Hi Jackie Wonder how they cope with upstairs like on the landing. I can just imagine machine falling down the stairs! I believe you can get lawn mowers that work in a similar way. But the crux of issue is, can a blind person easily setup The machines.

Hi Derek Yes, and you can even time it to start hoovering for you. I don't know how accessible they are though for setting up. Not sure the dog would care for it wandering around on its own, but the thought of Bumble and a stray hoover is rather amusing! (smile).

Nobody admits to having the best vacuum cleaner! I read there is one that you have sensors Around the house. And the machine can just get on with the Job all on its own.

We have a Miele cylinder which works well, is reliable, and reasonably quiet. We also have a cordless Dyson which picks up well too.

I have both a Henry and Dyson. Whereas the spare parts for the Dyson don't cost anything, they fail more frequently than the Henry which gets more use as it is down stairs, and the Dyson upstairs. The reason being that the Henry seems to pick up dog hair better than the Dyson.

Hello Everyone. Please forgive the slightly unusual nature of this post. As i have had 2 zanussi vacuum cleaners blow up over the last few months, i've gone right off the brand, who insidentally are also part of alectrolux and AEG. in both cases, the motors failed and caused sparks to eminate from the cleaner. so i'm on the hunt for a new upright cleaner, preferably that's easy to push and not too heavy, and if possible not too expensive. people in my family have owned dysons, but say that the parts are expensive and its just too much to pay for a vacuum cleaner, especially these days when nothing seems to last. does anyone have any thoughts on which brands have lasted them in terms of long term reliability? this is a medium sized house so it'd be used quite frequently. any help greatly appreciated. all the best, Mo. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
