I dont know about any good deals out there but for your own sake dont buy one of those bagless ones, of course thats my opinion but every time I use it I regret buying it.
Thanks for the replies.
Rose - we have one with a permanent bag at the moment & it worked well for us - might get another.
Allthedoyles - I'll check out your thread today.
I spotted a 50% off sign on that electrical shop on Parnell Square- and I'm nearly certain it referred to Hoovers as well.
No sure if you're in Dublin or not but might be worth checking if you are.
