I need a vacuum cleaner. I don't understand these uprights, I am used to a Miele lump you drag around. What should I get? Is there a Tester Approves House Hold Appliance thread??
My mum swears by the slightly older Mieles. They were higher power. Apparently vacuum cleaner power has fairly recently been capped by EU regs and the new ones (whatever make) aren't all that good, so you gotta try to source one from a couple of years ago if you want to actually pick up dirt.
This is bollocks. Dyson have never produced a vacuum cleaner above the new EU limit (@1600 watts), yet consistently get excellent reviews and work well. There's a huge amount more to how well a vacuum cleaner performs than the amount of power it draws.
