Hi everyone,

I am thinking that I will have to buy a new vacumn for upstairs, (I can't carry it upstairs anymore.) that one at Argos seems good, although sounds a bit cheap, if anyone has one of those, what's it like. I was thinking of using the new one down stairs where most of the muck is and having the old Dyson upstairs as it is ageing a bit.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

P.S. I don't really want to spend hundreds on a one really

This subject became a sore point in Snorri mansions a few months back! Mrs S decided that our old Electrolux Twin Turbo was dying. I had a look at it, and thought that it was just a case of the air stream being blocked somewhere - there was no sign of any electrical failure. However, we HAD to get a new one, because, obviously, I had no idea what I was talking about. £40 got us an Electrolux Filtaire, which seems to be pretty good (especially dog-hairwise).

As the old machine was still operating, we decided to give it to a friend, so I dug the instruction booklet out of my "manuals file" - the till receipt was still there (18 years old!), but it transpired that the air filters had never been either cleaned or replaced in all that time. My original theory had been correct - the airstream was blocked. £40 for a problem which could have been solved for 40p!

Mrs S rejected the possibility of a Dyson, as too many of her friends and relatives have had Dysons that packed in too early. I've heard both good and bad of them, so I don't argue one way or the other about them!

Dyson Animal - well worth the money
