The whole impression gives confidence, which is improved by the two-year guarantee. The suction is far superior to our out-going vacuum cleaner; which was far more expensive. The bedroom carpet 'fluff test' was passed without any trouble. Stairs and under furniture are easily managed. It is reasonably quiet and easy to pull around. The accessories are reasonable priced and of good quality. At £99, this vacuum cleaner is well recommended. Pros: Cons:

BUT and a huge BUT, it lifted old fitted carpets off the floor and was so difficult to push around, even on the lowest setting. Same thing happened when I tried it on my kitchen rugs at home.

Each time I've bought a new one I've debated the well founded train of thought that a cheap one simply won't last, and won't clean as it should. But nevertheless, the cheap option has still been what I've gone for.At £89 from John Lewis, this is the most expensive vacuum cleaner I've bought - yet given the price of the other Which Best Buys, this machine can be considered a budget purchase.I found the performance nothing short of a revelation. As a very clean and tidy person, I was astounded at the amount of dirt that came of the cream carpets in my flat when using this vacuum for the first time. It is quite literally like having new carpets.Only time will tell if it lasts the distance, or it retains all its suction power - but for now, I can recommend this without a moment's hesitation.

The curved tube and main brush are not keyed so aligning them can be a little tricky.Overall, my old Meile may have been marginally better in some respects but the Bosch at £45 less than cheapest Meile is a much better buy and will hopefully be more reliable!

The Bosch performs as well as the Miele, is lighter and easier to handle as well as using less power. Use of the brush head on our stairs has been no more difficult than was that of the Miele.

| wrote: | collimi wrote: Which recommendation is spot on Light, easy to carry around, no problem doing stairs with a little lateral thinking about the head position, sucks up everything it's been asked to. The only thing I've noticed with it is it seems to have a very piercing whine on full power that I find quite uncomfortable, although my wife says it doesn't affect her. So that'll be who does the vacuuming sorted then! But seriously, but for a somewhat annoying noise (to me), this has so far been a cracking little vacuum cleaner for under £100. Pros: Cons:

Cleaner has run without fault but today the cable return jammed and refused to draw in the cable. Investigation showed a small plastic brake in the withdrawal mechanism had broken. Looks like the life of this cleaner is just over 12 months. Pros: Cons:

Best Buy nomination and customer reviews, having decided to 'upgrade' from a little Morphy Richards 1500w bagless 'Pod' (plastic tubes always eventually cracked!). It cleans fine, but I find it very bulky (twice the size of the Pod) and awkard to pull and manouvre due to the positioning of the hose fixing and this can limit the flexibility of the cleaning range, due to the hose being pulled back by the body. This also makes it very difficult to clean on stairs, though the ability to shorten the tube, makes this easier. Plus side are the long cord and the ability for the cleaning head to 'flatten' and reach under my sofas! Paid £99 at Currys in June 2012. Pros: Cons:

The rooms are cleaner than they've been in years because it's so easy to reach up, under and into spaces lost to the Dyson. Powerful adjustable suction is good too.I recommend Perry's 94 Lee High Road SE13 for a universal dusting head that fits perfectly and for generic fabric bags reasonably priced: 020 8318 1104. It cost 86.59 on Pixmania last week. Pros: Cons:

Its a sophisticated looking cleaner, Very Germanic in design, if that makes sense. Looks the business. Very well built. Feels sturdy to use, stable, all the components are of high quality and are well made. This is important to me because all other vacuums i have had have broken in one way or another due to poor quality. I like to buy something knowing it will last. Its very energy efficient which is nice in all aspect, very powerful to the point it actually grooms thick pilled carpets, picks up a lot of dirt and dust and I find this cleaner to be very quiet. I like the automatic cable rewind, its much nicer to use than a standard one. A very nice vacuum and a joy to use. Pros: Cons:
