Vacuum cleaner recommendations (Europe)
Here we have a very old (likely bought in 2001) Miele vacuum cleaner that my mother has been insisting on continuing to use. Last week I had a full blown meltdown during cleaning time because I've been mulling the idea of purchasing a new vacuum cleaner for almost a year and she kept ignoring this request for an accommodations.
Cleaning with the current one has been giving me so many issues with auditory sensory overloads (even with Loop earplugs I always wear), back pains, plus this vacuum has been breaking down with the cord winding mechanism always pulling back requiring to stop the cord with clothespins and the slot where the small brush is stored doesn't close properly. We also got a pet rabbit recently (quite reluctantly, considering it's a high maintenance pet) and this adds a lot of time to cleaning.
Any recommendation for a particularly silent cordless vacuum cleaner that's easy to use, doesn't make so much noise (I will still be wearing earplugs), can be shipped to Italy (or purchased in store, whatever) without exorbitant costs? I don't really care about a wall mount, it's just that vacuuming has become hell with unsuitable tools and the hay the bunny leaves around and I'm looking to reduce friction and spend my time in better ways.
