We must have had 10 vacuums in the past 5 years. We have been buying bagless upright vacuum cleaners in the $80-$150 range. We run a playgroup from our house so we vacuum alot!! At least 3 times a day. These cheap cleaners just don't last. The loose suction very quickly and eventually just break. So we have decided to invest in a better quality one. Any suggestions of a good quality vacuum cleaner that will last and do a really good job time after time. We don't really care about bag/bagless or upright/canister. We just want something that works well and will last. We are looking in the $400 max price range. So far we have been looking at Dyson, Oreck and Electrolux. Please help!!!!
Vacuums, they all suck, or should anyway. Store brands: Bissell, Hoover, Eureka, Dirt Devil etc are all good. But not built to do the heavy duty vacuuming that a commercial vac is designed to do. I can attest to those I've listed. I have accrued probably 15 different models over the past year from the college apartment community we live in. I pull em out of the trash. Replace the belt, clean em up and sell em on craigs list for $15 -$65 each. I have owned the Rainbow, albeit $1800.00 new, you can get them on craigslist for $200.00 to $600.00. It's an excellent vacuum and will provide many many years of trouble free service. The best feature the Rainbow brings to the table is it is 100% dust free on the exhaust. Call a Rainbow distributor, ask for an in-home demonstration. You WILL be impressed. But buy a used one. You'll save many many 100's of dollars. Good luck...
Dyson - the best vacuum cleaner! If you're going to pay that much, make it worth it. Plus I'd suggest you take a look at the 'steam mop' (which can be used on carpet stains). I've NEVER ever taken to infomercials, but it looks really cool! I think it would be great for your playgroup because the kids won't be rolling around in chemicals. Anyway, make sure to check the warranties on all the vacuum cleaners and possibly ask for a trial in-store if they allow you.
Go for a nice Handy Vacuum Cleaner or go for Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner with Filter, Bagless.

I own a dyson and it is renowned as one of the best vacuums. My uncle has a kirby, the best vacuums available, but heavy, not packed with features, but will last forever which is what you would be paying over 1000 dollars for. The dyson comes pretty customizeable in many different models. And the fact that the dyson never loses suction which is correct. The only thing with the dyson is that if you have a pet there will get a lot of hair stuck around the rotating brush which is the only cleaning you will ever have to do with it. The receptacle is super easy to take out dump and then put back in with only one hand. Just don't be too rough with your dyson i haven't broken any part of mine but it is only made out of plastic.
