Can you recommend a vacuum cleaner?

Hugely glam topic, but our vacuum needs replacing.

I'd ideally like on of those cordless stick vacuum cleaners but have heard they aren't enough as your only cleaner.

We have 2 cats, so it needs to be able to deal with pet hair along with the usual family debris.

Thoughts and recommendations gratefully received.

we have a vac that also carpet cleans. Had it around ten years. Brilliant. Never gone wrong!

Anything by Miele - best brand by miles.

We have the Miele Cat and Dog one. Love it.

I've been through all types of vacuum cleaners over the years, including two Dysons and a Miele, but by far the best cleaner I've ever used is also the cheapest - I bought a Hoover Hurricane HS2200 for ?35 from Amazon last year and it's brilliant. I thought it looked quite cheap and flimsy when it arrived, but it's proved to be as robust as any other I've had, is very very light, and also has incredibly strong suction. It copes with cat hair far better than any other cleaner I've had/

We've got a Miele, it's very good. We also have a handheld Dyson which is handy for vacuuming kids crumbs and the stairs.

I will personally recommend Miele S8320 Cat & Dog Premium Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner, Mango Red. Hoovers brand are also good and can pack a punch when I comes to suction. The choice is yours, Miele brands are pricey, on the other hand Hoover brands are affordable.
