Vacuumn Cleaner recommendation

I need a new one for low carpets and also good on pet hairs.

I had one from HSN years ago but it became too noisy. Then I got one from them for my son when they were giving points for mdse. He wanted it back for he got a Bissell and didn't like it I guess.. Don't know if it was new or used.   It isn't picking up in my house  very good--had it for 3 uses now. I hear about the Shark that is about all. So I need some feed back on the one you have, please.

Had my Oreck for 19 years not one problem. I use everyday, just a habit.

I have two Hoover Wind Tunnels (one is a year or two newer) that I keep on different floor.  They are pretty lightweight and mobile, and they pick up everything in sight......really powerful.  They are bagless uprights with a hose attachment and a rotating brush.  I think you can get one for less than $140.  I also can't stand the loud noise, and that's what I like best about these.........I don't have to wear my earmuffs when I use them!

I have a Dyson Animal and a Shark Rotator.  I would definitely by the Shark again.  I don't hate the Dyson, but it was much more expensive and has no additional features that make it worth more than the Shark.  The Shark is easy to maneuver and does a great job of cleaning.

I have dogs and love the Dyson animal (ball style). I have two different models. I have a big house with all types of floor surfaces and these really perform for me. It gets pet hair that you didn't even know was there.

Years ago I had a Kirby vacuum and it was wonderful. The thing weighed a ton but it lasted for 20+ years. I then switched to the Dyson and have been more than pleased.

My Oreck is about as old as Panda's, and when it dies it will be replaced with another Oreck.  I highly recommend the brand-- even if you have pet hair to deal with.

Re: Vacuumn Cleaner recommendation

The best vacuum I ever owned was years ago - a Sears upright.  Someone broke into our home and that was one of the things they stole.  After that we had a heavy duty self-propelled Hoover Wind Tunnel.  It was excellent and my husband loved it - and kept it after we divorced.

 

I'm happy with my Shark Rotator Power Lift-off (TSV several months back).  My only complaint is the hose is too short, hopefully they fixed this on newer models.

I also  would recommend an Oreck - powerful ,  works great on wood floors low pile carpet and also thicker shag rugs -  and very lightweight

Re: Vacuumn Cleaner recommendation

I love my Miele upright.. 16 years old. I have it serviced locally every year or so for about $25-$30.00. I also have a central vac system, which I use on my hardwood and tile floors. Bought DS a Sears canister vac for Christmas. He has hard surface floors throughout his house. Very reasonably priced on sale- maybe $70-$80.00.
