Vacuum cleaner poll

Forget all those other vacs...go with a ProTeam backpack vac. Its pure suction so no beater bar messing up your carpet and they are super light! and very dependable! They come in different sizes too!

 

We have the Dyson. I love the bagless cannister, no paying for sweeper bags just put the cannister into an old walmart bag squeeze the release button and the crap falls out. Tie the bag up..no mess no fuss

 

My girlfriend has 4 cats that shed like a mofo. we have gone through a few vacuums trying to keep up with the pet hair & crap. She finally threw the cash down on a dyson, and it has been awesome. I've only had 1 problem with it - one of the tabs that holds the hose onto the handle broke. The store gave us a brand new one in exchange with no questions asked. Lifetime warranty through bed bath & beyond. (or linens & things? i can keep up with these stores, its one of them)

 

It looks like Dyson and Orek seem to be most popular amongst the crowd. My wife is convinced that the Dyson is FTW b/c all her family has them but I'm not so convinced.

Chris is definatley offering the most knowledge thus far...must be pretty experienced in this dept. I've also been advised of the benefit of less dust useing bags. I certainly don't want to make an impulse buy on something I use twice a week!

Nice videos btw Chris

 

We have a kirby .

 

I use a "Riccar" no probs in 3 years

 

kirby....FTW
these things will suck the paint off your walls

 

X2 Expensive, But worth every penny!

 

Wet/dry vac.

 

We just got the dyson dc25 animal. It honestly is the most impressive vacuum I've used yet. We bought it at kohls on black friday. It was on sale for 399 plus I found an online coupon for 20% off with free shipping.

 

Just got rid of our Kenmore bagged upright for a Dyson DC28 Animal. the Kenmore did OK, but with 2 dogs, the bags would start to smell pretty fast. The Dyson needs to be emptied fairly often, but it picks up WAY more than the old vacuum. Shocking just how much came up from our "clean" carpets. The canister is a little small, but is easy yo empty, just push a thumb operated button and the bottom opens to empty in the trash. I'd rather empty it a few times than have 3 pounds of bulldog hair stinking up the closet from the HEPA bag on the old vacuum. Haven't tried the Hoover that Chris mentioned, but it's silver and silver things are silly.

 

What are the warranties on each brand?? I know dyson is 5 years but don't know others.

I'm impressed with dyson so far. No loss of suction and how the hose pulls out is cool. Bagless and so simple to empty.

My cousin has a kirby. It works awesome but expensive and fugly imo

We have 2 Dysons (upright & canister models) and love both of them.

When we got the first one (upright) we went over a previously cleaned (carpeted) area and picked up a lot more dust & dirt.

Note: On Dysons ... IF the "Carpet Selector" is not set properly, the machine will not vacuum well ... this is very important on the uprights.

PS ... I joke that if I had to leave in a hurry ... grab the dog, the Tacoma, the Dyson and the Sleep By Number Bed and run ...

try consumer reeports -they do a good job testing-- my hoover was rated best about 4 or 5 years ago , but I doubt it now

 

My Kenmore was and may still be rated best, but the Dyson blows it away.
