E and S’s mama need help to clarify doubt about: : Best vacuum for the price?
Our Oreck vacuum that we had for 10 years just broke and we need to replace. I would get the same one but I don’t want to spend $ 300 on a vacuum (the first was a gift). Any suggestions for a vacuum that will last long and can handle dog hair?
We have all hard wood floors with two area rugs and two hairy dogs!
Thanks!
Dyson is just as expensive as Oreck (and not as good). I’m looking for something preferrably under $ 200…

I don’t know but check Consumer Reports. Hope you don’t wind up with one that sucks…no wait, that’s what they’re supposed to do….
I have had a small Electrolux Mondo for years. It cost £49.99 and is brilliant. Do not buy a Dyson, they are rubbish!
I have a Bissel Pet Hair Eraser. My dog doesnt even shed but I bought it anyways because the price was around $ 150.00. It was the best decision! The suction is really good because of the fact that its meant to suck up pet hair…so it practically picks up anything! An added bonus is that it comes with a few attachments so thats a plus too!
miele is fantastic for dog hair but mainly on carpets but are 180 pounds, but a Henry is fantastic or hard floors, They suck up pretty much anything and go on forever. They’re 70 pounds. I’m a domestic cleaner and we’ve had our Henry’s for years cleaning 4 houses+ a day.
Just for informational purposes, Eureka and Electrolux, or Aerius as it’s now known, are now one company. Not sure which one bought the other one out, but one entity owns both. Eureka’s have been enjoying a good reputation for the last few years, and for the most part, deservedly so. They’ve been at the business a long time and although for many years, the quality left something to be desired at times, they seem to have sucked it up, so to speak and have come out swinging. Hoover’s Wind Tunnel series of vac’s have been doing very well as well and seem to be very reliable. They are also available in a self propelled model for a slightly higher price. They can be had for $ 150 – $ 180. Consumer reports rates “bagged” cleaners above bagless cleaners, and so do I, mostly because of two things. Folks who use bagless cleaners, mostly completely forget about cleaning the filters and frequently burn up the motors because of it, and when they find out how expensive the filters are they usually hit the ceiling.
