PerranOak:
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.

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:

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.
