Cordless vacuum how good are they?

We have had a upright Dyson vacuum cleaner for years ,can’t fault it.
Now Dyson are no longer making uprights..........only cordless new style.
So we are thinking our old one will soon be worn out.
So how good are these new state of the art cordless vacuum cleaners?
Are they really capable of cleaning large carpeted floors properly?
The Which recommended is the Dyson(of Which there are several models)of course they are the most expensive.
There are of course many other makes and models on the market ,all of which advertise how brilliant they are.
They are certainly lighter in weight than lugging a large upright up a flight of stairs.
Has anyone had experience with these?
This does seem the way forward but I am not convinced...........yet.

 

A friend of mine bought a Dyson cordless about 4 years ago. According to her, it is still really sucks and she has furry friends

 

@roders ... I have a Gtech vacuum, and small machine for the stairs, and they are lightweight and efficient. Also have a Gtech mower, hedge cutter and strimmer. These tools have made my life a lot easier. Getting extra bits and pieces for them is very easy from the Gtech shop online.
Can`t recommend them enough.

 

Having tried them out when shopping for a new cleaner I wasn't impressed. Some of them have the motor/battery at the top end of the handle and the weight of it made my wrist ache. I had the same problem with the swivelling base, it put too much strain on my wrist. There are very few upright cleaners available now particularly with a fixed base. I bought a Sebo online.

 

Another vote for the Gtech. I was sceptical about a battery powered vac, but it is surprisingly good. Very lightweight and one charge seems to last for several sessions. It’s never going to lift the carpet, but it doesn’t seem to leave anything behind. Can’t speak for the Dyson equivalent, but it does look a bit unwieldy.

 

Did you mean the Dyson cleaners @Sheal ?

 

I have never used the Dyson cordless . But two people I know swear by them. The cordless range costs a large chunk of money you need to find someone who actually uses one for a review. As Sheal said if they are top heavy with the battery , it could be tiring . Would be interesting for a Dyson V Gtech report as well

 

All of them @Tetters. I didn't find any of them comfortable to handle.

 

This is the combination I bought. I went to the Gtech site to buy it. The main cleaner weighs about three and a half kg, and it`s lighter to handle. The separate 'multi task' sorts out the stairs and the car with ease. The main vacuum has a light on the front to see in dark corners, and it cleans well up to the skirting board.
Being small, it needs emptying quite often - but that is so easy and quick. There are no bags to buy, and the filter is simple to remove for washing purposes. There was a spare filter, so no need to wait until the washed one dries.

Dyson all the way @roders nothing beats the turbo charge and easier to keep the parts clean without having to faf around with paper bags

I think the EU has something to do with companies who manufacture hoovers now not building the uprights due to the decibel levels on our hearing if the Daily Wail is to be believed or so o read last year so gradually the uprights are being phased out in favour of these hand held ones.

By the way we have this one and we also got a nice bag of tools included in the price and am sure that you also get a long guarantee on parts that break down as long as you keep the receipt as they will ask you at customer services what date you bought the machine if you need to ring up any time
