If your budget is £40, this model is worth serious consideration. 1800W power makes a big difference from the bargain basement cleaners on the market.

People interested in environmental issues will be pleased to see the cleaner comes with a textile dust bag which ...

Advantages: easy to use,versatile,well made
Disadvantages: none as yet after 4 weeks

...flatter to deceive. This Miele is versatile, quiet and has easy maneuverability around the home. The drawback is dust bags but they last a long time and work well; being easy to change and dispose of. It has settings from curtains to heavy soiled carpets and a choice of filters. Tools are well designed and the smaller ones actually are in a neat compartment in the cleaner. We bought it specifically for our oak wooden floors and the special parquet ... Read review

Advantages: Compresses all dust
Disadvantages: The turbine head is quite powerful and can make your arms ache

The LG V-KC902HTM is a new type of cyclone vacuume cleaner, a 2000 watt bagless. It is not only bagless but also compresses all dirt and dust into a tank which is very easy to lift out and empty. It is very quiet and smooth running, following along behind you with ease. It has a good length telescopic pipe which houses all the controls in the handle and goes from the on position, to curtains, sofa, carpet, and floor and of the course the off position. ...
...which speaking from experience, really does get the dirt up, a smaller turbine head which is great for getting into all those hard to reach places, upholstery nozzle, dusting brush and a crevice tool for going round the skirting boards. All of these attachments are very easy to fit, its just a simple one click motion.

Advantages: Suction...
Disadvantages: everything else...

...only 7 months. Following Vax instructions for under warranty repairs I brought my machine to their local repair centre where it has been sitting for 10 days without nobody repairing it or updating me until I have complained with Vax service manager who only then informed me that there were no spare motors available for the repair. He then instructed me to call their premium rate phone line (of course, so they can get money even from the customers ...
...her team leader, since probably Vax managers are too busy to deal with insignificant customers. The team leader at least listened and promised to get the replacement machine sent on their fastest delivery service which usually takes 3-4 working days. I am still waiting. I will never purchase a Vax product again and I would never advise anybody to buy one. ... Read review

Advantages: amazing cleaning power, easy to empty
Disadvantages: a bit awkward to steer until you get used to it

I've never had a Dyson before but so many friends have said they were good so I decided to invest! It's easy to use and has great suction - I can't believe how much more dirt it picks up compared to my old vacuum cleaner. So easy to empty as well, just hold over a bin, press a button and the bottom opens and all the dirt tips out! Can be a bit dusty though! But much less messy that my old "bag" cleaner. Love the telescopic tube which is great for ...
...long cable too which means I can plug it in in my living room and do the whole flat without unplugging it! Was a bit awkard to steer at first though but am getting used to it now. My carpets haven't looked so clean in years so I'm very happy! ... Read review
