Ours has packed in and looking on-line is overwhelming, not to mention the price of some.
We have a mix of hard floors ana carpet/rugs. Not pets but children. Two flights of stairs.
Recommendations very welcome! TIA

I recently bought a dyson v7 motorhead. It's not cheap (£250) but it's amazing and I love it! So light-weight and easy to use, great suction.

Shark - hands down.
I have three labs who shed enough to build another dog between them and it handles their hair.
The first time I used it after my Vax packed in and I only managed to do the hall and downstairs bathroom before I had to empty it, which shows how awful my Vax was performing.

Another vote for the Shark! I didn't think I could rate a vacuum so highly!! I love mine!

Shark here too👍 I really love it. So easy to take apart and clean, and good suction. But a corded one, not cordless. Wouldn't go back to cordless again as the charge is never enough (4-bed house).

Definitely Shark - and I have worked my way through dozens and dozens of all makes, sizes, shapes etc.
Shark is the best we have ever had.

Which Sharks have people got, especially those with dogs?

FairfaxAikman · 12/08/2019 19:40

I have the 801 (liftaway duoclean, corded)

Just a tip for those that have one and my not have realised, but it you take the top of the brush bit there's a wee hidden tool for taking hair off the roller. I had my shark months before I found it

Not a fan of Dyson anymore. I've bought two in the last 4years (ones a cylinder big one and one is a cordless stick) both are exasperating especially the stick.
Filters need cleaning frequently and parts unclogging a lot. Sometimes I think they've got minds of their own.

Wow, I had never heard of shark until I started searching for vacuum cleaners and had dismissed them as an unknown brand. I am glad I started this thread - thanks all!
