Romeo Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 This definitely needs a thread of its own. Mrs Romeo wants a cordless hoover. Preferably one that converts into a smaller handheld if needed. Any recommendations? Preferably one that doesn't cost 2 grand or something. Pictures and links appreciated.

Shandon Par Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Stucking stuff? Sucking stuff? This thing is pretty decent. Never wanted to ask what it cost though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have wooden floors so it doesn't have to be mega powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have a big hoover tucked away but only need to use it once in a blue moon for stuff that would mess/clog the hand held thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy85 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Genuinely furious that you’ve brought this shite to P&B. I hope whatever piece of crap you end up with has dodgy wiring and burns your house down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB 4.2 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I was stuck in a traffic jam on the A720 the other week. 90 min delay. Meant I was late home and had no time for the vacuuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Ma Bam has had the same vacuum cleaner that she bought in 1975. And it still works pretty well. Make is Nilfisk. They've probably gone bust now after making machines that last for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hoovering isn't my department. If you need an iron though, I'm your man. Did it tonight watching the Brighton game. I've got one of the ones with the separate tank. You get a better steam and finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Near nearly choked to death in a terrible vacuuming accident once. Best not to scrimp on the equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Anything by vax from Argos will be fine. (They might have slightly copied the same sort of gear from that other chap mentioned earlier). Or go gtech as the MIL did. Why? I dunno but it’s on daytime tv, costs hunners and she seems delighted with it. Result? Argos is your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first Dyson we got was brilliant, the second not so good and the third (and current) one is flimsy compared to the first. Don't know if its a weight saving thing because lassies were complaining about the weight of them or if its down to poor/cheap manufacturing. As the main Dysoner I really don't like them anymore. 8 hours ago, Sergeant Wilson said: Hoovering isn't my department. If you need an iron though, I'm your man.

The missus used to do the day to day stuff but we just go scruffy now, I've always been the 'sunday best' ironer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I would (and have when I had to fend for myself) wear wrinkled gear if you fold it when you take it off the line/clothes horse then its not an issue, or so I've been told. Body heat is your friend as well, iron while wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
