Dyson Animal vs Miele Cat & Dog

The Dyson Animal vs the Miele Cat & Dog is a debate we cover often on Forever Better and once again another community member is looking for recommendations on which one to buy.

Hugo Brambles over at the Hitched Forum is looking at the Dyson DC20 and wants to know if they’re “worth the money”. Oh Zippy immediately recommends the Cat & Dog, while former Animal owner Portia comments “you need to be a weightlifter to carry [the Dyson] up and down stairs, it’s so heavy.” However, although she’s now a Cat & Dog owner the cost of replacement bags has been a disappointment and “…with hindsight, prefers it to the Miele, from a cost perspective if nothing else.” Hugo Brambles “would love the Miele as I’ve heard good things”, but since he requires a bagless cleaner has had to rule the Miele out unfortunately.

Is there another vacuum you would recommend to Hugo? Preferably lightweight. Jump over to the forum and have your say.
