[blparent] looking for very powerful vacuum any recommendations?

[Tammy]

Hi,

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who isn't very good at sweeping.  Black and 
Decker makes a wet/dry vac that is cordless that hangs on the wall.  My kids 
are all messy messy eaters so I use mine daily at least and sometimes more. 
It's comes with a crevice tool and a squeegy tool, and the only drawback is 
that it's small so requires me to get down on hands and knees to use it on 
the floor.  but it's got good suction and is wet/dry so it's worth it.  It's 
easy to clean, just has a washable filter and washable dirt and water 
container as well.  I think mine was about $40, so not too expensive.  If 
you want a broom vac and don't need it to be wet/dry, electrolux makes a 
combination broom/hand vac that's cordless.  Not sure what it's called, mine 
just died not too long ago, but sears sells one for about $130.  I had mine 
for 3 years and loved it.

Hi, OK so I figure I'm not the only one hating wood floors and loving them
at the same time. I am a horrible sweeper yes I can do it, but the effort to
make it look at all good is just not worth it, but I'm crazy about having
clean floors to the point that after meals I will get down on the floor and
hand sweep and mop the floor around where the kids ate. I much prefer to
vacuum. One of my friends uses a shop vac with a floor attachment and it
works very well I've used, but it is very loud. My regular upright vacuum
does great assuming I don't need to vacuum up anything but dust and a tiny
bit of crumbs. Because it is wood and you can't use the rotating bar often
things just get pushed around or blown behind the vacuum. So I'm wondering
if any of you know of a high powered vacuum that would pick up cereal and
things that aren't just crumbs that isn't super super expensive.



Thanks!
