I fancy a decent hand held vacuum for doing the carpeted stairs here - but it must be as powerful as my existing Panasonic upright when using the hose. Purely for convenience - lugging the Panasonic around on the stairs is a pain.
I've seen the Dysons - but I'd be quite happy with a mains one since I have plenty sockets. And it's a big big price for such a basic device.
Any recommendations?
