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!:
Dyson upright love it so good!
My last one was an Electrolux and it lasted me 10 years. :) Thanks guys time to try and talk DH into a Dyson :)
Really? Maybe mine's just dodgy then. Sometimes I think the clothes come out dirtier than when they went in! And I can still smell DH's deodorant and aftershave after washing his shirts!:
Oh and I've had my electrolux vacuum for about 6 years and it's still going strong.
I have a miele cat and dog vaccum. I think it's around $600 but it is an awesome machine. It comes with 2 vac heads, a regular one and one with these spinning brushes to pick up dog and cat hair (I actually don't have pets but it's great at picking up cotton after I've been sewing :-))
You can also adjust the suction too.
I think there are bound to be faults within every brand really. I mean they have x amount of models under x amount of brand name.
Perfect timing on this thread. My vacuum cleaner JUST started yelling at me when I switched it on! DD and I both got a nasty fright from the noise it was emitting :lol:
wow whats going on, mine died today too!!!
Loving this thread as I have two cats who leave hair everywhere also.
Looks like its dyson or electrolux- now to get a good deal....
I have an electorlux too but borrowed my neighbours Dyson & thought it was good too:
I have a Meile upright and it is fantastic, a little pricey though. Ours was a gift and it topped the Dyson's I trialled, but then again alot of folks swear by Dyson. Our vac is sooooo flexible for an upright.
We have the Miele Cat and Dog too and it's awesome. We have two longhaired indoor cats. Say no more really!
I wanted one with bags because I'm actually allergic to house dust (an allergist once told me I shouldn't vacuum - ha ha yeah right!) and prefer to not have to empty a bagless one.
The turbo head on the Miele is a-mazing.
it sucks......hahah..ha.....ha....anyone??
Lol!! Love it :D:
we went to harvey norman, said we only wanted to spend $400, the dyson was advertised for i think for around $650 and he gave it to us for $400! i love my dyson, will never go back Lol. shop around, im sure you can get one for the price you're willing to spend :)
We got a vac from Aldi (no idea on the brand). Looks pretty close to a dyson and is the best vac I've ever owned. Picks up everything! Bagless too.
It was $99 ;)
