If you have a vacuum cleaner that does the stairs, under the bed and is not heavy please tell me tell me!

Currently have a Dyson, it is so heavy and won’t go under the bed due to the ball thing. Nightmare doing the stairs.

I have a Miele C3 active cylinder. Our house has a mixture of hard floors, tiles, rugs & carpet. I bought the wonderful parquet floor brush head as well. We have 2 dogs & a cat & it copes well. I always buy the proper Miele dust bags

We have a Henry cordless. It does do under thd bed but no hinge so you have to bend. Best thing is it uses bags - not so eco friendly as a Shark in that respect but I found emptying that thing disgusting - breathing in clouds of dust and having to dig your hands in to get everything out 🤢.
We also have a normal Henry and two (old) Mieles, all pretty good but don’t really bother with them since little Henry arrived - too awkward to lug up the stairs.
I’ve had two Dysons in the past, both useless, and the Shark burnt itself out.

Agree with a Henry

I replaced a big heavy upright corded ball Dyson about 10 years ago with a lightweight cordless stick Dyson (v6 maybe?) and it's still going strong. I bought directly from Dyson as they were price matching other places and also throwing in free accessories so I have all the different types of heads for using it as a handheld (great for the car and stairs and dusting shelves etc) and two big main heads for floors (hard and carpet). I have had to replace the battery once (after about 8 years). It makes vacuuming so easy, as you can whip it out for a 10 second job just as easy as doing the whole house, without worrying about lugging about a big one and finding plug sockets.

I have the shark stratos cordless. Like pp said it folds for under beds etc only thing is I bought an extra battery as the battery length isn't great depending on how large of a space you have.

I've just bought a Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner IP3251UKT - it's fantastic! Originally bought a top of the range Dyson and returned it.

Went through a Dyson phase but have had Henry for years. Reliable and solid and can be fixed with gaffer tape, should the need arise.

Definitely. The best vacuum you can buy.

Many thanks for this recommendation - CX1 Cat and Dog. After spending ages going through all the options, we plumped for this one, bought it and picked it up yesterday. It is exactly what I was looking for. Immediately on getting it out of the box I did under the bed... wow! amazing! Also great for stairs and (for me) so so much better than the Dyson.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
