It's time to get a new vacuum cleaner (if you're watching in America: Hoover). Given that I do help with this from time-to-time, I reckon it's up to me which one we get. I fancy one of those cordless ones but which one? Any recommendations? |

I have a Dyson cordless vacuum that works really well, normally they're crazy expensive but I bought a refurbished one for about half the normal retail price and it has worked well. It's not as good as a proper mains powered vacuum but it's very convenient for cleaning up small spills, vacuuming the stairs and general "maintenance" cleaning between vacuuming the whole house with the big upright one. |

After diddling around with Dyson and other stuff, this one's the right one for me: Siemens VSQ5X1230. It's not cordless. It still has a bag. It's not cheap. BUT: It's incredibly silent. I can vacuum in the night without neighbours calling the police. Selling point #1 for me :) |

If price is not a fact then there are plenty of choices. But if you look for some cheap cordless vacuum cleaners which still perform well, a deik should be your pick. https://vacuumsadvisor.com/best-deik-vacuum-reviews/ Not every deik vacuum cleaners are available right now, this is a problem. |

I have been using an ordinary cheapie $50 AUD bagged vacuum cleaner with my own separator made from a bucket, PVC fittings, plywood and copious specialised vacuum sealant hot glue: https://halestrom.net/darksleep/blog/037_thienbaffle/ Visualise this as similar to a bagless vacuum cleaner but with a much larger (read: not useless/clogging) cyclonic separator. I use it for both sawdust collection and general cleaning. It takes a long time to lose suction and the bag stays almost spotless unless you stuff up (eg rotate the baffle into the wrong position). N.B. Since taking photos I have re-arranged the unit so the vacuum cleaner is now horizontal, this lets me pull it around by tugging on the hose (as you can do with most/all vaccuum cleaners). The extra height of the bucket on top doesn't cause any issues. |
