Looking for a lightweight vacuum cleaner

[staris]

another vote for a meile one here not to heavy and very robust, the oh is very hard on vacum cleaners and can wear a normal one out in less than a year  ;D

been to asda today, they had a bissell easyvac for 25.00 so I've bought one of those, bagless with a hepa filter , very light to use so I'm sorted, just need to find out what to do with the big one, now..it's only 9 months old  :)

Thought it was only me that had a problem with lugging the big cleaner upstairs, but have the answer Meile one upstairs and big one downstairs, that is if you have a house, not a flat.  Sorry to say that I still don't hoover that often, too hot, or have to go to the allotment etc. etc.  Did a lot of cleaning when thought we had visitors but they cancelled, so left the housework and did some digging.  Used to laugh at my mother when she was over 80 as when I went to visit had to carry the hoover upstairs and open the lemonade bottle.  Not so funny now, as I can't open some bottles unless I stick them in the door and spoil the paintwork and get told off by OH and also the thought of carrying that hoover upstairs puts me off the whole idea.  Actually it is raining so may do some hoovering but thinking about bringing my green (hot red peppers) inside as don't know if they will rippen.  Another topic to ask questions on.
