The vacuum cleaner used by most of the top housekeepers in top hotels are
either Kaarcher or Numatic.
Henry is a great one.... but has a bag!
Fo reliability, performance nd price... that's the one I use

I've recently moved house into a place with hard timber floors. It's a big
difference from my previous sprawling shag-pile covered place which had
compelled me to splash out on a new Dyson.

Problem is, in the new environment, I just don't need it. It was a
fantastic cleaner and picks up so much dirt and dust (and carpet fluff!),
but it scuffs my new floors when I'm not careful and seems like overkill
given the task at hand. Accordingly, I'm planning on giving it to my
mother (it'll stop her from coming round to borrow it once a month) and
downgrading to something more suited to the task at hand.

Can anyone recommend a decent mid-range vacuum cleaner? Only provisos are
that it should be bagless (I'm a convert) and have decent performance on &
not scuff, hard timber floors. All suggestions appreciated.
