Vacuum Cleaners
DH and I are looking to replace our cheap, old, well-used vacuum (finally!). Does anyone have any recommendations for specific ones they love, or even specific brands? Just so you know know we mainly have carpet and I vacuum at least once a day, in case that makes a difference.
Thanks so much!
Re: Vacuum Cleaners
I would say it probably depends how much you want to spend. You could get a decent middle of the line, or go all out and get top of the line.
We had a $99 cdn tire Dirt Devil and it died after 4 years. So I did some research on what was best. Around that time, I found a sale on Dyson so that's what I went with. I vacuum 1-2 times a week because I am lazy, but we don't have a ton of carpet. True to its claims, the Dyson never loses suction. That being said, I am not sure if it really is any better than a cheaper model. I do like it enough, but when I have to replace it, I am not sure if I would get another Dyson.
Perhaps, if there is a vacuum store near you, you could go in and get suggestions? GL.
Our house is mostly carpet too:-(
We have a Kirby G6 and it does a fantastic job. The only cons are that it is really heavy( not great if you have a lot of stairs) and the cost $1500 - $2000(approx).
I've heard a lot of my friends rave about their Dyson's so I think that would be a good option too.
We just went through the search for a new vacuum. I did a ton of research and read consumer reports and product reviews. We vacuum alot (DH has allergies and we have 3 cats, plus our area is still under construction so there's lots of dust) so we wanted to get big bang for o ur buck.
Our house is roughed in for a central vac but neither of us are fans of them. Too much hose, etc. So we ruled that out.
I have had Bissels in the past and they are JUNK! Their customer service is awful, and even their replacement parts are crap. I ended up throwing our in the garbage, it wasn't worth the hassle.
We looked at Dysons but ther reviews are mixed and we kept seeing the same sorts of complaints/issues coming up again and again. So we ruled them out, too. For $600 I wanted to ake sure I had a machine that wasn't a crap shoot.
We ended up with a German made Sebo. It. Is. Amazing! Seriously. Best vacuum ever. It was a choice between the Sebo and the Miele (also a German brand). I blogged about it here. I would totally recommend it!
