I live with 2 kids and 1 cat so my home is heavily travelled and I can not seem to find a vacuum cleaner that works for more than 5 times. I have a Eureka right now which I was told was great for catching pet hair.It sucks. I need a good vacuum that will pick up cat hair, pine needles from the Xmas tree, etc. One that does not break the bank.
get a dyson. It does not take bags u just have to dumb it and clean the filter once in a while. i'v had mine 4 5 yrs. got 4 kids. 3 birds. so yeah and we use it everyday and most have 5 yr money back gareentes
Problem isn't the vacuum, it's the bags. You have to change the bag often if you have a lot of dirt and pet hair. The alternative is a bagless unit.
