Vacuum Cleaners - Are cylinders better ? Which likes the Miele Cylinders

[colette]

I know it is a bit boring but I want to buy a new vacuum cleaner a.s.a.p

The which report reccommends the miele S380 as one of its best buys "This is Miele's self-declared most basic cylinder vac but, with fantastic cleaning results across the board, it has all the brand's classic hallmarks."
As it is the cheapest of the best buys (£100) I am tempted but would like to know- has anyone got one and what do you think,does it make your back ache compared to hovering with an upright? And how expensive are the bags- dh reckons £15 for 5 including a filter

Thanks

sorry meant hoovering not hovering

No backache and it's quite light. Bought loads of bags upfront so not sure how much they cost. Sure if you buy in bulk like I did ages ago it's a bit cheaper.

my mum has a miele cylinder vacuum cleaner and it's sooooo lovely.
it has so much suck and yet it's really quiet. the handle is adjustable and plenty long enough for me (5'8 ish)

Wowoo thanks am pleased it is light. Have a monster of a hoover that puffs dirt out sometimes so can't wait- easily pleased

and quiet great thanks fingerwoman must put ds to bed will check later.
