I am looking for a new vacuum and willing to pay a little more for quality. ?Our down stairs is hardwood and tile and the upstairs is carpet. ?We don't have pets but my hair sheds everywhere. ?So much that it clogs the cheap machine we have now. ?Any ideas? ?I know people love their Dysons but I have heard mixed reviews about Dysons on hardwood. ?TIA
Re: vacuum recs
Hi! Welcome to the Nest. I'm new too.
My DH and I got a Hoover? WindTunnel? Cyclonic Upright Vacuum as a wedding gift last year and I love it. It comes with a HEPA filter so you never have to buy replacement bags. I think our filter is washable too. Our apartment is mostly carpet and the kitchen and bathroom are tile so I'm not sure how it is on hardwood, but it works great on our tile. Very easy to manuever and light weight, too. It costs about $300 but you never have to buy replacement bags.
Hope this helps!
Welcome to you too. :-) I really think I'm going to like The Nest. ?There's so many different fun topics to read about and post on.
?Also, thank you for the vacuum rec. ?I am trying to gather different opinions before actually buying one. ?So...I value your opinion. ?
?Thanks!?
A site I like to use to research stuff like this is www.consumersearch.com. I find it really helpful in understanding what features, etc. to look for. It's sort of like a Consumer Reports and gathers opinions across multiple sources (including CR, actually).
Here's the link to their info on vacuums: http://www.consumersearch.com/vacuum-cleaners
I need to go buy a new vacuum just to motivate me to actually vacuum.
We bought ours a few years ago so the model we have is no longer available, but it is similar to the DC 17.
We have a Dyson DC25 (which is just a slightly larger version of the 24 that jcam got. We have a lot of hardwood floors and I have zero complaints. I LOVE my dyson.
