Sully Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Ours just took a shit. It was 10 years old and was a $75 pos at the time of purchase. It worked, but not great. I want something better this time around, but won't break the bank. There's 2 adults, a 7 yr old kid, and an old lazy dog in the house. Pretty soon, the entire house will have bare floors with the only rooms having carpet will be the 3 bedrooms. We want something that will clean both. I've read some reviews today, but I still have no clue since these are "expert" reviews. I'm looking for real-world reviews. So, what do you use? What would you recommend? What would you not recommended? And finally, anyone here have the hook-up on vacuums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I still stick with hoover. I head dyson is good but $$$. I have a hoover vacuum that does tall, short carpet and bare floor. And a Hoover steam cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA In Progress Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I know they're pricey, but I have to recommend a Dyson. We've had one (DC14) for close to 6 years and it's has been flawless. We have a 100 lb. husky/retriever mix that sheds like there's no tomorrow and it does a great job with the pet hair, especially on the hardwood and ceramic tile. Also, we used one of the 20% off mail coupons at Bed Bath and Beyond which saved about $80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Well the one that I like the best that I've used is mine at work that is a Hoover. Our boss has had two dyson's, but complain they don't last like they should. I don't know why they broke, but she moved up to an Oreck and loves it even more.

Skinner Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 we Have a first Gen Dyson and it still works great only issue I have is that the power switch will over heat if its used for a long time. Its a 20 dollar part but I rarely have a issue with it. Plus I have owned it for 10 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Other than a simple wet/dry shop vac, i have no idea about house hold vacuums....that's why i have a fiancee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast5gp Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I know dysons are expensive, but they are worth every penny. I picked up a DC28 on blackfriday a year back, but if I had to pay full price for one, I would so do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Dyson. IIRC they are on sale for mothers day. We've had one for several years and just bought another smaller "ball style" for the lower level. It's pretty nice and maneuvers well.

Slickdeals.net Hoover: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/73476/amazon.com-hoover-windtunnel-tseries-rewind-upright-bagless-vacuum-uh70120 I was just reading reviews on the UH70210 on Amazon because the roller brush thing can be turned off on the 210 model, but not the 120 model.

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Find a Kirby. Had one of those growing up. Sounded like a turbine but it worked awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 We have had a Kirby since the early 90s that refuses to die. I don't care for how much it weighs, but it works amazing. In the garage, I have a small 5.5gal ShopVac that has been great to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yeah, they are built like a tank, and can be run through anything. New they are big bucks, but you can usually find used ones for decent. They will make any Dyson look like a little bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 My parents still have the Kirby they bought when I was about 11-12 years old, they've fixed a couple parts over the years but it still works great. Guess that makes it about 18 years old and still sucking. My wife and I have some Bissell bagless thing now, its okay, but should be better.

Steve R. Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 My parents bought one of these. Quite expensive, but it provides enough suction to hold itself to a wall... ¯\__(ツ)___/¯ http://www.mieleusa.com/usa/vacuums/product.asp?cat=1&subcat=1&model=662&series=145&nav=&snav=&tnav=&oT=184&menu_id=5&active=Our%20Products&subm=Vacuum%20Cleaners&thirdL=Canisters&fourthL=& Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
