Hi Jacky,With a bad back, I'd say the Dyson's out for you. They're pretty heavy to shove around unless, of course, your other half would be doing the vacuuming. I don't know about not being as good as they're cracked up to be; I haven't had any problems with mine and they do seem to pick up what others leave behind but I can't use it for very long because of the back too. If you're thinking of buying one, I'd go to a shop and try pushing one around and see what you think.
Cheers,Sandra.
