yeah how comes some don't think about the hassle factor of mains.

I don't think it's a case of not thinking about the hassle factor, just
about different priorities. We live different lives, in different
houses, and a decent cordless vac is expensive and does have it's
limitations. Some people won't view it as something they think is
worthwhile. Fair enough.

Just like sometimes I'd rather like a good cordless SDS, but they are
expensive, and really, I'd not use one that often, so I put up with
extensions leads up the ladder etc.


- eg with have a steepish back stairs, hoovering with the mains one is
a faff, - I can't stand the hoover on the stairs,

I can't stand my dyson on my front stairs or back.


I can stand our Miele cylinder on the main stairs, but I don't suppose
an upright would.
