I have a Schneider vacuum cleaner from Asda , I bought it nearly 2 years ago and it cost £14.97!!! It's brilliant, great tools etc and sucks like a mutha!
Honestly the best vacuum cleaner I'ce had and I've payed upwards of £200 in the past for cleaners that didn't last much beyond a year.

It takes throw away paper bags and has variable suction and on board tool and chord storage. My house is a great test for cleaners as I have dogs, cats, chinchilla, hamsters and a 9 year old so it certainly gets a tough work out.
My only gripe is that the metal tube for the main 'wand' is a tad on the short side for me as I'm 5'10.

I'm hopeless with vacuum cleaners

i have a dyson and LURVE it!!!!
