Is There A Good Upright Hoover That Actually Works

[emmie]

I am looking to buy a new Upright hoover, any recommendations you
can give me.

[emmie]

Naomi there are a lot to choose from which one do you have..

[pastafreak]

Funny, I don't care so much for my Gtech anymore either. It does nothing for all the pet hair. I'm better off hoovering the cat!

[ladybirder]

Here are WHICH first three Best Buys for you Emmie.
Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute 81%,
Dyson V8Absolute 79%,
Dyson V6 (Cheapest) 75%
Have a look at each and see which you think would suit you best.

I've just bought a Gtech Air-Ram because of pet hair when my dog moults quite badly in the summer, judging by what a couple of you say, it won't do much good. I believed all the hype on the ads.!

[emmie]

they come in at a lot of money. The dyson are supposed to be good i know. for middle of range expect to pay 250/300 pounds.

[hereIam]

Wish I'd got a Dyson now !

[ladybirder]

The Dyson V6 is circa £199.
The other top Best Buy at 81% is Bosch Athlet Ultimate BCH732KTGB at circa £300.

I've got a G-Tech and am very happy with it so far but I don't have pet hair to contend with. How long have you had your G-Tech?

[ladybirder]

HiA, Gtech Air-Ram gets only 57% on the WHICH website.

[hereIam]

I've only just bought it Fox, as my Vax just couldn't cope last summer with my dog's moulting hairs and I thought it may be an improvement for next summer. That's not very good is it only 57%, blimey ! It's been ok so far obviously, but next summer will be the real test. Oh well, I could always save up for a Dyson ...

I've got an older Gtech...have had it about 4 years. I found it left a lot of residual hair on carpet. I could scrape my foot over rugs and get more fluff...after vacuuming. Cleaning all the fuzz out of the brushes is also a messy pain.

[hereIam]

I got a hand held one too (it was part of the deal) and this has a very powerful suction. I thought I could go over the carpet again with the hand held one where the upright may not pick up all the hairs and hope this may be enough. I like the way the upright empties pasta and have had no problems with that, not had it long though.

[FoxLee2]

My question was actually to emmie as she said the G-Tech wasn't working too well. I've had mine for 20 months and, so far, so good but it does need emptying a lot and the filter gets very clogged very quickly.

[emmie]

i looked at Argos and the V10 Dyson come in at a hefty
£445 or so. Seems a lot for a piece of kit i won't use that often.

[murraymints]

ouch

[emmie]

ouch indeed, i considered it but it too much money to be honest. I don't vacuum all that often but the g tech for some reason deposits dirt over the carpet as you get started, not the best thing i ever bought. I complained to G Tech and their suggestions ranged from cleaning the filters, i did, to taking the thing apart, because dirt might be caught in the upright, i didn't do that, too much like hard work.
it has to be lightweight, cordless and around 200 quid, which the earlier versions of Dyson can be.
always said i wouldn't buy a Dyson but maybe its time.

[Zacs-Master]

We bought a Vax after having several Dysons. Then went back to Dyson.
