Thanks!

never heard of SEBO so can't help i'm afraid.

why won't amazon post to BFPO? Is it more expensive?

Here is the original thread about the Dyson trial www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=1374&threadid=471173#9701294

If you get a Miele I'd recommend making sure it's model with the turbo brush (Cat and Dog, or 5280 include it, and some other models do - I think you can even buy it separately in some places).

I find that the standard head is incredibly difficult to push across the carpet (unless I'm doing something wrong, which is entirely possible) - the turbo head is a dream though.

Also make sure you turn down the suction before using the little attachments, or the noise will deafen you!

Overall I really like my Miele (have the 5280).

I also have a Dyson upright which is on its way out hence the Miele - it's great for upright hoovering but rubbish suction on the hose. Oh and it suffers from overheating and cutting out. Other than that, not doing too badly for a 10 year old model.

Thank you this is all great advice.

Yes I'm sure it's a postage thing amid. Not all companies will post here even though it's the same as first class postage in the UK

I promise you SEBO is fab-I am a bit of a hoover addict (or was in the past)but now I have found my one true love....

Debenhams in Birmingham stock Sebo and DH is at home on a course at the moment. How impressed do you think he will e if I ask him to bring home a vacuum for me?

When I say at home I mean in the UK, and I want him to bring it home to Cyprus! To much to ask?

i had a sebo
didnt like it

another vote for sebo we have this one
it is fantastic, bags easily changed in 1 minute not ever had a problem with it.

another vote for miele - cat and dog

absolutely fantastic - was full of shame when saw what was coming up and that was after a £260 dyson which was crap from day one

researched it all on which (sad I know) and have not been disappointed

PMSL @ troutpout's hoover porn!

oh no Cod-SURELY you don't prefer the bloody D word???

We havethis one

I'm off to our local electrical shop to see what they have but have a feeling they will be Dysons and LG. We have a large CarreFour here too so I might pop their this afternoon before I ask Dh to go shopping for me!!

this is the one we have - looks small but has a very nasty suck

Troutpout
9.13 post was hilarious "hoover porn"

Gosh I almost became aroused then remembered you were talking about a gadget that basically collects crumbs and dead skin etc off of the carpet

we need a new hoover-have a rubbish dirt devil one-i have to get down on my knees and go over and over the same bit of carpet again and again-thought it would be good as it had a good suck and was 2000w but i'm so fed up-it takes a goog hour and a half to do our (tiny) house. Tell me that isn't normal!?

So what do i need to get? Dp in convinced i need to get an upright-do I? Do miele not do uprights?

I hate the carpets being dirty but find myself hoovering less than once a week cos it is such a big job-and i only have a small lounge, stairs, landing and 2 bedrooms to do.

to upright or not to upright-that is the question!

Mile.

I meant "Miele" of course .

Really, seriously good.

SmartArse-is it an upright? Dp thinks that an upright would be better as they have rotating brushes-i'm quite clueless. Which miele do you have?

No, not upright. Other one (what's that called?!). Aren't stairs a little tricky with an upright?

TBH, I can't remember exactly which Miele I have, but mother, sister, MIL and SIL and I all have different ones and all swear by them. MIL previously had a Dyson and much prefers the Miele.

i can't think what they are called either

I've always thought that its much easier doing stairs with a 'not upright' but my mum and dps mum have only ever had them (uprights that is!).

right i'm off to investigate mieles......
