I am needing to get a new vacuum. I have a dog and cat, so I want something that is going to pick up the fur and not get clogged easily. Which vacuum do you recommend?

This Site Might Help You. RE: Bissell VS Eureka Vacuum Cleaners...which is better? I am needing to get a new vacuum. I have a dog and cat, so I want something that is going to pick up the fur and not get clogged easily. Which vacuum do you recommend?
Years ago vacuums were mostly metal, with plastic used sparingly, as in bumpers, trim, etc. Nowadays vacuums are 98 % plastic, with metal used sparingly, such as in the motor, wheel shafts, screws, etc. Bissell has traditionally used a cheaper plastic, similar to the stuff they used to make those cheapie little toys out of. It doesn't stand up to rough use very well, cracks easily and breaks. Eureka has been in the vacuum business longer and I feel, makes a moderately good product. I'm not aware of any Eureka u/r's that allow for agitator shut down while running. Panasonic makes an u/r with that feature, as does Riccar and Simplicity, all in the $300-$500 range. Bagless machines require more filters to catch the dirt that the bag normally stops, so require that you purchase filters regularly instead of bags. It's a trade off. Also, when you dump the dirt container there's always that little puff of dirt back into the air, which you can frequently bypass with a bag. Consumer Reports rates bagged units over bagless units, nearly every time. One of the best vac's for the money is the Hoover Windtunnel u/r. If you have trouble with your arms or wrists they are available in self-propelled models, if not get one without. They all have great suction and a good agitator system.
Hi, okorder /... You can check out consumer reports magazine online or for free at your local library. Hope this helps.
