Need a vacuum recommendation!!

I'm sooooo sick of our loaner canister vacuum.  It's always getting stuck on corners and smacking me in the back of the ankles...

 So, I'm looking for a recommendation for a new upright vacuum.  We have 2 cats & 2 dogs and a lot of carpet (for now - our plan is to rip up the carpet downstairs, if the dogs don't do it first).

Re: Need a vacuum recommendation!!

  • I was just about to post this as I am looking for one for multiple floors. We have bamboo, area rugs and tile.

  • CR highest rated bagged upright is: http://www.amazon.com/Hoover-WindTunnel-Anniversary-Self-Propelled-U6485900/dp/B0016NP14A and the highest rated bagless is: http://www.amazon.com/Hoover-WindTunnel-Upright-Bagless-UH70120/dp/B002HFDLCK

    Mieles are rated highly in the bagged category, and several LG and Eureka models scored well in the bagless.  The Dyson Animal scored 4th in bagless; that's what a lot of Nesties recommend for pet hair.  But it was several times the price of the Hoover, so I got the Hoover earlier this summer.  The bagged models scored better overall, so I got the bagged version and buy HEPA filter bags.  I can't really compare it to other models because I've only ever had one other Hoover.  But I like the vacuum.

  • We love, love, LOVE our Dyson Animal. We have 2 chocolate labs and a shi ztu. LOL I swear our house is usually pretty clean, but without fail, I dump the canister 3-4 times. ALL dog hair.

    Seriously, I know its expensive, but it's the greatest thing since slice bread.

  • Thanks for the replies!  I asked my dad to scan & email me that CR article from 3/11.  I ended up going with the #1 for upright bagless (Hoover UH70120) because it actually got better ratings that the Dyson and was a fraction of the cost.  We'll see how it does.  I just really hope it's light enough to do stairs because that was the one thing I absolutely despised about the canister.
