reccomend me a vaccuum cleaner

[tigersaw]

After just a few months of light duty, enough bits have fallen off the latest plastic Hoover to make me want to call it a day. It can join the dungeon, with the useless Dyson DC01 (wire snapped), DC04 (wheels fell off), both of which failed to impress. All this hepa filter nonsence, I just want something that will beat the **** out of the carpet and get all the muck and dog hairs out, not gently glide along saving the planet.

Now my gran had a proper hoover, made of pig iron with a big light on the front, that would take a cats tail off. I want something that good.

Any reccomendations?

Miele cat & dog M.A.X. It's jolly good - better than the dyson IMO (we've had two).:thumbsup:

Don't get one that sucks!

Pretty much anything Miele is supposed to be good - what happened to your first one? (Or do you mean you've had two johnny dysons?)

Two dysons. An 01 and an 07.

My Dyson DC08 (made in England) is fantastic.

I used to have hoover 1800watt that was useless getting the dogs hair out the carpet - had the spinning brushes etc etc

So I got a Dyson DC11 and IT'S AMAZING!!! it will suck the dog hair out the carpet in no time!!! Dyson for me and with 5years warranty when/if it goes wrong i'll get another one cause it will have made it's money:)

had the DC01 for 8 years and the motors just given up! replaced it with a DC07 from makro @ £99 + vat with a 3 year guarantee.

Get a henry. Yep, one of those red things with the smiley face. Cheap on Ebay.

I've had one for a year now, it hoovers the house as usual, as has also:

- Sucked up brick dust, sawdust and bits of plaster while decorating
- Been dropped from a stepladder
- Used as a workshop dust extraction tool (on the end of a wall chaser)

and it still goes on!

The great thing is, they're completely modular so if a wheel falls off you can get another for £10, a dust filter (washable) for £15 etc... you can even get replacable motors and they don't have drive belts.

If you have big problems with pet hair and the normal one doesn't do it, you can get a special "Turbo brush" thing thats supposed to help. I've not needed it.

Yup, I saw the DC07 there the other day for £99. the wife was well mad as she paid about £180 for ours. If I had known at the time how much the bloody thing cost it would have been back in the shop before you could have said refund.

Seriously though, they are damm good vacuum cleaners and well recommended by the most critical of user, ie my missus who can polish/clean more in one week than any quak zzr could in a lifetime. (Gauntlet thrown)
