Fixin to buy a new one

Dust devil I think bagless. I like the bagless better

Sanitare commercial no bag HEPA

Bosch...no bag and it really sucks...but on this subject that is a good thing...

who vaccum's?

Bissell PowerForce. $40 at WalMart. Genuine old fashioned kind with the bag. I live alone so it is rarely used. I got the tip on this vacuum because it was the one used by a contract cleaning crew at work. It's a good vac for the mney.

We have a bag-less Eureka that is several years old that has been a good one. I don't think it was but about $150 give or take $

I recently read somewhere a story on vacuums that said that big expense doesn't necessarily mean great performance. They specifically mentioned the Dyson as not performing any better than a much cheaper vacuum.

We have an Oreck XL,it really does weigh only 8 lbs.Only drawbacks are a bit pricey,although we had it over 4 yrs. only have had to replace the drive brush($30-$40 bucks including installation)last year and you have to buy the bags (pack of 9-$25.00)direct from them either on-line or they have a store in Vista Ridge close to my house.As vacummn cleaners go it does a good job and we did get a cannister vacuum thats great for automobiles and tight corners FREE!

i had one, but i divorced her...

Do not buy the Dirt Devil long handled bagless vac--its really a more powerful dust buster with a long handle and sweeper attachment--just $20. I bought one to vaccuum the two carpet mats in and 8 x 8 guard shack. Not enough suction. After a while the vac fails to tay together becasue the little tab and slot in the middle wear thin. The stupid little filter has to just about be scrape to get the debris out of it.

I've got a bagless hoover. Spend more time unclogging it that actually using it.

ask my wife, thats her job.

yup, trashed ours after about a year, worthless POS. we use a stinger, powerful little rascal

i dunno, thats wife dept.

Dyson

We have a Kirby. Freaking expensive but very good. I was actually little peaved when my wife told me she bought it, but now that we have had it for several years I am glad we do.

Rain bow

ditto!!


But if I do vacuum at all I set the Roomba down and let her go.

Not sure the wife does the vacuuming.

We have a Kirby purchased new in 1984 and still in use at the main house...At the lake house, I use the $40 Bissel from Wal-Mart...It's as good as the Kirby with suction and lighter...Not to mention a LOT less expensive...

Miele - Dog & Cat. Nice vac...bags are small and very expensive if you go for the high filtration model. It is an expensive vac, and I am not convinced it is worth the extra expense.

i'll ask my ole lady when she gets back in from taking out the trash,washing the dishes,and folding the clothes

we jst went thru this over here at my house, we have had a hoover, dirt devil and a dyson ahd they all didnt work a darn, so we went to Evan vacum shop on camp bowie and bought a Riccar,pricey but worth it

Same here.

Dyson

cheap eureka. No need to spend big money.

you better start training

$55 Walmart Dirt Devil. I can but a new one every 2 years for 10 years and save big money over the high dollar ones.

My wife says we have a Kirby.

Juanita. Sometimes Maria.

Kirby...

how does a vacuum cleaner thread get 32 replies

Once you have Dyson animal, you never go back...
Expensive for a vacuum but has been as good as advertised. I just need to find out about durability- all plastic. Two years so far without a problem.

Dyson for animals. Amazing the amount of dog hair this thing will pick up. Had mine for about 4 years. I'm a cheap SOB but this thing is worth the extra money if you've got two big ol dogs that shed like crazy.

Sanitaire - Same model the housekeeping crews use at most all of the major hotel chains.

Talk about taking daily abuse......................

This thread belongs in the Lady Anglers forum.

Button up your dress and make a post there.

I did already. You came back to OT. And how'd you know 'bout the dress? That's supposed to be secret.

I just use a rake.

we used them for 35 years

Nothing sux like an Electrolux

Get a cheap one and throw it out when it breaks and buy a new one.

Riccar Supralite. Expensive, but worth it !

I got the info on it from a lady that cleans houses for a living. She's been through the Orecks, etc...and they didnt hold up. This is a VERY lightweight unit with a POWERFUL motor.

I also have a Hoover that I can vacuum the floor with once....then go over it with the Riccar and you can SEE the difference. It picks up stuff that most vacs wont. Bags fill up quickly, and that's the tell tale sign for me....assuming the same size bag on 2 different machines.

It made me a believer. The old heavy Kirbys cant hold a candle to it, either.

In vacuumspeak: Riccar SUCKS ! ( and that's a good thing !)

I've got a $80 Bissel I'll put up against that Dyson! Not that the Dyson is bad, but mine just works extraordinarely well!

DITTO...but I didn't have to pay for it, was a gift from my Mom after she moved in with us. Great piece of equipment.

dyson animal

this thread sucks

Wife has an Oreck,that she lets me use occasionaly.
Man-up

25 year old electrolux that's still going strong.

I'm disappointed in you guys.

One word



ShopVac

I have a cleaning service, not sure what she uses.

Austin Mark, uses his vacuous argumentation to clean his crib....

TFP

Ouch...that'll leave a mark.
