We need a new hand held vacuum cleaner. What do you recommend? If you've got a Vax H90-GA-B Gator, what do you think of it? Reply to this message | Report message

A few weeks ago I got a mint, boxed and with all original accessories, bill and guarantee Black and Decker for 4 euros. It works a treat. Reply to this message | Report message

We (She!) has an ancient "Dirt Devil" with a bag, for the stairs and other various dust hidey-holes, nice size to use and very sucky for it's size!. Reply to this message | Report message

We have a dustbuster pivot 12v, works well and is bagless but like most of these things only runs for about ten minutes on a charge. Some Dustbuster models are pretty much useless imo, took one back because it did such a terrible job. Reply to this message | Report message

Aren't all vacuum cleaners hand-held, apart from ride-ons of course? Reply to this message | Report message

Its certainly expensive, but after 3 years of cleaning up spills and stuff its working out as a good deal. Reply to this message | Report message

This is good for getting in the nooks and crannies, the brush on the wide attachment is handy for removing dust from vents etc in the car. I bought the 1200, lasts between 10 and 15 minutes when fully charged. www.amazon.co.uk/BLACK-DECKER-PD1200-Dustbuster-Flexi/dp/B002JJ3584 Reply to this message | Report message

We have a little Dirt Devil......red in colour. A friend was hoofing it 'cos the zip on the bag had broken. A few safety pins and the job was good. Now resides in the caravan so my princess doesn't get out of practice on holiday. Ted Reply to this message | Report message

We have one of those Black & Decker Dustbuster things in the kitchen. It's good for dry bits and pieces you might spill or for a quick clean-up in the car. It's quite noisy presumably because the motor is fairly small but not anywhere near as noisy as the earache I get if I make a mess in the kitchen and don't use it...

We have a plain burgundy carpet in the dining room. Shows all the bits and crumbs. The Vax was getting too heavy for the ole girl so we bought a rechargeable GTech sweeper from John Lewis. Does it's job admirably well with just a deeper clean now and again. The long handle comes off so you can do the stairs. Was on offer at abot 50 notes. Ted Reply to this message | Report message

We've got a plain burgundy carpet in the lounge, up the stairs AND in the 3 bedrooms - absolutely the worst colour (looks nice though) for showing all the bits, dog hairs, crumbs etc. etc. gimme a nice beige carpet any day! Reply to this message | Report message

We have a plain pale aqua sort of colour on the stairs........bought and fitted when I was in hospital. I now live in a world of terror ! Imagine just one mistake with me big dirty work shoes ! Even after a session with the old Cherry Blossom, I daren't go upstairs. No way to live, feared of a 5'2" woman ! Ted Reply to this message | Report message

>>No way to live, feared of a 5'2" woman ! My pet dragon is also 5'2" :) At the other gaff, we had laminate in every vroom apart from the lounge, no stairs either as it was a bung a low. I'll never forget the bliss of living in a studio apartment in Tenerife for 3 months - on my own! I used to leave the patio doors open 24/7 (perfect climate) you could use a shovel to shift the dust on the floor (volcanic, see) after one week. The cleaners used to leave it spotless for me once a week, with the sun blinds & curtains pulled over but, when I came in I would pull back the lot, and open the patio doors for another week. :} Reply to this message | Report message

7.4V Li-Ion Rechargeable Handheld Wet + Dry Vacuum Cleaner www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/SID-F5D9B2A0-5A3FACC0/www_lidl_uk/hs.xsl/our-offers-2491.htm?action=showDetail&id=5294 It's a pity they don't do the lervia one that I bought several years ago from LIDL any more (www.kompernass.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=97 ). A replacement battery was easily sourced, it has one of those 6 volt sealed lead acid type. Reply to this message | Report message
