I have a Shark A1 robot vacuum with self cleaning bin. OMG I love this thing. We call her Hazel. She vacuums daily at 10:00 AM and takes Sundays off. Our floors are tile, hardwood with a few large area rugs. Hazel does an amazing job and is quiet.

@teachergal I agree! We just got a Roomba for the upstairs too! It's our gift to the upstairs! LOL!!!

Suggestions welcomed. I live by myself, but do own a cat - so I got hair and dust and the usual debris that seems to appear out of nowhere. I typically vacume with the power vacume once a week - 2 bedrooms are carpeted, and I have 2 large rugs. I have a swiffer and a bob aslett micro fiber mops for the hardwoods and tile. Also a manual little vacume sweeper push around thing.

But I need a new power vacume. My current one (about 10 years old) is a Bissell, bagless and I like it just fine, but one of the filters in the debris container has gone kaput. I don't want to spend big bucks on a vacume. Really I don't want to go over $100 if possible. With the age of the vacume I don't think I can just get a replacement filter, although I haven't really looked for one. Any recommendations? A Shark? A Bissell? Hoover? or other?

Oh my! I used to have a Eureka canister, metal, lasted forever. Then the original Thunder and then the Dyson DC 07. The Dyson was the best vaccum ever. Now there isn't a vacuum on the market I would recommend. Not even a Dyson and definitely not a Shark. The prices are way too high and the quality does not justify the price. I now have a Dyson DC33 for carpets and a Soniclean for bare floors. Got a good deal years ago at Walmart but no comparisson to my original Dyson. The Eureka Mighty Mite has a lot of good reviews and it's cheap. I am in the market for a new canister vac but there is nothing out there except may be for an expensive Miele. The insanity of putting a Hepa Filter in the dirt bin of bagless models is just too insane and so many brands do it. I am convinced the people who design vacuums these days have never used a vacuum or just don't care what they sell.

You can't go wrong with a Shark. We are love ours. We just gifted a Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away Upright Vacuum (NV501)to our daughter and almost SIL for Christmas and they love it. They have two cats and a dog and she told me yesterday how much fur it picked up that she had to empty the collection receptacle several times. I was able to get it from Kohl's, on sale, with a coupon code, and Kohl's Cash. Oh, i went through Ebates too. 👍
