Whats a good model of vacum cleaner these days?

Well I like my little Dyson DC05 with a turbo brush head we bought seperately from Tesco - excellent for dealing with dog hair. But then I only have a small 2 bedroom house and not much storage room, so a small cylinder cleaner like that is ok for us.
Depends on the size of your house, what type of flooring you have, and any pets etc.

We also have a Bissell carpet washer, now that is good for picking up absolutely everything!

maybe it is the turbo brush head that makes a difference, but when we 'upgraded' our DC02 to a DC05 I found the standard head was really hard to push along, because the suction was so fierce, but I didn't try it with the turbo brush head - too late now, my son has the DC05, we've got the old DC02, we gave him, back, complete with turbo brush

house is mixture of carpet and wooden flooring.

You need one that you can turn the beater bar off for when you do your wood flooring, I swear by my Dyson

Gota Dyson here too... dunno the model, but it's fairly recent (not the one with a ball, but the model before that) came with a pet brush thingy too... works a treat!

I'm surprised nobody has volunteered their partner yet

bb31 · 26-07-2006, 23:31

the dyson vote for me too. i dont think u will find a better model out there, and judging by all the replies, other people think similar

I hate bagless cleaners. One gust of wind as you're emptying the thing in the bin and that's it. I'm allergic to dust - would be a nightmare.

Yet they collect so much more than a bagged one.
