Latest Which? tests (March 2015)....the cheapest Best Buy cylinder is the Miele Classic C1 Junior Powerline...."a fantastic vacuum at a bargain price".
Not yet Danny . I'm going to have a look on line for comparisons, prices etc then make a decision, lots to choose from! As I said earlier unfortunately i don't have a convenient place to charge a cordless one up.
I had a Miele vacuum 30 years ago, bought in Germany it survived all sorts including my then 3 year old pouring yoghurt into it ! When it finally gave up the ghost I bought a Dyson, not that impressed tbh so I came back to Miele, best machines out there.
