Vacuum

Good Morning Ladies-

I am in the market for a new vacuum, and I would like your oppinions on a good one! Ever since I moved into my house 3 1/2 years ago, I have been using my mom's. She has a Rainbow and it is probably the best vacuum ever!!! I currently can not afford to purchase a Rainbow, but with the gift cards I have received for the wedding, I really need to be a big girl and buy my own vaccum.

 Any suggestions? Also, I have a dog she is a pug and she sheds a lot! So, I need something dog hair friendly!!

Thank you!

  • oh, can you bring that rainbow over tomorrow night for me to use! hahaha!!

    i would be scared to see what it picks up! especially with my kiddos spilling stuff all the time!

    DH burnt out my mom's vaccuum sunday night.  i, too, need to suck it up and go buy a vaccuum....maybe around christmas!

    I've been trying to convince myself to bite the bullet and get one of these, but they cost sooo much! Do any of you use them on hard floors too?

  • We use them on hard wood here. In BR we had carpet onto that fake wood laminate stuff flawlessly. I don't know that if I had predominately wood floors I would buy one. Depends on what furniture you have, we used all of the attachments too.

    Yep.  I usually sweep mine and then vacuum.  No scratches!

    One more question for you Dyson owners.. Do they last along time? years??

    I think it has a 5 year warranty but with proper care, it should last forever.  Or close to it.

    this is what has kept me from purchasing one.. I just cant justify the price for us, bec our floors are 90% wood laminate and 10% vinyl linoleum..

  • Another vote for Dyson
  • We have a Bissell Healthy Home and are pretty happy with it. But with three dogs and a cat, we have to use it all.the.time.
  • We have a Dyson Animal Ball and I love it. I used the 20% BB&B coupon and got $100 off.
