Advantages: Very handy for a small house
Disadvantages: Expensive

I guess having a dyson cleaner is been on my wish list for more than a few years now. I've got a Dyson the moment I bought a house. Dyson cleaners are always recommended highly by my friends as they last for a very long time and it is worth the money you are paying for. The reason behind going for this model is that upright models are not friendly for staircase and tiny places. It is very good for allergy sufferers as I suffer allergy from dust ... Read review

Advantages: Small and manouevrable
Disadvantages: Small dustbag

Unlike the previous review, I have had no problems with The Boss. The retractable brush on the brush head means it glides over carpets - including a brand new thick pile carpet - and for had floors I leave the brush out, sweeping up dust too. It's so useful for cleaning in between chair legs after a meal with the children - I only use it as a supplementary cleaner however. The small size of the cleaner means that the dustbag fills quickly. Unlike ... Read review

Advantages: Compact. Simple to use. Everything to hand. Brush turbine tool.
Disadvantages: Not One found in 6 months of use.

Dyson DC20 Animal Stowaway Pro : This Vacuum cleaner is 'THE BEST' I have ever used/owned. It beats the Kirby every time, cost wise, It out performs every other vacuum I have ever tried, as a Decorator I operate many clients vac's, none come close to the Dyson for efficient dust and paper collection. The brush floor tool is absolutely brilliant, whether you have pets or not.. just get one... it cleans right to the very edge of the carpet... no more ...
...exactly like that so its unobtrusive. All the tools are attatched to the vac, in easy reach.. not shoved in a cupboard, just press a button to disconnect the cleaning head, slip on the attatchment and hey presto... nuf sed! Just get one, you wont prove me wrong! sue c ... Read review

Advantages: loads
Disadvantages: none

I find the dyson dc02 very easy to use, it is much lighter than upright cleaners when lifting. the long cable means that I am able to get round the house in most rooms without having to unplug and replug in different rooms. The maintenance on the dyson has been very minimal as it is hard wearing to an excellent standard it has not broken down unlike cheaper models, I think it is worth paying the money for dyson as you really get value for money. ...
...you do not need to order them and they are very reasonably priced. Also being a bagless cleaner there is no mess emptying it, just unclip and empty. Overall the dyson is so easy to use not back breaking that even the kids have no excuse not to help out ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant suction, excellent if you have pets
Disadvantages: The weight - really heavy

I bought this hoover nearly two months ago and I think it's fab! The suction on it is amazing and the different levels on the brush bar for different piles of carpet is fab, don't think I've ever seen my rugs looking so clean since they were new. The attachements are pretty much what you'd expect to get with a new hoover and the longer hose definitely makes life easier, especialy when cleaning the stairs, I no longer have to lug the hoover up the ...
...now stays at the bottom while I work away vacuuming each step. If you have pets I would say that this hoover is what you've been looking for, so long as you can move it. The weight of the hoover is the only major disadvantage I've found so far, I'm no weakling but it is heavy, not so bad once you get going with the hoovering but there is no way I can carry it up the stairs!! I have to get my husband to do this, but on the bright side, it does mean ... Read review
