No pets Elina (unless you count my son!) I haven't got anywhere convenient to power up a cordless cleaner unfortunately. I am trying to find something light enough to carry up the stairs easily.
I quite like the Bissell range Margo.They are very economical,have easy emptying of the cyclone and great suction.Never had such a good hoover before thoroughly recommend it.
I've had a torrid time working my way through various vacuum cleaners, including Dyson, Hoover and Panasonic. None of them were much good. At last I've got a really good one that I can thoroughly recommend - the Bosch Athlet. It's bagless, cordless and re-chargeable and very powerful. Also pretty light. Currently on special offer at Argos, £50 less than the John Lewis price that I paid. About the only weakness is the smallish size of the removeable dust container.
