vacuum
We are looking to buy a small hand held vacuum- mostly to clean the stairs and small messes. We have a dog so hair is an issue. We saw a couple at walmart but then researched them and found that they seem to break after a couple uses. We don't want to spend a fortune on something that won't get used all the time. Does anyone have suggestions? We want corded- not battery operated. The ones we were looking at were Shark brand and around $50.
Re: vacuum
I'm another Shop Vac fan. We have one that's maybe 1 or 2 gal. capacity, but wow, it works great. Also works for sucking up liquids and you can use it as a blower (we use it to dry our cars and blow out the garage). Multi-purpose, powerful, tons of attachments and add-ons if you want 'em, and only something like $30 at Lowes. I would get an extension to the hose at the outset though, it really helps. The only drawback, is that it doesn't have a rotating "beater bar" but we use a lint brush to loosen the really ground in fur, so that isn't really a drawback.
Oh and I have a cat and a husky (see adorable photos in siggy). That's how we keep up with the non-stop crazy fur-fest that is everyday life in our house.
