I have an old Dyson which is still going well after almost 25 years. However it is big and heavy and I'm not getting younger so want to invest in a lightweight cordless. A friend has the Dyson and swears by it as she has a dog. There are just the 2 of us and we have mainly wooden floors, with thick carpet on the stairs and landing and no pets. Would appreciate any views from members who have either vacuum. Thanks

I bought a Gtech Air Ram a few months ago, and love it. It is lightweight and really quite powerful. On one full charge, it is more than enough to do up and downstairs. We have carpets everywhere, except for the kitchen, loos, hall and porches back and front. The changes in level do not matter, and it is easy to empty, which do need doing fairly frequently. The red charging light appears if the dust container is full and the filters dusty. Once cleaned, off it goes again without recharging. The only fiddly bit is when you take out and wash the filters. I've now got the hang of it, but it took awhile to learn the knack. It doesn't have a flexible hose for corners etc, but use either "Henry" or my little Miele for that when I feel virtuous grin

What has happened to the other posts on this thread earlier?

annsixty I thought that I was losing it but maybe not.

No, you're not losing it - there is another thread
