Default Buying a Vacuum....

Best one to get?

Bag or Bagless?

(Did a search, but most of the threads are pretty old.)

TIA

I think I paid about £160, but that was 2 years ago, so I suppose they are bound to be cheaper now

People slate them but never had a problem with our DC04 Dyson, probably get the DC07 for that price now.

Yeah I was looking at the 07, but I'm going to wait til my 04 packs in, but I think it's going to go on forever lol coz the only thing I've ever needed to do to it was change the fuse in the plug!

Get a Henry, they're awesome! OK they don't look that cool but they're only £99 ish, can be used with or without a bag and they suck like...a very sucky thing! The hose and leccy lead are sooooooo long too, I can do the whole (tinpot) house from one plug socket!

Expensive but MILES better than anything I have ever used previously (such as Dyson) is an Oreck. Only available via the factory I think. Incredible performance.

From there, refurbished with 6 mths or 12 mths warranty, but to extend warranty doesn't cost much, I've just extended mine after the 2 yrs was up, and I bet even though they are refurbished they are just as good. My mam had to get a refurbished washing machine until she could get a new one, she thought it wouldn't last long, that was about 6 years ago, she still has it!!

i would definately go with the sebo then. cant remember which model, but it has an automatically adjusting haed for different floor types and its german so its ultra reliable. problems is the bags and filters arent cheap..
ive got a dc04 with a mixture of wood floors, laminate, lino and carpet its not bad but i borrowed my ma n pa's sebo and it did a much better job of the house
