Talk to me about vacuums...

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

I've got a DYSON, it's a little over 5yrs old. I vac the lounge & hallway almost every day at the moment, the kitchen, kids room, stairs & my room every second day & the car once a fortnight.
It's still a great machine (although if love a new one) and I'm about to look at ordering a brand new filter for it.

Miele are awesome. We recently got rid of our shed vac, that was the house vac, that was DPs parents vac and i think they got it second hand. it was over 30 years old. Also have a Miele inside, and it works great.

the only two i have used that work to an awesome standard are miele and dyson.

I have and love my dyson. it is now 10 years old and going strong. I clean the filter out every 6 months or so and it comes up new. It's weird that yours didnt have the power?! we have had ours when we had 2 cats, and a dog and toddlers and carpet lol...it was fabulous! i hope that it's not that the quality is going out the window now that they are super popular...noooo!
