Dyson DC25 - If you've got pets it's brilliant

Advantages: Manouvreable, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

I have a number of pets (almost too many to count) that leave hair all over the house and after my vacuum cleaner gave up the ghost i started looking for a new one. I was originally drawn to the DC25 because of the fact it will pick up animal hair. After using it for the first couple of times i noticed that it had far better sucking power (alright that probably isn't the technical term) than any other vacuum cleaner i have ever owned. My carpet has ...
...the attachments on board and they all have places to clip onto the vacuum which is a great thing for me as i usually put things down somewhere and completely forget where i put them. The amazing thing about it is that instead of having the typical standard four wheels it has a rolling ball mechanism which makes it so much more manouvreable and easier to access to spots you never could without moving the furniture with a normal vacuum cleaner. In ...

Dyson Animal - King of the vacuums

Advantages: does what it claims, safe for stairs
Disadvantages: expensive

I have a new vacuum and I love it!!!!! I am a pet owner and cat breeder so the obvious choice for me was to get a 'pet specific' vacuum. I have had ones in the past but find that they do not cope well with the short barbed hairs of my Dalmatian. So with a bit of trepidation I coughed up the enormous price tag attached to this vacuum with the hope it would work. I unpacked the vacuum and was please to find it mostly together already. In the box were ...
...parts and labour - my hover was shop bought and the sales person tried to offer me this as an extra so watch out!!!. I plugged it in and off I went. I have had cylinder machines in the past however I found the upright model to be much lighter than I expected and very manoeuvrable I whizzed around the living room in no time at all. The clear dust collection chamber showed the hairs being gathered up. The onboard tools made it very convenient and pulling ...

Review of Dyson DC27 Animal

roomba 560 by i robot

Advantages: no more hoovering what else do you need.
Disadvantages: few minor echnical problems but sorted out immediately by the helpline.

i was very sceptical about this product at first but was pestered to buy it by my gadget obsessed son. The price was £250 online which when compared to say a dyson is not so bad. I relented and was so glad i did. I expected something similar to one of those hand held hoovers but this was so much more. it copes wonderfully with my carpet and dog hairs from a very hairy dog. I don't have to worry about doing the vacuuming now i just leave it to roomba. ...
...into various rooms to clean up which is a bonus. Also it has made them more aware of the stuff they leave on the floor because they are worried it will damage the machine. It does need regular cleaning but it is easier to clean than it is too vacuum a room. I have had a few problems with it but rung the helpline and they have sorted it immediately, very friendly people. ...

Review of iRobot Roomba 530

Great vacuum cleaner

Advantages: Durability
Disadvantages: Not light.

...Lewis but the salesperson recommended Sebo - doesn't look as modern and uses a bag so we were sceptical but she convinced us - and it's still going strong ~7 years later! Very good suction, very easy to manoeuvre, good tools and good filtering. Bags are not particularly cheap but are very durable and are available on discount websites; the mechanism for the attachment of the bags is very easy. It tends to 'walk' if it is left switched on when in ...
