recommend a good vaccuum cleaner

[nanette1985]

I have a home health aide since I got out of the hospital last month. She wants to vaccuum my floor (carpeting) but hates my old cheap-ass vaccuum - it doesn't have enough power.

Hey, if someone wants to clean my place, I'm not going to argue. New vaccuum cleaner it is. Not too expensive, and plenty of power. Amazon would be good - I also order stuff from WalMart. No problems so far.

Dyson, but it IS expensive... what's you budget?

Oreck. I'll never buy anything else again.

This is mine:

Best vacuum ever made, and will likely last longer than I will.

And it's shiny.

I got this at Bed Bath and Beyond:

With one of those 20% off coupons it was cheaper than on Amazon.
I haven't used it much yet, but it seemed to have really good reviews online and I don't have any complaints yet.

Can't go wrong with anything that has zero suck loss

Rainbow. $1,000+ vacuum. Don't ask why -- girlfriends mom raves about it, I used it to clean, I assume a Dyson is better.

Dyson is nice, but I like my Dustless technologist shop vacuum better. It's far and away the best vacuum I've ever used. Can be had for around $500.

There is only one vacuum cleaner, and it's name is Dyson. It's vacuum heaven.

I use http://www.bissell.com/PowerClean-Multi-Cyclonic-Bagless-Vacuum/ I got it for around 160 though. Seems to work fine for me.

Dyson may be nice and all... but there's better

-edit-

But Dyson is good... Just too much plastic for my liking

Pro team 1500XP upright, 4 levels of HEPA filtration. You can pick one up on ebay for under $300.

My wife swears by her Dyson DC23 Animal. She also swears by cannister vs. upright. Do I see a difference in cleaning between a $400 Dyson or a $80 Hoover? No I do not.
Did I argue with her when she wanted to buy a 2nd Dyson Animal for the upstairs? No I did not.

No I did not.


I think you can pick up refurb Dyson Turbineheads on Amazon for maybe $219 or so. Still a little pricey for a vacuum cleaner....especially if you're a man.

Got $100 GC at BB, might score me a Dyson myself. Marketting worked...

 

[paperfist]

Wait till you have to get a Dyson fixed or replace its filters

It's a "Dyson", except it's not overpriced.

I have a Bissel Rewind Premier Pro "Pet" vac and it works just fine. Seems ot get up pet hair pretty well. For 150 bucks i cant complain either. I've never noticed much difference in a 150 dollar vac vs more expensive ones myself.
