... Maybe hovering up plaster bits isn't such a good idea then? Since the major building work is now finished and after a bit of discussion and investigation we decided to buy one good vacuum cleaner between us - we're not THAT interested in housework believe me!
SO WHICH ONE DID WE GO FOR?

Advantages: Easy to use, effective and compact Disadvantages: A bit expensive
...we decided on was the Miele Cat and Dog TT 5000. Now we have neither a cat nor a dog but this one seemed to be the best for power and performance from what we could see so this was the one we chose.
HOW MUCH DID IT COST?
As I said we looked in one or two places at the various sorts of cleaners and priced them as we went along. The best price we could get was Argos at £189.99.
SO WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
It is a compact cylinder model in Autumn ... ...an awkward angle whereas the Miele is carried more like a suitcase and makes it much less of a strain on my back.
THE TOOLS
The main brush is the standard floorhead and is used for carpets and floors (not unsurprisingly!) The crevice nozzle is for getting into awkward corners, crevices or folds. The dusting brush has natural bristles and is useful for cleaning skirting boards and ornate carved articles such as ceiling roses and coving. The head ...

...shops I came across the Miele Cat-Dog TT5000. I guess half of the reason I fell in love with it is the design. It has a very modern design and I just liked the look of it. The other half of me couldn’t help chuckling at the odd name. Cat-Dog. God knows why they called it that but it is quite funny nevertheless.
It was a lot of money onsidering you can pick up hoovers relatively cheaply these days but I wanted something that was going to last and ... ...the weird red colour that Miele have used on the casing. Not that red is a particular favourite colour of mine but my old hoover was a nasty shade of pea green. So red immediately looked much nicer.
And so for the test….
The Miele Cat-Dog TT5000 has a very generous length of cord so depending on where the sockets are in your house it should reach anywhere. I only have a small room to hoover so it is really easy to do and I don’t need hardly any ...

This is a great machine bags are expensive 5 for £11.99 from comet and filters need changing 6 monthly cost £15. I'd buy one again. Nice and light and powerful. Quality brand and built for 20 years use. Had a dyson - plastic and cheap and sucking power not as good

Quick review of Miele CAT DOG TT5000 Review ofMiele CAT DOG TT5000by

Having used numerous manufacturers products over the years,I never found one capable of dealing with PET HAIRS,this includes Dyson,Hoover,Electrolux,Panasonic etc. I then bought the Mile TT5000 which does the job admirably,its quiet yet powerful,is great for use on the stairs,has a good set of tools supplied,it is bagged so the offending hairs/dirt are contained for disposal,as opposed to the non bagged type which allows hairs to escape when tipping out.If you want to clean up PET HAIRS the Miele TT5000 is the cleaner for you.

Excellent machine, I am so please I actually love to hoover now! The cleaner is solid, but light weight. The metal tubes extend to a fantastic length and the head can be altered so it will fit up my sofa, bed, etc.
The cleaning result is amazing,... more
I've owned Cats and Dogs for over 4 years and over that time have watched it on numerous occasions, and this review was originally posted under a former username. It has now been subjected to a much-needed update.
