Pleasure, enjoy.

We have a Dyson V8 and it can comfortably do the whole house on one charge.

3 extremely deep pile carpets on normal suction and 6 wood/tiled floors on max power.

If you try and hoover the carpets on max power, the suction is that strong I can't move the thing. Absolutely love it.

Dyson V8 being ordered as we speak.

Many thanks to all for your input and special thanks to Miniman!

I keep aiming to buy a cordless Hoover to just suck up the cobwebs but all the Amazon reviews seem to be of people who have just bought the item and think it's amazing or people who have used it for at least a month and now say the battery only lasts 10 minutes.

I don't want a top end solution. We have a couple of normal Dysons for the proper hoovering but I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has found a cheapy cordless vacuum that performs pretty well?

Vax blade 24v. £150 but powerful enough to suck the carpet up.

I've got a VAX air and gtech mk1.
Not that impressed with the VAX,not great suction and gets clogged.
The gtech however is brilliant.

I have a V6 and it was easily the best purchase for my house!

This is a very good deal - refurbished from Dyson. Cheap way to get a good vacuum cleaner!

I've got the V6 and think the suction is fine but find emptying the container a complete PITA. Open lid and the dirt doesn't come out unless I prod it - anyone else have this issue ?

Yep I do but apparently has been overcome by with the V8.

Recently needed a new vacuum and found this on offer:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00SL55UME/

Bargain and flipping brilliant so far (mind you haven't had a new one for 20 years so things have moved on technically!).

(Oh, you'll have to spend your JL voucher on something else.)

Thats the one I've got,not that impressed.
Doesn't do the edges and the collection thing gets clogged at the inlet,not that powerful either.

This is true.

I'm late to the party here, but the V8 is a massive improvement over the V6, the battery, but also the way you empty it is much improved.

We have carpet everywhere and I can do almost all of our 4 bedroom house on a single charge, i've only run out of battery once. I don't usually do the whole house at once, but it's so convenient that you end up doing it more often.

Would V8 again.

The Mk2 is even better

I have a Dyson (I think) Animal.

Very disappointed with it. Constantly having to take it apart and unclog it.

It's a very cool device, but it's expensive and it's stored away in the cupboard. I'm back using my Henry hoover.

Ironically, collecting dust

A couple of queries on the subject of cordless vacuums, if anyone in the know could answer?

The Dyson V6/8's - presumably you can use the direct-drive cleaner head without the long pole thingy? i.e. for cleaning the stairs

Also, I'm about to embark on a five bedroom house. What cordless vacuum's are going to have enough battery power to do all five bedrooms, hallway and stairs in one go?

Thanks

[anonymous-user]

do you still have the accessories as i would buy them off you?

Yes you get a variety of heads, they all fit and work on the long pole or directly to the unit itself.

We have a 4 bedroom, kitchen, utility room, 2 bathroom, 1 downstairs loo, kitchen, dining room, lounge, stairs and hallway... I don't knwo how much our cleaner does on Turbo versus normal mode but she manages to do all of the house every week and doesn't' have to resort to the traditional Vacuum.

Would it have the battery capacity to do a 5th bedroom and assume all the other rooms are a bit larger? who knows!

The other thing as someone else has said as it's so easy we find we do just run it over the hardwood floors more often to pick up dog hairs!
