Need something that really sucks

[onthefly]

I'm talking about vacuums. Is it worth spending big bucks on a fancy shmancy one?
I spent $130 on our last one about 4 years ago. We've reparied the hose thingy at least 5-6 times, and now the catch on the lid (housing the bag) is bust. It worked ok for us - mostly hard floors.

Ooooohhh yes!!

We went to top end and bought a Kirby and it.is.awesome!!!!! Amazing what is sucks out of the carpet, beds, drapes etc. Actually, maybe gross is a better word than amazing

Anyway, I have heard awesome things about Dysons, Electrolux and one other also. Definitely worth spending money on a good one

I would LOVE an expensive vacuum cleaner!

My parents had a Miele for years. It kept going and going and going (and that was with five kids running around). Not sure if they are a still a good brand for vacuums though??

Personally, I drool everytime I see a Dyson ad. Sick, I know!

one word. Dyson.

one word. Dyson.

I agree - I have a yellow barrel and love it! You can get these for around $300-400 at times.

DS was eying of an upright dyson when we were in harvey norman the other day. He wants the one that stands up or the funny looking one (not sure which one that was)

OMG, we had a demo from the Kirby guys. All was going well until he told us the price!!! About $3,000 I recall. Bloody great vacuum though!

Dyson Dyson Dyson Upright love it.

Dyson Dyson Dyson Upright love it.

Yup what Feeb said.
I got myself a new dyson upright only a couple of months ago and Im in total love with it! So worth the money!

Nah, that'd be mean - it's got a 'y' in it.

We have a dyson (not the upright) and i love it.
I vac'd with our old vac then went over it with the dyson and i nearly vomited at the site of what the old vac was leaving in the carpet.
I never thought it was worth it buying an expensive vac but so glad we did.

I want a Dyson.
I mean, if you had seen my in-laws place this would be easier to understand.
BUT, when we were living up there, when I was feeling bored, or particularly nice/generous/helpful (not sure which) I would clean the place up a bit.
Now, the crap on the floors, i think most people would look at it and tell you to just rip up the carpet.
Dyson = amazing.
I mean, if I was ever going to live there, I would rip up the carpet anyway, but their Dyson did wonders.

I have a miele and love it. It was $700 and it is really sturdy and powerful. I haven't had any issues with it either and I bought it about 4 years ago.

I like the idea of a dyson, but tbh, I prefer disposable bags...emptying bag less vacuums is a pain in the butt.

[Lenny]

I love my Dyson. I used to have cheapy ones, so compared to them, he really sucks.
I truly love him. Although a cleaner would be nice too...

I didn't get an upright as it seemed to me you have to push around all the heavy stuff with each stroke ITMS? Mine is a yellow barrel one and we bought him from Harvey Normans about 3 years ago for about $300. Sounds like a lot, but he's been worth it i think.

Did you know DS2's middle name is Dyson?

[onthefly]

Are you serious Lenny?

Nice try Bean! But I really need to know how it'll work at my house.

We bought a Meile upright last year and it's fantastic - the power head thingy on it is amazing. It's really flexible too and has several attachments. To me the Dyson's felt a bit rattly/plastic whereas this one felt really solid, but Dyson does get a fantastic review round BB!
