Vacuums

This is a good topic! I was going to make one myself. All we have is the Rainbow right now. It's a great one but very complicated to use all the time. I want the Dyson Pet one and my mom wants an Orek. So, I'll be interested to see what everyone says, too.

I bought one a couple of months ago. I like it because the canister part detaches and it becomes a canister when before it was an upright. It has a long hose, powerful motor and fits well under furniture. It is a Bissell Lift-Off the color is red. They make a green and a blue one, each is a little bit different. I think the blue one comes with a special attachement for pet hair. I got it at Home Depot it was $169.00 but I had a 20% off coupon to Linens and Things and Home Depot honored that coupon. So I paid less. It also has a Turbo Brush which attaches to the hose and is wonderful for steps, cars, curtains, furniture. Because the canister part is removeable it is super easy to carry around and clean the car. I love it.

I have a Hoover and I like it. I had a crappy Eureka and had the same problem, with it clogging. I've never had that problem with a Hoover. (unless the bad doesn't get emptied)
My ex-neighbor has a Dyson and she loves it. The only thing I heard about those is that if it breaks - any old vacuum repair shop can't fix it. And I think it's pretty expensive to fix.

I'm trying to get my dad to buy 1/2 and I buy the other half. He won't. He says the one we have is fine (which I bought btw) he says it's my pets fur so it's my problem...which I don't think is right as even if there were no pets we'd still need to vacuum it and I promise it wouldn't be him! I told him to just TRY vacuuming where I do then he'd understand. He won't of course. I just don't have money for a good one right now. It's SO annoying using a crappy one. I don't see why he won't. I could see if I said I want a TV. Buy half for me. But I mean i'm using it for his benefit as well.
