I need one that will do both carpet and laminate. Preferably bagless.
Due to the boring nature of this item I would like to spend as little as possible. Any suggestions?
The carpet says no.
Gtech cordless....just got one, almost fun doing the hoovering now, almost!
Jesse the Roomba has changed my life.
Shark!
Those Gtech things are over $1k here in canada: I don't think that quite fits into the "spend as little as possible" category 😁
Sebo - yes it has a bag, but it works and no Dyson tax.
Miele. Cheaper than a Dyson but more reliable IME and cleans better. Uses bags but they last for ages.
Having just had to find a decent vac for work (shop showroom with carpet tiles and llots of muddy farmers' footwear to contend wiith) i can heartily recommend anything by Vax. Less than a hundred quid, does carpets and hard floors well. Bagless, long cord, excellent crevice tool matron.
Dyson for the show
Sebo for the pro.
Sebo upright. The bag comes with a little cap to stop the dust getting out when you change it. They're really good at cleaning all surfaces (head adjusts automagically). Bag takes weeks to fill and is reassuringly heavy when the warning light tells you to change it.
And they're used in hotels, or at least the Marriot Garden I stayed in in Henderson, NV.
When my dyson packed in fter about 10yrs+ I got a cheap Vax on offer in Argos. Does the job but the Brush bar packed in after 18mths, Argos gave me a replacement Vax no questions asked as it had a 2yr guarantee, so might be a case of buy cheap buy twice.
Shark are the new best vacuum cleaner.
Miele. Cheaper than a Dyson but more reliable IME and cleans better. Uses bags but they last for ages.

Sebo look good but have never owned one.
<b>Its</b> got a bag, but I'd still recommend a Henry.
Cheap, robust, easily available bits. A bag lasts several months in our house and takes a similar amount of time to empty as a bag Less vacume
I've found Dysons to be very unreliable, mother had a few and now ours has died wife has bought another for god knows why, probably because they look nice. Ours is one of those cordless ones so you add terrible battery life to usual complaints, just does the, very small, hall and stairs on one charge.
Have found Kirby and Henry to be the most reliable but neither are bagless and Kirby aren't cheap.
My Dyson has been super reliable, but it’s rubbish. It works fine on carpets but is epically crap on laminate floors. I’d like to try a shark.
I inherited a Sebo from my Dad, it's now in the garage... My Shark is much better.
Shark! Mrs ws made me but it. I wasn't happy. She's now happy, therefore I'm happy.
i can heartily recommend anything by Vax.
a down side with VAX is they seem to have a lot models (particularly their uprights) that do pretty much the same thing in the same way but are mechanically all very different - seemingly very few shared consumables - tracking down the right spares (simple stuff like a belt or beater bar) can be a bind and stock availability/ delivery times can be poor too.
An upside compared to similar Dyson's though is they are very light.
Henry vacuum cleaners are cheap and indestructible, but aren't without their problems...
Shark here. Picked up lots the s****y Dyson missed. Cheap too.
All of my family bought Dysons. We bought a Miele. They all now own Miele. Great products. Bags are easy to find, last, and seal your dead skin cells away when disposed.
Aftercare service is second to none. They have a return to base system that restores to as new for a fixed price.
Sebo.
Sebo for performance but they fail on the 'cheap' criterion.
It's ok, so does everything mentioned in the thread so far 😂
