Vacuum cleaner recommendations?!

Hi! I'm new to this board. I was just wondering what vacuum cleaner you would recommend. DH and I are probably going to pick up a new one soon. Right now we just have some cheapo Eureka we got when we first were married. I really want to get the Animal Dyson but I don't know if they are worth it and if they will last.

What kind of vacuum do you have? Do you like it?

What are some features you look for when shopping for a new vacuum?

 Sorry these are all silly questions but I've never spent a good amount of money on one before and I'm tired of the cheapo ones lasting only a couple years (if we're lucky) and then having to buy a new one.

TIA!!

Re: Vacuum cleaner recommendations?!

  • I have a Dyson and I love love love it!! Seriously... this thing is amazing! I have had it for about 4 years and haven't had any problems with it. They are pricey, but so worth it! We have two dogs and it is crazy at how much it picks ups! Go for the Dyson... you won't be sorry!
  • We got the Dyson Animal Ball for Christmas this past year and we LOVE it. Not sure what kind of dog you have, but we have a black lab who is constantly shedding, at least it seems that way. It picks up all of her hair and dander....our carpets have never looked cleaner!!

    Totally worth the money IMO!

  • We just got the Hoover Pet Rewind, and boy do I love that thing.  It sucks up everything.

  • We have the Dyson Animal.  We used DH's birthday money and left over wedding gift cards to BB&B to purchase it as a Birthday/Valentine's Day gift and our only regret is that we didn't do it sooner!  I couldn't believe the stuff it got up that our other vacuum didn't.  We have a lot of animals and I used to have to use powders and scrub to get the hair out of the carpet - now the Dyson sucks it right up.  We fight over vacuuming now - because we both want to do it. :)  If you go to BB&B you can use a coupon on it.

     

  • I hope I'm not too late to help :) I am surprised that so many folks have and love their Dyson Animal. I just did a ton of reasearch before buying our new vac and there were mixed reviews on Dysons in general and the same issues/problems seems to be repeated again and again. We decided againt one and went with a German made Sebo and I LOVE it! We have 3 cats, the hubster has allergies, and we live in a new subdivision with lots of dust from construction and it's worked amazing on our carpets and hardwoods. I would def recommend! I blogged about it here, if you are curious.
