Wife wants a new Vacuum Cleaner

[Chizel - Founding Father]

Well Guys n' Gals after all your valuable advice, it came down to a choice of potentially four.

Miele - good reviews but in another price bracket
G- Tech - good reviews but looks pretty basic with regards to accessories
Dyson V15 Detect- on the shortlist if one appeared at a good price
Shark Stratos Pet - comes with 2 batteries

Anyway, one (Shark) just came up on Flea-bay with 12 month warranty and a it's a catalogue return after being used once (eek !!).
RRP £250, but seller accepted £100 and free postage

You need the new Dyson cordless

I wouldn’t ever have another Dyson. I know many like them, but in my experience they are incredibly badly built, and despite claims, they lost power…a lot and before very long.

These are used by the Ducati MotoGP Team

I've had 2 DC-04's for 28 years (got them free from James as we were involved in the manufacture and launch - personally mainly getting pissed in Portugal) and they still work great.
Made in the UK

Dyson vacs were really good until the eu introduced power restrictions
The battery ones like most things battery powered not so good

It's a Poor Folk thing.

Poor Folk live in homes that have stairs.

Of course you have to have stairs.... in case your lift isn't working.
Some people in Yorkshire have fancy chairs that travel up the stairs.
