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.



A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be
confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

Good morning, " said the young man. "If I could take a couple of
minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in
high-powered vacuum cleaners. "

"Go away!" said the old lady. "I haven't got any money!" and she
proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed
wide open. "Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least
seen my demonstration." And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse
manure onto her hallway carpet.

"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse
manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well I hope you've got a darn
good appetite, because they cut off my electricity this morning."


Apart from that...
