that new vacuum you bought, can I ask how loud it is? Reason I ask is that I'm looking for one that I could leave plugged in and use for a quick whizz around the house first thing in the mornings if need be.... but in certain areas of the flat the soundproofing between me and upstairs isn't the best and I'm not sure they'd appreciate being woken at 6.30 by a vacuum noise
I currently have a regular cylinder mower but it's too bulky to leave connected all the time
