets...rotating heads do!

NotAnotherHeffalump · 14/07/2018 14:57

Miele C3 cat and dog. Best Hoover we've ever had.

Lauz45 · 27/07/2018 02:02

Shark duo clean (corded) is amazing! So was my liftaway but I gave it to my mum Smile
