Vacuum cleaner that will clean under SMALL gap under the bed?

Please can anyone help me. My bed is very low to the floor and I need a vacuum that will clean this area. I'm getting a bit desperate as can't cope with any dust

Or you could get a higher bedframe. That might be simpler

ShortSilence · 29/11/2020 12:52

Just move the bed a bit and hoover?

Why can’t you cope with any dust? (I don’t mean that aggressively btw but it does sound extreme)

bebarkered · 29/11/2020 12:53

It's a new bed. Knew I shouldn't have bought it, but, fell in love with it

I can't move it, it's REALLY heavy. I've got an allergy to the dust mite

Then hoover your mattress and freeze your pillows. Unless you sleep on the floor I doubt you'll get close enough to breathe in droppings from under your bed.

We've raised our beds and sofas on feet, and have a Eufy robot hoover. I pulled the sofa out yesterday and NOTHING!! We have two dogs and a long haired cat, and there was NOTHING at all behind there, I was delighted!

We've changed the feet on the sofas, and used www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073WFCV1L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_jY6WFbKT50CKT?tag=mumsnetforu03-21 this sort of thing for the beds.

I bought an attachment for my shark which fits under small gaps like a bed.

This is my bed. No, I don't have a hard floor in my bedroom, it's carpeted

Ah I'd love a robot hoover.

ShirleyPhallus · 29/11/2020 14:35

Some very odd responses on here Confused

You might be best with a wand hoover? If you have the dimensions of the gap cross check with the height of the vacuum head but dyson, miele, shark all do good ones

Shark wand attachment should do it. How do you cope with carpet in the bedroom?

bebarkered · 30/11/2020 12:24

Hi DDIJ
The gap under the bed is 5 inches

I reckon Henry could do that. Do you know anyone who would lend you one to try?

FloorLamp · 30/11/2020 12:31

Pretty sure my Vax would get under that. It can go flat.

Snap!

Was just about to post when I spotted @Mumdiva99 had suggested the same thing.

This attachment is brilliant! 😁

DottyDotAgain · 30/11/2020 14:42

You need an Eufy. Life changing (I know - sounds ridiculous) and I'd never be without one now. She's just wonderful and would easily fit under that gap - no more dust, and no more hoovering! Grin

Thank you all again for helping me. I bought a cylinder vacuum, couldn't get it under the bed properly! Had to return it. Decided to buy a Gtech MK2. Sooooooo glad that I did! I've finally been able to vacuum under the bed! What a fantastic lightweight machine it is. Picked up so much dust, I'm absolutely thrilled X
