best hoover for wood floors...

[NappiesGalore]

we have mainly wood, some stone and some carpet floors.

bought a rubbish hoover recent(ish)ly and have learned that they are not all much of a muchness, and that half price hoovers are prob crap.

will just get bog standard henry unless anyone knows of a better idea...

(am just off to search messages to see if the answer lurks in archives)

What did you buy? My hoover is rubbish at hard floors and I would like one that was good at both as we have quite a lot of carpet too. It is the Electrolux version of a Dyson and about 5 years old.

We have wooden floors, tiles and lino, and a Miele S5210 works very well.

i call it the rubbish blue thing neicie... will have to trek out to the barn to read what the manufacturers called it...

thanks belgo, will look into.

Ah mine is blue!

Am wondering if a henry type one will be better than an upright.

Isn't the Miele expensive though?

have just sen the one belgo said for 113 or 129.

i think henrys are slightly cheaper. bog standard one should be.

i dont like uprights... too heavy to move around. henry is v light. mind you, the miele looks light too...

i think its mieles which get universally recommended on here on all these hoover threads neicie... i think so anyway. never pay much attention when i dont need one!

Miele S5210 is a current which best buy at around £140 "especially proficient on hard floors but also great on carpet"

Dyson DC14 All Floors was the best upright "performed briliantly on all types of floor" £260

Which? Best Buy, obv

for 260 quid , it ought to lick them clean too.

im liking that recommendation for the miele 5210...

is it light?

according to Which? 7.8kg

ok... have found on coop site with free delivery... but they dont seem to do bags etc to go with it (would it come with soem anyway??)

or on amazon, but im not 100% sure its the same one on amazon... they seem to be coy about model no

can anyone shed any light?

coop for 129

amazon for 113, or 122 with a set of bags and filters etc

amazon sounds the no-brainer, but is it the right hoover??

and thank you for checking tissy

I always thought Miele = Serious amounts of money. Seems I was wrong.

there do seem to more expensive ones neicie... clicked thru to another one on amazon which has 'parquet brush' in the title too... is 199. and doesnt look any different apart from a parquet brush and turbo head. (?)

hhmmmmm I also have a rubbish blue one...

I recently got this
cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160152590693 on ebay for £20 delivered. We have mainly laminate flooring and it works really well on it.

Ooh a thread dear to my own heart .

I have sealed hardwood floors with cracks between that drap dust and all kinds of yucky things, and white tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, plus we live barefoot, so we are forever hoovering. I have a vintage Miele S 247i, c. 1995, and would love something better. We also have lots of mouldings on the walls that need dusting and I'd love to be able to vacuum them instead but need a very long attachment.

All ideas welcome, no budgetary constraints.

ok, have found this... an upgrade of the earlier one? gets a v good review... here. maddeningly little info from the manufaturers - hard to know what the reletive merits of diff models are

nemo - hate to say this, but that looks a little like my very own rubbish blue thing... albeit a different model i think. bloody good price tho!

the red miele (last link) says it has a natuiral bristles dusting brush on board anna...

omg, what a bummer... says dispatched withing 4-6 weeks !

Miele S5210 is relatively light and compact compared to my previous dyson.

belgo - does your Miele dust mouldings?
