Thought you ladies might be able to recommend a vacuum that would work well with dog hair and with both bare/carpetted floors? I recently purchased a Hoover Windtunnel vacuum and have been so disappointed. It does a horrible job picking up on carpet so I think I will return it.
I'm not looking to spend $400 but I know I hear good things about the Dyson vacuums. Anyone have recs for a vacuum that doesn't have the Dyson pricetag but would perform well with pet hair? TIA
Re: Vacuum Recs?
Kenmore, from sears, I can't think of the offical name, but it's purple. LOL I LOVE IT! I use it for both hardwood and carpet and love it for both. I also like that you can buy the sear service package that goes with it. In case something goes wrong
**Consumer Reports rate it higher that Dyson, just an FYI**
Bissel Lift-Off Pet Hair Eraser. I have a Maine C00n cat (check google images, tons of long fur) and it works so well. He's red tabby with a white belly and my furniture is navy blue... you can imagine the cat hair carnage.
The lift-off feature is awesome for stairs and furniture. You push a button and the dust bucket, hose, and cord detaches from the main vacuum and you're free to roam without dragging anything behind you. I got mine at Target for ~$160.
