as above do i really need to take the upright hoover in the property  as i have seen lots of videos using it as a dry vacume

You need a upright vac I would not use an expensive HWE machine as a vacuum cleaner.

The dry dust will get in the vac motors unless you used a dust downer.

Not worth the hassle use an upright and a cylinder vac for the edges and stair's.

Definitely get an upright vac, makes such a difference to your cleaning. The beating bar at the bottom helps in extracting more dry soil. Upright vac is made for vaccing carpets and HWE machine is for HWE cleaning.
