What vacuum do you use?
I saw a demo for a Rainbow last night (didn't buy it), but it sure made me feel dirty. Ick! I guess my Bissell isn't cutting it anymore, but I can't justify spending $2500 on a vacuum. Any recs?

Re: What vacuum do you use?
The rainbows are definitely amazing if you can afford one! My mom bought one when she got married 29 years ago and it still works like a dream! They don't make them like that anymore.
I use one from Wal-Mart but I'm not going to rec it because I'm not a huge fan of it. I can't even remember what kind it is. It eats my carpet.
I just have a cheapo Hoover Pet vacuum but if I were looking to invest into a vacuum that I wanted to have more than a few years I would look at a miele over a dyson.
I have many cats and a dog so I have to deal with a lot of pet hair. I vacuum every day. My husband bought me this vacuum, Bissell 50c9 Heavy Duty, about 3 months ago and I love it. We bought it at Walmart and although it is more expensive than your basic vacuum it is cheaper than a Dyson and I believe it works just as good. I would highly recommend this vacuum.
Here is a link if you want to check it out. http://www.bestvacuumreviews.com/bissell-50c9/
I had this vacuum, we only have 1 dog, but I killed it in less than 2 years. First the hose went and then the spinning brush and then the suction altogether.
We've had a Dyson Animal Ball (the DC-41, the newer one) for 3 months and it is seriously disgusting what the old vacuum wasn't doing. This one is easier to maneuver too- and much lighter. Plus you can wash out the filters instead of replacing.
Highly recommend. I found a BBB coupon that didn't exclude Dysons and it was $480 after tax. Comes with a 5 year complete warranty, so if I kill it in 5 years, it is still <$100 of use per year, which is a pretty good average (and cheaper than the nightmare Bissell). I am confident it will last longer based on the number of people I know who have had them 8-12 years and they're still going strong.
Stand up for something you believe in.
