Recommendations for cordless vacuum cleaner please

Another GN not recommending a Dyson. A big and very expensive disappointment.

I've had my Gtech for at least five years and it's still going strong. It is the perfect vacuum cleaner for my house and so light and easy to use.

Nothing beats a Henry, comes close. I had to have a stick one as I couldn’t lug Henry around. My Dyson is top of the range and have had it a few months, it is very light and picks up everything but I miss the deep clean of Henry, which lifted the carpet on high clean. How long do these vacuums last does anyone know, Henry is 20 years old and going strong. Someone I know had a g tech and it broke after a couple of months by post for her to fit. I hope that doesn’t happen with my Dyson, so fingers crossed.

I have a GTech and it suits me well. Reasonable price too - compared to Shark or Dyson. The after sales service from GTech is superb - very quick delivery of a replacement part if needed.

I've got a cordless Shark Shinamae, copes well with dog and cat hair! Do wish I'd kept my Henry as well though for 'deep cleaning'. Think I told you I rescued a box out of the cellar with him before I moved.

I have never had a Henry but they are very popular we’ve even got one in our care home but I haven’t got the room to store it here as I have moved downstairs and made my dining room into my bedroom space is at a premium. It’s not through ill health that I am downstairs it’s purely because my son and his girlfriend live here and I gave up my bedroom so they could have a lounge and bedroom upstairs.. my idea

I love my Dyson cordless. It was expensive but I love it and it came top in the Which review.

Been happy with my Dyson. I suppose it’s down to personal preference. I can’t comment on the newer dyson cordless though - mines about 4 years old.

Not heard anything yet from halo so I am seriously considering getting a Gtech..?

I have had two Dyson cordless. Both broke just outside of the two year guarantee. Friend bought a G Tech and exactly the same. I now have a corded Shark. Brilliant!

Another vote for Gtech

We just got a shark stick thing in the sale on shark website. We have a Dyson cylinder but since DH had stroke he can't use it - I can but he feels guilty that it's all up to me. Debated shark and Dyson stick but I didn't want a charging station so went for the shark. DH is very pleased with it and rushes round obsessively. It has loads of attachments. I think the Dyson is lighter but not an issue. DD1 and DsiL have tried it and want one. I've just had bunion surgery so not really able to use any hoover yet ?

Shinamae

This one?

Yes, that’s the one we have.

Well if nothing can be done with my halo I think that’s the one I will go for, thanks all ??

Shinamae

This one?

Yes, that’s the one we have.

happy with my Dyson stick. had it 3 years now ......only complaint is that i live in a flat and i think it is noisy and sounds like a drill. had no complaint though and of course it's very quick to use.

^“Which”actually recommends halo as their best cordless apparently^

What criteria were they using, do you know?
(I must admit I've never heard of them)

I love my GTech, it's very effective and very easy to use. The after sales service is excellent. When mine needed a new part within a couple of months it was with me in 2 days. The guy I spoke to was very apologetic that it wasn't 24 hours, but 'they were stocktaking'.

This is it (can’t fit it all in)

When my Dyson was misbehaving, we took it to the local Dyson Doctor, ( UK franchise) and it was sorted in half an hour for £40.

I have two, Dyson stick for hard floors downstairs, GTech for carpets upstairs. I'm delighted with both, quick to charge, easy to empty, not much can go wrong with them.

Definitely not Dyson. Worst mistake we ever made. My niece is delighted with her GTech and my DD loves her Shark (so do I!).

Another vote for the GTech. I am on my 3rd GTech, had them since they were introduced. However, I was not happy with the handheld version, it lacked power and was quite heavy.

Sounds terminal then Shinamae! My son and Dil have a Shark. I really like it and will make that my next replacement when it’s needed.

I have contacted Halo customer services so will see what they say before I get a new one, “Which”actually recommends halo as their best cordless apparently
