I have a web subscription. Report dated 19 Oct 2007.

"We rarely find an upright vacuum cleaner that's good at every task but performance of some models is so disappointing we'd recommend all Which? readers give them a miss."

I don't want to post the whole report up, that'd be a bit of a copyright violation.

But...but....you were talking about a Henry...which is NOT an upright!

Miele. Their cheap ones are almost as good as their very expensive ones...

Since when have Miele done cheap anything?

Which are the best 3 cylinder choices? ;)

I think Kawasaki is the ONLY choice.

Typical misleading, incorrect "Which?" crap.

Our Sebo X1 beats the pants off any cylinder vacuum I've ever used.

That's a bloody good point - and it really *is* what they said!

Augusto, it says this:

I'm really *not* prepared to break the law for you lot.

There's always

"30 day trial offer: Try Which? to access all our reports, guides and interactive features - just £1.00 for 30 days"

That's what I did, then forgot to cancel the darnn thing in time!

If you hunt around a bit, you can get them for about =A3180 IIRC.

...but still can't spell vacuum.

Avoid the cylinder vacs. Look at commercial vacuums. In the U.S., Eureka, Hoover, and Panasonic make commercial vacuums, but you won't find them at your local discount department store.

Eureka model C5712A is one good one, see "

".Above all, don't buy vacuum cleaners based on how much current the motor draws, which seems to be a popular way that consumers choose (more has to be better, right?).

Ironically, now the commercial machines seem to be less expensive than the fancy consumer machines, but the commercial units clean just as well, and last far longer.
