    We've got a Vax Carpet Shampoo machine - had it for a while, and its still does a cracking job.

    The vacuum you are looking at seems to have reasonably good feedback on the Amazon site, and at the end of the day if they deliver it and its not up to scratch you can simply return it under the distance selling regs.

    When our Dyson gave up we got a Samsung cleaner , just as good as Dyson at a third of the price. Vax are a very good make , just check the Argos prices as well.
    Have a look at the Dyson prices ! :hate-shocked:

      I have bought a small unexpensive vacuum cleaner in homebase. It is bagless, not upright, very colourful and fun to use and very easy to clean. Perfect for my needs if it wasnt that it is very noisy, but then in that price range they usually are.

        Sounds good! I had a big dyson but it was so heavy.Struggled getting it up the stairs. Now have the smaller dyson with the swivel ball for upstairs and a Henry for downstairs.Love my Henry because it has a large bag and I have to use it every day because of the parrots..scruffy devils:)

        I bought a vax just before Christmas, for it's extra long cord and being so much lighter than the dyson. It's great! Sucks the carpet right off the floor! And full of dust where the dyson had already been.

            ...they are very good "suckers" - just ensure they are emptied regular (we empty ours every week) and filters cleaned per manufacturers book and they will give you years of service - much longer than the bag ones where the dust gets every where but the bag
