    We live in an entirely carpeted house (apart from kitchenette and bathroom) and our Asda-bought hoover has packed in. Looking to buy something that can deal with carpet and dog hairs, but not looking to pay the price of a week in Spain for one either. :P Preferably bagless, definitely not upright. Upper end of the budget would probably be 100 quid.

    Miele, probably the Cat and Dog model if dog hairs are a problem, but you'd have to more than double your budget. Mind you, you'd probably never have to buy another vacuum cleaner ever again. Ours is approaching it's 30th birthday and the only things we've replaced are the bags :)

    We'd be waiting a while before we'd have that much to spend :P Dog hairs aren't really a problem as such, he sheds very little, but with the carpet its much harder to see and collect than on a wooden floor!

    you wont get a great vac for 100 e considering the retailer has a profit and it includes 23per cent vat but with a bit further spend a Henry is a much underestimated cleaner that would do the job for years , you can also get a separate brush with revolving beaters that would make small work of the dog hairs as an extra for it.

    There's a Henry on Argos for 130, I wouldn't consider that too much of a jump up for a good hoover. We spent almost 200 on a Russell Hobbs pet hoover a few years back and it packed in after 6 months and it was a nightmare to get refunded (argument was that hoovering up after my pet with a pet hoover had caused it to break :pac: ) so something that is a bit longer-lasting would be great!
