I have recently bought a VC8932 and although it's a tad bizarre to wax so lyrical about a vacuum cleaner, I am thrilled to bits with it.

It's small, and fairly lightweight, and manoevers easily. There are lots of gadgets and attachments. The suction is great too. The only downside is that because of it's size, the bags are small and replacements do not seem to be widely available. However, to counteract that, there is an attachment which collects all the bigger bits of fluff. This attachment is removable and washable so the bag fills up very slowly.
I think it's being discontinued which means you can now get them at about a third of the original price - £70 very well spent!
