Hi everyone,
I`m after a decent vacuum cleaner.  Bagless would be nice but not essential, 
more important would be getting lots of dog hairs out of carpet, and a good 
filter to keep as much dust out of the air as possible.  Idealy budget would 
be under 150, but could stretch a bit further if it made a big difference.

Not keen on a Dyson because of their appauling reputation for quality.

Thanks!

When this question has been asked previously the recommendations have been 
for the Miele Cat and Dag, the Henry, and even Dyson.

I have no experience with any of these but am very pleased with our Bissell 
upright (but converts to a cylinder) bagless Lift-Off which you can buy new 
or reconditioned from 
https://www.bissell-secure.co.uk/bissell/shop/catalogView0.jsp  It 
definitely gets cat and dog hair out of our carpets, has a Hepa filter, and 
is well within your budget.

Should have been Miele Cat and Dog!

I would say avoid Dyson.

Currys.co.uk have the Henry for 79(?)

Ah, so not a special model for the Aussie market after all. Could have gone 
down well in Wales.

I agree that the Miele Cat and Dog is fantastic.  We have a dog and it's the 
best vacuum cleaner I've used (tried different Dyson models, Henry, Vax, 
etc).

 I have 8 dogs and 20 cats so plenty of hair about. I swear by my henry
which I use without a bag and for which I bought a turbo head attachment. My
present henry is around14 years old, used daily and still sucks like a 30
whore.
 The last bit is rude but it's what a friend said of my henry when he
borrowed it lol.
