Please recommend your vacuum or tell me what not to get!
I am replacing my Hoover Wind Tunnel because it's a piece of sh*t.
Do you love your vaccum? Why?
Re: Please recommend your vacuum or tell me what not to get!
I have a Bissel Lift-Off. DH loves it. He does the vacuuming in our house.
You don't have to haul the whole vacuum around. You can remove the dust canister and the hose and leave the main part of the vacuum behind. The only carpet we have is on the stairs (everything else is wood or tile) so we have almost no use for the main part of the vacuum.
It does a really good job picking up dirt and hair.
It works really well on furniture as well as carpet.
It was about $150 when we bought it nearly 3 years ago.

Haha! I came in to recommend my Hoover Wind Tunnel because I really like it. Nevermind.
I love my Miele Carina! It is super light and gets under everything. We don't have carpet and we do have a dog and 2 kids, so I love that I don't have to move any couches or anything to get all the dog hair that congregates under there.
I got it awhile back from Bed Bath and Beyond with a 20% off coupon.
We also have a Dyson ball that DH had to get for work. I only use it occasionally on our 1 rug. It is heavy and does not get under any furniture, I can't imagine vaccuuming with it all the time or carrying it around the house. But it does work well on that one rug! And it is messy, dust comes out everywhere every time I empty it, even if I put it all the way to the bottom of the garbage.

Miele bolero. Picks up everything on hardwood and carpet. Easy to push and move around furniture, goes flat under tables, has a bag and hepa filter (if you use bag less you just release all the dust you just sucked up in the air when you dump it).
