Need A new Hoover

The Woo needs a new Hoover any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

It needs to be light to carry,and uncomplicated so that I can just pick it up and switch it on,preferably without 200 tools all over it ,I just want a simple Hoover for a simple Owl

 

Good afternoon Beckie and Pamdish , thank you for replying to my post its much appreciated my friends,Mrs Woo already has a Henry hoover she says its like being married to yours truly she has to drag it round behind her only joking she would prefer an upright hoover if that is possible

 

Hi Woo, we've recently bought a new one as the old one was getting to be too unwieldy.

Mrs Shiney absolutely loves it.

It's not cheap but works very well and is cordless. It's a Dyson 44 Animal (I guess it's good for picking up dog hair although we don't have a dog). It got a very good report from Which?

It only weighs 2.3kg (battery operated), picks up better than our old Dyson corded machine, has just a few attachments (a reasonable size head and a mini head, plus a couple of little things), clips into a docking station for recharging that I have put on the wall in a cupboard, runs for a good 20 minutes on a single charge and the head can be detached for use on stairs or in the car.

Go and have a look at one in a local store. I phoned around our local stores to find one that had it in stock. Whilst talking to them I asked what was the best price they could do it for. Then, when we had decided to buy I asked the store that we liked best whether they could equal the best price we had been offered (they always do). Don't forget to also look on line at prices. A store will always equal a price you find as long as it's not a price from an online store. The best price I've seen on a quick look is £249.99.

This is a very good video of it.

There was nothing wrong with our DC07 but it was getting too heavy for us (put it on Freecycle).

The one above actually does an even better job than the DC07 and is also much quieter (better for my tinnitus). As it's so easy to use we don't mind only having 20 minutes at a time. It just takes a second to take it from its clip in the cupboard and then put it back so there's no hassle.

Mrs Shiney loves it so much, because it's so light and no messing around with cables, that she uses it more than before. As it works so well and is so easy to use it takes much less time than the big one we had. One charge does almost the whole of the place in 20 minutes (but it won't do the summerhouse on the same charge). The summerhouse gets cleaned more often now because it weighs so little it's easy to take across there.

I haven't used it yet on my car - only had the cleaner a few months and it isn't my car's birthday yet!

 

It was still going strong after all those years

More than can be said for me!
