Vacuum Cleaners > 160 GBP to 200 GBP Vacuum Cleaners

Advantages: Power, vaersatility, suction
Disadvantages: weight (minor disadvantage)

Having own the original style Dyson some years ago, I had an idea what to expect with the acquisition of the DC 14 when my old hoover's wheels literally came off (wasn't a Dyson by the way). The new Dyson clicked together in a few minutes, I even followed the instructions, and within a minute of registering the Dyson on line for the 5 year guarantee I was hoovering away. The DC 14 boasts some excellent features not least the 1400 w of suction which ...
...waste management system on the Dyson is again a triumph of style and simplicity over hygiene. By grasping the handle of the clear waste tube and clicking the button with your thumb, it comes away in one unit and a simple press of the button unlatches the bottom and the waste simply drops into the dustbin - no hassles. 'They are so heavy though' I hear you cry, well yes they are quite heavy and if you need to get it upstairs it can be difficult, ... Read review

Advantages: lightweight, small, ease of use
Disadvantages: small dustbag

...I have already got a dyson vac but needed to replace it due to it being old and bits starting to drop off (sounds a bit like its owner really!) I saw this on a preview and really liked it. It is only 3/4 size of a ordinary vac as the handle collapses inside itself. It is very easy to use as you just twist the handle to steer the vaccum on its ball rather than vaccing backwards and forwards. The beater bar can be switched off with a button on the ...
...Even if this vac is 3/4 size, it does just as good a job as a full size one. The dustbin is only small and requires more frequent emptying but this is not a problem. Stairs are easy to do as the power lead is quite long and the vacuum very light. I have not had any problems with it up to date It has a 5 year guarantee and 7 day help line I have had mine now for about 6 weeks ... Read review

Advantages: Which best buy, great suction, easy to use.
Disadvantages: None.

...cleaner (and any other bagged vacuum cleaner) is the ongoing cost of replacement bags. The Miele CAT DOG TT5000 is a Which Best Buy and is a must buy for anyone who wants an easy to use, effective vacuum cleaner which is small enough to store under the stairs. ... Read review

Advantages: Deep cleaning, Allergy protection, compact, easy to use, bagless
Disadvantages: initial cost, but well worth the money

...The bonus with the Dyson is that it does not take bags, so there is a saving already, and also has a HEPA filter, suitable for allergy sufferers, well I thought this would be as needed, so I got one, and to be honest, the carpets had never looked so clean, when we moved in we had an old stand up vacuum cleaner, and it wasnt the best in the world, but it kept the visable dirt away, whereas this Dyson was better than that, the deep ground dirt and ...
...well as feeling cleaner. The first main test was when my sistes came round, they did as I had asked, and gave me a decent warning, so I had time to have the cats being babysat, and a proper clean round, and it worked, admittedly they are not the most allergy sensative, but they usually would feel the signs if there was an animal kept, but they were fine, and it was not even mentioned! I am a very happy owner and have not had any problems at all ... Read review

Advantages: Works well
Disadvantages: Pricey

...was convinced, and bought the Sebo vac. Loaded it into my (French!) car and was eager to see it eat the carpet mine-field. In usual male style, I cast aside the instructions, and used macho instinct to get it set up and going. Bit of a mistake maybe, but it is quite straightforward to follow the guide. The bag can be a bit tricky, so do scan the booklet. So, a bit about the machine, it boasts 1300 watts; a good standard, and is a quite comfortable ...
...often. The capacity of a Sebo bag is over 5 litres, compared to the 3 litre Dyson cylinder. Not being the chancellor of the exchequer, I cannot forecast a long-term saving/investment return on this! I've only had this machine for 4 months. I had to change the bag after three weeks, quite satisfying really to know that the £200 was giving me such good suction. On that note, the Sebo has a warning light to tell you that the bag is full, and another ... Read review
