Which Vacuum Cleaner

i am thinking of buying a new Vacuum cleaner and wondered if anyone could advise . These are my requirements,

must have good suction

The tools must be easy to assemble and fit for purpose.

A longish lead if mains electric type

Easy to empty , and light enough to carry upstairs

I would also like opinions on both bagless and cordless cleaners.Can you help?

Well  those  were  the  requirements  that  my  sister ( 85 years  young  )  had  and,  yesterday,  she  bought  herself  a  Dyson  Animal  Rechargeable and  traded  in  her  Dyson  "Weighs  a  Ton"  mains  type !!

Saw  her  today  &  even  her  moggy  is  impressed  !!

EDIT  :--     There  is  a  similar,  but  longer  more  complete  thread  running  on  "Parts  &  Accessories"  if  you  need   more  guidance!

Thanks for that ABM, just visited the other thread didn't realise there was another on same topic . Asked how long the Battery lasts before charging and if any one knows the price of a replacement? On the Dyson rechargeable

You have a vacuuming app on your phone? 

Have you a preference for an upright or cylinder cleaner? Our Sebo upright is now about 16 years old and still going strong. Before that we had a Miele cylinder, even older, but still working. Downside, perhaps, is neither is a lightweight.

 Thanks for that David, but the weight is a factor.

We have lots of apps in Wales, one that springs to mind is Iolo ap Dafydd

David K, funnily enough we went down the same road. Our Sebo is also about 16 now but still going strong!  Our Miele vacuum  cylinder type cleaner is now used to clean the inside of the cars but must be really 30 years old at least, and still reliable.

but I guess the Dyson Animal rechargeable is the only one for the caravan (The short version is more suitable and stores easily)
