Thanks for all the replies, arrived safely at Whitehall Farm CS near Caerleon, and it's not to buy a vacuum but to attend the funeral of my brother's FIL today, then a few days walking/exploring.
I have a Dyson V10 (having had 2 Dyson uprights and Dyson cylinder in the past) and I love it. Easy and light to use, powerful if you need it to be, and for me the battery lasts plenty long enough.
The trouble with Dysons is that you need to remortgage to buy one. I have a Vax main vacuum cleaner which is light and does a very good job. I have had it years and can't now remember what I paid but nowhere near what a Dyson cost at the time.
More recently I have bought a Morphy Richards rechargeable stick vacuum which looks very similar to the Dyson V10 but slightly less bulky and cost me around £80. It does such a good job that I rarely use the main vacuum cleaner now. Why pay £400-£500 for a Dyson?
We have 2 dogs that shed hair so we needed something decent to clean the carpets.Our first choice a Dyson couldn't believe how good it was.10 years down the line it died,so we replaced it with another Dyson.This has recently died same old thing the motor.This has now been replaced with a G tech air ram I pushed for another Dyson but was overruled by the finance officer who wanted something different.I hate it forever emptying it hair of the dogs and always making sure It's charged,when the bin is fullish it drops dust over the carpet you cant vac the stairs with it.Would I buy another I don't think so.

It depends what you mean when you say "the battery lasts plenty long enough".
I think it will probably last just past the warranty.
Never had a problem with any of my Dysons (they were not replaced because there was anything wrong with them) - Dyson even sent me a replacement part free of charge when I broke a bit ... after the warranty had expired. Each to their own - the world would be a very boring place if we all liked the same stuff
