HELP!!Which Vaccum Cleaner do you recommend? (UK Models)? This is a serious question, I am looking to buy a hoover...

This is a serious question, I am looking to buy a hoover but enjoy no idea which one to budge for, only have need of upright regular not floor washer, which one do you hold or reccomend?
Answers:    I tried the dyson and hated it - its robust and cumbersome and doesn't fit under chairs etc.

My predilection is a Panasonic upright - I've have several over the years and always dance back to it as I estimate its the best. Cleans right up to the edge, is lightweight and fits below chairs etc. the bag is unforced to replace and the machine costs a third of the price of a Dyson.

My trusty Panasonic have seen us through several house renovations and coped beside all the dust and mess minus ever breaking down. So as far as I'm concerned its a clear winner.

And no, I don't work for Panasonic!
dyson.. they are expensive but they second and they are really powerfull
