Dyson has launched a new cylinder vacuum cleaner that, as you can see, will fit in the palm of your hand. It is ideal for those not wishing to take up valuable storage space with a bulky vacuum cleaner, yet still want an effective vacuum cleaner.

Dyson are also offering a 5 year warranty on this model, which should allay fears over its reliability. Compare prices of the Dyson City

Changing a bag regularly improves suctionLook around your house and see what your vacuum cleaner needs are. Do you have carpets,, rugs, hard floors? What about awkward and heavy furniture? Are dogs or cats constantly in and out of your home? What about stairs, do you need a light vacuum cleaner or one that is more heavy duty?

There are a surprisingly large number of factors to consider that will determine which vacuum cleaner is best for you. Also, you shouldn't overlook running costs. Vacuum bags typically cost around £0.80 each and have a very short life in terms of vacuum efficiency - so perhaps a Bagless Vacuum Cleaner is a better option?

Secondly, particularly asmtha suffers, look for HEPA filtered cleaners and again you can buy vacuums with lifetime HEPA filters that don't need replacing.

The main things to consider are:
  • Budget
  • User reviews
  • Reliability of brand & Best Buy (source Which?)
  • Suction efficiency - the more effective, the easier to use
  • Upright or cylinder cleaner - this depends on your needs and practicalities
  • Will it fit your cupboard or does it look good left in the lounge. LOL
We need reviews on the following vacuum cleaners. Do you know someone who has one of these?
