So glad you put this thread on. We have a Panasonic and it is absolute rubbish at picking up RUBBISH. We have had a look at Which Mag. and they recommed Miele cleaners so it has been really helpful reading the replies. Carolyn |

My mother has a Kirby and its been going for YEARS - I'm 40 ( nearly in the summer ) and I can't remember ever seeing her with anything but!!! I myself have Beam - its a hole in the wall vacuum that sends all the dust and dirt out of the house via the hose into the cannister in the garage - its fantastic & hassle free!! Merry Christmas & much happiness Debi |

I use a Dyson "Animal". Wih two long haired cats and a golden labrador, I find it very good. The turbo tool has a revolving head , great for stairs. the whole thing is quite heavy but has a very long flex. I think Dyson are well designed.To those who say that theirs dosent pick up well any longer, I have a suggestion. Take it apart as much as you can, easy really, cut off all threads and hairs wound round brush strips. The trickiest bit is getting the right tool to open up the cover of the cyclones which get cloggedf with dust. You need a little tool with a special name , a bit like an Allan key except that it has a flower shaped head. undo those secrews and give the thing a really good clean out. I do this about once every 4 months. Wouldnt be without my trusty Animal! |

I haven't got a clue!! I do use it but not very often! We have laminate floor downstairs so I tend to hoover upstairs once a fortnight. Couldn't tell you the make of the thing. It's a cylinder one and it works pretty well but is rubbish at picking up hair. Jack x |
