Choosing a vacuum cleaner that's easy to use
(view report contents)
Introduction
This report was first published in July 1997 and updated in 2000. Since that time many of the cleaners that were assessed have been upgraded or are no longer being produced. So our Buying Guide is based on models still on the market. We are currently testing more vacuum cleaners, so watch this space.
See our what to look for ideas if you are buying a machine not in this guide. We also suggest that you try out any machine you are thinking of buying in the shop. For a quick checklist of important points to look out for click here. If you have poor or painful grip click go to the Buying Guide for more information.
