Hi Guys,
Don't know so much about vacs I'm afraid, more of a washer guy, so not really sure what my best option is here.
My Grandad has Dirt Devil Bagless cylinder thing which clogs at the drop of a hat and barely picks anything up, so I want to get him a new vacuum for Christmas.
Now, his house has a combination of extremely deep pile and difficult to clean carpets, shorter pile carpets, and hard floors, so it needs to be able to effectively vacuum all floor surfaces.
He also has a dog who leaves hair everywhere, especially on the deep pile living room carpet and this is extremely hard to remove.
He's 74, so it needs to be light, manouverable and easy to use.
It will be a joint present with my Mum, so my buget is up to £180.
I'd love to get him a DC24, but I think that would be difficult with my budget.
So for this price, which machine would clean the deep pile carpets the best, whilst still being practical with the limitations mentioned above?
Bagged or bagless is fine, and I'm open to either uprights or cylinders.
Any help is much appreciated!
Matt
