Need a new vacume, any suggestions?

[Singleminnie]

My vacume of almost 10 years died this weekend, I think a toy got sucked up and burnt out the motor. So I am looking for a new one. Does anyone have any suggestions, are there any deals out there, I am on a budget! Of course I am having guests over this weekend, so I can't wait too long, ugh!

Thanks

Not a Hoover! Old ones were great new ones stink!

I don't know if there are any deals for them, but I have a Dyson after many other brands over the years, and Dyson gets my vote hands down. When I was divorcing, it was the only thing that my soon-to-be-ex and I fought over - not the antiques, or the house, or the cars, or the 401k - the Dyson. They're fantastic!

The couple of times I've had a problem, they walked me through fixing it over the phone. Great customer service!

The first or second Christmas my son was in college, I got him one. It's been quite the bargaining chip with roommates!

Consumer Reports doesn't rate them very high, but I don't always agree with Consumer Reports.

If you can afford i vote for Dyson there are quite expensive, also walmart has a good one for about 50$ i think its a dirt devil?

I lke to get zee new vacumes at Tarzhay, zey ave dee best prices!

Seriously, get whichever one you pick at a place that has a liberal return policy. (ie avoid Fry's Electronics, who make you give up your firstborn and fingerprints to return something). You may have to try out a few before you find one you like.

My vote is for the Eureka Boss. I've had mine for 5 years, and nothing has ever gone wrong. I replaced the belt this spring, and it works just as well as it did when I bought it.

You can buy it for $139 at Walmart, $149.99 at Amazon, $139.99 at Costco.

It's not a super quiet vacuum, but I find that it is significantly less noisy than a Dirt Devil. It's also bagged- which I find creates a lot less dust than the other vacuums.

Kind of expensive, but I LOVE my oreck!

 

[Eeyore's-tail-tack]

i work for a cleaning company, and the Oreck is what we use. If I could afford it, I would buy myself one.

kenmore progressive upright!! I have a cleaning business and have 3 of them.They are a little heavier than some others but are the best!Should last at least 7 years (and that is using twice a week).If a belt breaks you can easily change it.Consumer reports have had it at the top of their list for years!

Dyson! Dyson! Dyson!

When we need to make a purchase we know nothing about we look at the last consumers report for the item and pick their cheapest "best buy." It's worked well for us so far!

For our vacumm we got this:
http://www.amazon.com/Hoover-U5140-...1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1242687515&sr=8-1

$70 w/free shipping at Amazon and it works great

I'm sure it's not the *best* vacumn, but it's definately a great deal for the money and at that price it doesn't need to last forever.

The last two vacuum cleaners I got I found on the side of a road. The first one is a enclosed bag Panasonic and the other is a Oreck XL. Both work perfect. The Oreck had a poker card stuck in the tube. I am in the cleaning business, just amazes me what people throw away.

I wanted a Dyson but just couldn't spend the money on it. I hated the vacuum I had it was a bagless and I hated when I had to empty the container.

I got a Eureka Boss at Kohls with a 20% off coupons - so far I LOVE it, the suction is so much better then my old one, and it has the bag which I wanted. I love the bag more then the bagless.

Just saw on slickdeals that Macy's had the slim dyson on sale for around 269 with free shipping. Hope this helps someone!

 

[Leleluvsdis]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my dyson!!! Kohl's has good prices on them and target will run specials where you can get a gift card free with your purchase. My favorite past about it is all you have to do to empty the canister is pull a button!!! AWESOME!!! no more touching dust and funk!!! good luck with your choice!

I love my Dyson DC14. It hurt to spend the $ but I would lose more if I did like my mother in law and bought a new "cheap" $70 vacumn each year at Walmart.

They usually sell refurbished ones on Amazon.

 

[HelenePA]

Bissel Healthy Home 129$ at Home Depot ranked better than the Dyson! I love it. Worth every penny!

I sent my dh out to get me a bagless, because we have 5 furry pets, and he was sold a kenmore canister from sears. It works great, but I have to change the bag every 1-2 weeks because it's full of dog/cat hair. Thank you mister salesman...
I would definitely get a bagless if you have a lot of pets. My friend has a dyson and loves it. They got a floor model at best buy for $50 off and had a coupon for $50 off. She's a super bargain shopper anyway.

 

[Syrreal]

I've managed to kill every vacuum we've ever had except for our dyson. I know they are expensive but they are way cheaper than having to buy a new one every 8 months or so. We've had ours for almost 4 years now and it's still going strong.
