vaccum cleaners - Homemakers Homemaking

reynswife · 10-22-2009, 02:43 PM

My vaccum cleaner recently crapped out on me (well not really, my DH let our puppy chew on the cord and the quick fix is no longer holding). And now I'm beginning to drown in pet hair.

Funds are tight but I still need a new one. I don't want anything like a Dyson, I need functional over price.

What kind do you have? Which ones do you know that you would not recommend and why? What do you like/dislike about yours?

I have 4 kids and 3 pets (2 dogs and 1 cat). The upstairs is fully carpeted as is the living room and I have a dining room rug. The rest of the house is linoleum (sp?).

Sorry, I'm not much help. I have the Dyson pet hair one, and won't ever go back.

Good luck!!!

I bought a brand new $400 Dyson 24 on ebay for $220. dude, you can find them cheap if you're patient.

I'll never leave the Dyson brand after owning this one. And I got it cheap, so I'm real happy.

I looked at consumer reports and we ended up with a Kenmore... I love it and think its works great.

I had the Eureka Pet one, that was good!! I was I think 180 at the BX (probably cheaper now)

Now I have the Kirby, which i know ppl think is over priced, BUT that said, it does freaking wonders!
