[NAGDU] vacuum cleaners

[Debra Baker]

Julie,

I, too, like my Dysons.  I have both the upright corded model and the rechargeable.  A disadvantage to the rechargeable is that it is handheld, of course, and you have to keep the power button depressed the whole time you are vacuuming.  I agree with Tracy about cleaning the filter and emptying the canister.  They are not difficult.  I chose the Dyson corded model with the ball because I had an older model with wheels rather than the ball, and found that I ran over the cord more often, trapping it under the smaller wheels and making it necessary to replace my cord.  I often reach far up into the canister with an old towel to find any dog hair I haven't reached with my hands.

It is time for me to replace my vacuum cleaner and I’m looking for suggestions.  I want an upright for sure.  Bags are okay, but I’d prefer a bagless system.   I have two dogs who don’t shed crazily, but enough that I want a vacuum that can handle pet hair easily.  I looked at the Dyson Pet Plus Allergy, which I had heard good things about.  The reviews were mixed though.  Is there another vacuum that is especially good for dog hair? I’m willing to spend a good amount for a vacuum that will last a while.

Suggestions?  Recommendations? Models to avoid?
Thanks in advance!
Julie
