Question

Guys I’m looking for a cordless hoover. I have carpet in everyroom. I also have a baby that loves to throw his food over the high chair. I keep deciding then chancing my mind. I need something light and quick as I have back problems. I know this question is asked a lot. But I’ve been looking at sharks, vac and dyson. Are there any other brands which I’m missing that I should look at? Any advice and help would be recommended. I have a budget of £250 but could stretch to £350 if needed.  

Answer 1

Shark definitely and have a look for discount codes. Mrs Hinch has a shark code I think

Answer 2

Swan do some brilliant cordless hoovers

Answer 3

It isn’t cordless but the shark liftaway is amazing! You can take it away from the hoover stand & the cord is massive (I can do everywhere in my house with it) It’s only £179. 99 in Argos with 5 years guarantee x

Answer 4

Miele are excellent. Not sure if they do cordless

Answer 5

Dyson v6 or v8

Answer 6

Just be aware Cordless is not ideal if you have back problems as the batteries are heavy. I bought an 80 quid corded vax and its been the best thing ever. So light. I have stenosis and chronic back pain cant stand for more than a few minutes and have no issues with this.  

Answer 7

The shark cordless duo clean double battery is Brill. I have carpets and hard floors, a toddler that makes a mess daily and a bad back and I find it so easy x

@interoffice definitely agree with you on this shark lift away . bought mine 2 months ago and love it, is also so light as have a bad shoulder and not heavy at all . Fab with having 2 cats as hoover several times a day . And good that do payment plan if cannot afford it all at once  

Answer 8

The only one I tried needed you to hold the switch down to get it to work. If you have arthritis in your fingers that is not easy.  

Answer 9

G tech its light easy to clean and cordless

Answer 10

Pop a shower curtain under high chair

Comments

@plio566 I’ve tried this. He’s got a very good throw

@leonoraleonore9 i used to take the high chair outside for same reason (he’s 20 now)  

Answer 11

Paid 350 on a shark n still prefer my dyson ‍♀️

Answer 12

Yes a shower curtain under the high chair saved your carpets & can be shook out into the sink & out in washing machine. No Hoover advice tho sorry but I’ve got a shark lift away & love it!  

Answer 13

The shark cordless is fantastic hun better than any of the others I looked at x

Answer 14

Either the dyson v7 or gtech  

Answer 15

I have back problems too and the shark corded liftaway works great for me and is lighter as u dont carry a heavy battery when its disconnected! X

Answer 16

Definatly shark .  

Answer 17

Sorry as its corded but shark lift away. It has great suction and easy to change to different attachments and not hard work on your back as long as the settings are changed on the base for the type of carpet

Answer 18

We have a dyson cordless and its brilliant wish I'd bought it years ago x

Answer 19

I’ve just moved from a dyson cordless to a corded Shrek lift away it’s amazing sooo much better & it’s her held together stairs xx

Answer 20

I have had two shark liftaways and I hate it with a passion, and they are very heavy even the ant hair wrap doesn’t work personally wouldn’t buy another.  

Answer 21

I have back problems and use a hetty. Lovely long cord and easy to reach ceiling too for cobwebs. I've got a mini zoo so lots of animal hair although I swear me and my daughter moult more. Atleast the hetty doesnt have the spinning bar thing that our hair gets wrapped around and no messing about pulling it apart to clean this and that. A good thing for the baby food would be a dog lol

Answer 22

Ive had 3 G techs and they are really light and suction is brilliant, the upright one is amazing but i dont rate the handheld one x

Answer 23

Vax blade max there are two very hairy dogs in the house and it copes very well although it's hard floors and rugs not all carpet but very impressed with it

Answer 24

I also have back problems, recently had surgery on a herniated disc and I love my Shark liftaway (corded) it’s so easy to push around and it’s that powerful it kinda pulls you along with it. I also have a Vax Blade which is ok for hard floors but not great on carpets. I can use the blade, then go over the same place with t Shark and it lifts so much more dirt.  

Answer 25

Dyson do an eBay refurbished by dyson page. I bought a v6 a bit over a year ago, it’s great! Also had 12 month guarantee

Answer 26

Hate my dyson v6. Worst thing i ever bought. Would never buying another.  

Answer 27

Definitely shark

Answer 28

I have back problems and have bought the corded Shark duo clean flexology. It is amazing for cleaning all types of flooring ( I have laminate, vinyl and carpet! ) and best of all bends in the middle to clean under sofas etc so I dont need to bend !  

Answer 29

Shark defo they are fabulous, x

Answer 30

We were planning on spending £300ish. But we were sold on the dyson v11 and haven’t regretted it. This is how much dust/hair etc came off just my one sofa (id hoovered it 2 days before too)

Answer 31

We have the Shark duo its cordless its Brill for the stairs but the rest of the house we use a Shark lift away. We had Dysons for years but would not go back, Sharks are loads better.
