So after my Vaccum cleaner decided to bite me (gave me a zap) yesterday I have decided its time to put the old girl out of her misery and get a new one. While I would love to get a Dyson its a little out of our price range.
I dont know much about vaccs so am I better to go bagless? I have cats so it needs to be one that can handle cat fur.
So hit me with any recommendations.. or stay the hell away froms. Please :)
uhm... we have a Dyson upright. Totally worth the cash.
hell yeah!:
I love love love my dyson upright sorry not helpful when you said you can't have one I guess :(
we got our dyson for $400.. shop around you can get them soo cheap.. or ebay??
I have an electrolux and it is bloomin fantastic! My bestie has a dyson and mine poos all over hers! Haha! She is jealous of mine! Seriously it's a brilliant vacuum. So easy to use.
I definately don't recommend electrolux's washing machines but their vacuums get a big thumbs up!
I was a diehard Dyson fan. Never thought I'd go back. Until mine bit the dust and I asked the salesperson if there was anything comparable.
I ended up with a new bagless Elextrolux. Half the price. Power is the same if not better. Actually the power is adjustable to you use what you need. The adjustable power also means you can adjust the noise.
Tools are the same (well it's a three in one tool so only one extra to cart around). Doesn't fold up as compactly, but I can live with that.
I have a Niflisk King... 9years old and still going strong! It has lots of filters for asthma (which is good for DH) and I had 2 cats (one being a Chinchilla Persian so LOTS of hair) and it handled it well.
Power and suction are awesome, and mum is always borrowing mine. Not sure how $$ they are, ours was around $600 but as I said that was a few years ago now
In a big reader of Choice magazine that rates them all. Generally speaking, Miele and Dyson brand vacs rate quite well.
I have a Miele (red one, cost me 299 on special) and I love it.

Dyson barrel with seperate floor and carpet tools - great! No bags and no filters to buy (you just pull it out and wash it).
Our little yellow Dyson is a dream. It was less than $400. (can't remember exactly)
I love it. I've posted about it before. I think in those posts i said i loved it. Not sure my exact words were though.
I do love it. Did i say it was yellow? The colour is immaterial. I love it.
I would suggest you stay the hell away from ... my Dyson. Or i'll find you and steal it back.
I thought of naming DS1 Dyson, but i thought that was cruel, so I used it for his middle name.
No, just joking about the name thing, but i do love my Dyson. It's bagless (soooo easy) and it did wonders on dog hair. I think it'd be fine on cat hair too. And it was not so expensive when you think it doesn't cost anything for bags and it hasn't needed replacing like maybe a cheaper one would.
Hahah:

.I have a dog and cat and yes, it's great on cat hair too - I think mine was about $500 but have been cheaper since I bought it!:

Bahahahahaha!:
Mine sucks........haha couldn't help myself.
I have a yellow dyson to, worked great on cat hair when I had a cat.
Another dyson fan here, I got a fab sale price and got the flat head too for less than $390. That was a couple of months ago. I love it!
I have three....
I love my Dyson!! It really sucks hehe! (LittleChicken stole my line :lol:).
Then I have a Stolli and Cash - they are my dogs and pick up the food DD1 and DS drop on the floor after meal times! Hehehe!
I have the electrolux bagless -bagless is the only way to go, bags are a pain in the rear!
Mine copes very well with the leavings of a medium to long haired indoor cat (doesn't go outside so ALL his hair gets dropped on my carpet) and is also very comfortable for me to use - tricky to get as I'm quite tall and most handles aren't long enough to use without stooping. Plus the cord is reeeeaaaaallly long so I can do the entire house from 2 power points.
Opposite with me. My electrolux vacuum blew up after 6 months and I had hell trying to get it replaced under warranty. Second one blew up 6 months after first. Electrolux washing machine is freaking awesome and washes clothes so beautifully. Even the super, super filthy DD's been playing in the red dirt stuff has never needed to be rewashed!:
