After reading a significant amount of criticism on this news group about Dyson's I am wondering whats the best comparable vacuum cleaner?
My requirements are for a bagless cylinder vacuum cleaner. What do people think is the best? With Christmas fast approaching it might be time to get that ideal house related gift!

I'm glad I'm not married to you :-)

I know you said a cylinder, but I just have to plug(!) my favourite upright:
I've never used such a beast of a vacuum cleaner. It's grrreat!
If you are thinking of giving your wife a Vacuum Cleaner for Christmas, think again. Baz.
father in law once bought mother in law an electric can opener for birthday he's never been forgiven or been allowed to forget it by the rest of us.
'tis a nightmare trying to decide what to buy other half for xmas tho.

As a matter of interest, have you tried the equivalent Dyson?
I've got a fairly old Panasonic bag type (a Which best buy) which has been fine, although noisy and with a rather short hose attached.
I have an old DC01, which has been good but is really old now. The Panasonic outperforms that significantly. I also own a newish DC05 cylinder, and the Panasonic *definitely* outperforms that. I've used a DC04 upright, which is quite similar to the Panasonic but a lot heavier.
I think Panasonic have definitely outdone Dyson in the implementation.
I was so impressed with our Panasonic I bought a second - one for upstairs, one for downstairs.
Anyone who watches Monkey Dust may have noticed the parallels between this and the whole Essex/London thing...
I'm firmly on the Henry side. I note that you can now get them with powered heads that incorporate brushes.
They work with or without bags - I use mine as a shop vac for dust extraction with powertools, so use bags and also the microtex (3 micron) filter (about £25 extra). The bags are fortunately quite cheap.
Hear hear! You can buy one of those any time. and they're buggers to wrap.

HA! She's fed him on tinned food ever since? It would serve him right :-)
That's the trouble, you poor blokes have to THINK - and sometimes even have to make a decision.
We wimmin have to do that several times a day ...
Mary
and look how far you've come !!
/marvellous/

Not if you buy a new one in its box
Yes, despite male attempts to keep us down!
Thank you :-)

Er - you still have to choose a suitable wrapping paper ... and decide whether to have ribbons on it. Can you tie bows?
Mary
It would have to white, like wedding dresses to match the other domestic appliances. :-)

Walk into department store (or QVC website). Buy most expensive thing with "Molton Brown" or "L'Occitan" on it. Buy two more less expensive things for stocking fillers. Job done.

Tell me more!

was thinking of a set of dimonique ear rings and a franklin mint figurine (not available in the shops)

I thought the latest was stainless steel. I wouldn't have ss but a designer (hey!) son would have nothing else other than but.

She'd look like a cyberman!
