Personally I'd go for Miele or Sebo they have s better track record. I believe AEG are made in China | ||

I like the look of the AEG vacs too but someone on here (UK member) had one a long time ago and complained that the floor heads aren't well made. Also the grid inside the bag chamber over the bag for insulation is liable to snap. Its a real shame though because I trialled one in John Lewis a few years ago and they're super quiet - quieter than Miele.
AEG may have improved though. I love the Ultra One mini vac - great space efficient design. Also bags for the AEG are difficult to get - apparently. Id hold out for the SEBO E Airbelt though - it has a bigger dust bag capacity and looks to be quite good. Failing that, a Miele S6 or S8. Hotpoint Trolley vacs are good though. | ||

I do like Dyson uprights but I'm not so convinced by their cylinder cleaners. | ||

Well, since you don't appear to give an indication of how "old" the report is that suggests Electrolux is poor, Which in 2012 and 2013 rated SEBO number 1 for uprights, Miele number 1 for cylinders and Dyson 'below average" for reliability. I don't remember seeing AEG being listed primarily because the company in the UK have yet to sell as many vacuums compared to longer standing brands.

I know their power nozzle was very unreliable. John Lewis don't stock that model now. Or it may have been discontinued . | ||

Marcus - the power nozzle model in the UK was short lived. I think at the time AEG were either about to get the Nimble upright under their own name - and possibly didn't want to steal sales or interest away from its uprights.
it is very confusing given that Electrolux own three different names for floorcare in the UK - budget line with Zanussi, middle line with outgoing Electrolux name (since 2014 Electrolux will no longer apply their name to vacuums) from catalogue stock and AEG reserved for the premium end of the market. Previously John Lewis also had an Electrolux bagged HiLight upright vacuum under their JL name. | ||

Well Sebo Fan if they were so unreliable people would turn away from them in their droves. But they have many loyal customers so that must tell you something OK not as reliable as Sebo but they have a huge fan base. | ||

I've been using gn bags in the 250 to extend the life of each bag. I have 4 dogs so they fill quickly! Hence mentioning aeg or dyson bagless to save consumable costs, and perhaps bag odours too. | ||

I totally agree with you there. Didn't like the K series. I liked the D series but too big n bulky for my home. I'm very much looking forward to the E series :-) | ||

Well if you have pets and that many dogs, get a bagless. Or Numatic's Henry Hound.
Numatic also score number one for reliability according to Which. I will say this about Dyson - they are popular because of their constant selling approaches AND because SOME of their vacs are excellent - however the high price doesn't always justify excellent design - and that's the main difference between DYSON and a lot of the other premium brands. AEG's bag capacity is around 5 litres, so you're not winning on that much extra capacity over the Miele. However - your S250 has a smaller bag chamber - so even using the GN bag may not be filling it up completely. Bag chambers in both the S2, S5 and S8 are larger for the dust bags. | ||

That's the one thing I don't like about bagged machines the smell specially as you have 4 dogs. Maybe a bagless would be a good idea. Does it have to be a cylinder cleaner? | ||

They are overpriced that is the one thing that annoys me about Dyson. £250 to £280 should be the maximum price of their machines | ||

When you think you can buy a Vax with NLOS which admittedly you'd end up having to wash the filters all the time PLUS have a 6 year guarantee slapped on it, there's a lot to be said for buying cheap.
However, if I owned that many pets I'd probably have two vacuums - one with a large dust bag capacity such as the Numatic option (or even a SEBO D2) and a bagless for every day hair removal. But with owning dogs (and having had to put up with the ones my relatives bring when they visit and stay for months at a time) I also do a lot of steam cleaning to neutralise areas, especially carpet. Once the carpet has dried out, the amount of pet odour is LOWER than relying on dry dirt suction all of the time. | ||

Yes a bissell carpet cleaner is a good investment. I clean my carpets 2 to 3 times a year.Steaming is also an option to freshen them up as you say. And a henry is a good recommendation as very low running costs. | ||
