viva923 · ‎03-12-2010

hello all

I am looking for a new vacuum cleaner (upright model) for my whole house carpeting. baths/kitchen are not carpeted.

I have that ULTRA thick,soft carpeting so have to have something that will work on this ultra soft plush pile carpeting.

OK guys what can you tell me about vacuum cleaners for ultra plush carpeting (upright models only). thanks for any ideas you can give me.

Dyson...I swear by these machines. I have the Royal Palace rugs and they clean down to the pad. I also have wall to wall and a variety of hard surfaces. This brand has worked for me and lasts years and years. We always have German Shepherd dogs and its great with dog hair. It also picks up fine particles or "stuff" that people track in from the outside. I do use all the extra attachments so for my needs they are not throw aways.

What I did when I was looking for a stick model was to take a trip to the BBB store and check out the different brands and weight in my hand. Best idea I had. I was surprsied by the difference in weight and I could feel the qualtiy of construction pushing them around a bit. I do think that you get more attachements with QVC /HSN but check the sales at BBB (with coupone) and Kohl's with (coupons) before you purchase.

I won't own anything else for our needs.

I just got a Riccar cordless upright and this vacuum is amazing.

Another vote for the Shark brand--got mine at Best Buy on a great sale a few years ago.

I do not recommend the Dyson vacuums at all. I have had two, first one only last a little over two years, second one, the ball canister, main cleaning head fell apart three times and currently duck taped to stay together. I just ordered the TSV Shark and hoping for the best.
