    Are g-tech/dyson/shark what they seem on the telly?
    Do they give the requisite suction power and flexibility to justify the outlay?
    TIA

    No complaints at all about G-Tec, both hand held and upright rechargeable.

    There are some robotic ones, but the £800 one I saw a video (which I now can't find) is way out of my price range.

    We’ve got a cordless Dyson dc10, it’s not bad and you can pretty much do the whole house on 1 charge but they’re a pain in the backside to empty and you need to empty it on a regular basis

    One of my age old problems has been the our conventional vacuums have been particularly poor at hoovering the car using the appropriate extensions - I am imagining the detachable bits to the cordless vacuums could be the answe but it’s a big outlay if they flatter to deceive.

    I would never buy anything Dyson related on principle.

    We've a Miele, had it a few years and by far the best vacuum we've had.

    Hand held G-Tec is good in the car.

    Me neither. That fanzine he did was sh*te.

    *Edit* I see Julian Broddle beat me to it.

    Brexit supporting Dyson...create more jobs in the UK...then declares he's building a factory in Singapore. Nice.

    That Dyson guy needs to take himself out of his own ads, that is my stance on vacuums.
