Question:

Vacuum reviews?

I am lokoing for some suggestions on the best vacuums for a house with a dog that sheds CONSTANTLY. The fur keeps clogging my upright, so I think I am going to go with a canister vac, however, I do not want to spend a lot of money. Any thoughts.

Answer:

I am 49 yrs old. I have had every type of vacuum under the sun. Phatoms, Eureka's, Dirt Devils, everything, but after going through vacuums almost every 3-4 years, I had had enough. I went for a DYSON. It's awesome. I'm at a place in my life where we could afford a nicer vacuum. It NEVER loses suction. I'm a vacuuming fanatic. I don't feel my house is clean, unless it's vacuumed. I have the swivel head Dyson and love it. Well worth the money you pay for it. Lowe's has the best price, unless it goes on sale somewhere in which Lowes WILL match the competitors price.
I okorder has many reviews of vacuums that people have personal experience using - so check them out too! Good Luck
If okorder /... At first I resisted spending $300 on a vacuum. (You can buy a good vacuum for about 70 bucks, right?) My husband insisted, and I am glad he did.
I have a Eureka upright, Boss bagless upright (with hose attachments). I have 4 kids and an indoor allergy bearing, super shedding dog. That vacuum has been a really good vacuum and when it dies I will get another Eureka. Walmart has Eureka, and I am sure I paid under $100 for mine. I will say I have a Bissell carpet cleaner that I also like. One brand I have never had good luck with is Dirt Devil.
Everyone's going to say get a DYSON.. Well, they are about $500 and I'm sure they are nice, but like you I don't have that to throw around.. Having said, consider taking your old vacuum for servicing.. It may only need an overall clean and check, belt replaced etc... Also, it may be good to take your dog to a groomer once a month and have him/her brushed throughly to prevent all the shedding... If you are set on getting a new vacuum I have an upright HOOVER SAVVY and I love it.. It's roughly $200 and I even vacuum my dog with the attachments I've had it for 4 yrs and it's been great. However, we did purchase the extended warranty for the extra $100 for 3 extra yrs.. That has been a lifesaver ! I've only had to replace my filter 2x ($40) each and the warranty has covered everything else.. I have my vacuum whether it needs it or not serviced at least 2x a yr... So, the warranty has paid for itself.... Good luck...
