Need to vacuum once a day suggestions

[MumToBe2015R]

Used to vacuum 3times a week before but now LO is 5m and likes to play on the floor I feel I need to vacuum at least once a day.

Can anyone suggest a good compact vacuum cleaner? Nothing to expensive, I currently had a VAX bag less cylinder type but that's too heavy to carry up & down, 10yrs old & bendy pipe clip is broken. So need a new one anyway.

Suggestions would be great!! Thanks

Would love one of those dysons but there so expensive

We have a Henry, I hate him! Bloody thing gets stuck round corners, tips over and then sits there smirking at me! He's too heavy. I'm willing him to die so I can get a cordless dyson.

I worked out a cleaner was cheaper so have one pop in once a week and just stay dirty the rest of the time

I have a Dyson. It's thoroughly abused and always comes up trumps.

Incidently, I have a two year and an eight month old, and vacuum daily. I had no idea two little people could create such a mess - crumbs, PlayDoh confetti, raisins (even when they've not been eating them), shredded tissues, sand/twigs/bark/other crap from the park. I'm amazed at the people who only vacuum weekly 😮

I have a Henry the best hoover I have ever had. I hoover the whole house once a day then kitchen, dining room and play room at least twice more. We have a bigish 4 bed house and after going through several hoovers got a Henry 5 years ago.

I also can't understand why people need to vacuum every day (unless you have hairy pets ) - what are you all doing that your carpets get so messy? Or am I just a complete slob ?

Its more hygienic to put a washable throw down for the little one to pay on.

It's just me and my toddler but I carpet is constantly covered in crumbs and buys if food or stuff that's blown down the chimney. I Hoover at least twice a day in my living room.

After 30+ years working my way through other cleaners, I bought myself a Henry last year and absolutely love it.

However, I think vacuuming every day is ridiculous.

I hoover every day downstairs as I can't stand bits! I like a tidy house and knowing I've hoovered, cleaned the kitchen, wiped down the bathroom every day makes me feel better. Sad, I know!

I couldn't have a cleaner, I'd want them to call in every day. Once a week? No way!

I often want to hoover everyday but it's usually every other downstairs and 2x a week upstairs. But I have a Labrador and cats with light wood laminate flooring that shows fur easily.
I have two hoovers and one of those little mini Hoover things that you charge up- they're like the handle part of a Henry and very good if it's laminate and big crumbs, but slack when it comes to fur on carpet. Which is why I have a big Hoover too

"I'm amazed at the people who only vacuum weekly"

That's because we are way past the baby/toddler stage. DD is 15. and tends to cover the settee in crumbs, which is why we have a throw.

And we don't have pets.

I have an 8 month old baby. Any food mess is in the kitchen on a wipe clean floor and I don't have pets. Once a week is more than enough for now. When DS is a toddler I may eat my words....

However, I think vacuuming every day is ridiculous.

There are a minimum of 8 of us in this house, often more due to sleepovers, visiting friends etc, that includes two preschoolers who are in the house during the day to make a mess. We also have cats, dogs, Guinea pigs, rabbits, horses and a few farm animals which means people walking in and out all day with muddy boots. If we did not Hoover every day we would literally be wading through shit.

We ditched years of Dyson for a Miele - twice as good. If we ever split up, it would be hotly contested.

Proper hoovering all the house once a week but the kitchen, around the dinning room and sometimes living area do need sweeping or hoovering more often depending of how much rubbish I see laying around. No toddlers nor babies or pets in this House hough.

I won an AEG ergorapido and its great for whizzing round. I said I'd get the Dyson out when I want a thorough clean but I haven't yet.
