| I've been using a Bissel pet hair eraser for almost four years now, and it sounds like it's on it's way out, lol. So I was looking for some suggestions on a new vacuum. A Dyson is completely out of the question, hubby won't pay that much for a vacuum. I'm pretty sure my limit I could get him to spend would be 200 max. So what have you guys had good/back luck with? Thanks for the input! |

| The search feature is a good tool to use. This thread from earlier this year talks about vacuums people use/recommend including, but not limited to, the Dysons... Looking for a new vacuumFWIW, not all the Dysons are very expensive, I've seen some pretty good sales on some of the lower end models and I know we have a number of members who have snagged new Dysons for really cheap on Craiglist. With the holidays upon us I'm sure it won't be hard to find a good sale if Dyson might still be a contender for you. I have to say though, I've never had a vacuum that cost less than $250 that really did an impressive job. My two favorite vacuums are my Dyson DC41 Animal ($600) and my Kenmore Progressive beltless upright ($250). _________________ |

| I looked through product reviews/recommendations thread, not the general discussion thread, didn't even think of that one, oops. I didn't even think of checking craigslist either. I'll have to check there. Hubby is a gun guy, there's no way I'd get him to buy a vacuum that he could get a gun for the same price, lol. I really wouldn't mind spending the extra cash, I prefer a clean house! It's not too horrible right now since Lucian has a while before he'll actually blow his coat, but I have two cats as well. Short hairs, but they still shed like crazy. They lay on a piece of furniture for a while and once they get up they leave behind evidence, lol. |

| For $100 I got a Eureka Air Speed Zuum at Target to use when I'm too lazy to haul out my super 20 year old Kirby (which is an awesome - they are expensive buy last a long time!). Well, the more I use the Eureka, the more I like it. We have bamboo floors and area rugs and I can switch between the surfaces quickly and it picks up pet hair well. Great for the price. Please note that we live in a little house, so it might not be good for a big house because it isn't very wide. |

| Ugh. I've spent hours looking up reviews and such on vacuums. I loved the Bissell pet hair eraser when I first got it. It has done me four good years of service. I might even overhaul it, and see if that helps any. I've been looking at a Bissell rewind premier pet vacuum. The ratings are pretty good, hubby would approve of the price, and it has all the features I like about my pet hair eraser. Maybe I can manage to get one for Christmas, lol. In the mean time I'll keep shopping around for one. There are so many reviews out there!
My house is by no means huge, but the majority of it is wall to wall carpet. The only rooms that don't have carpet are my bathrooms, one of which is a half bath, and my tiny kitchen. So I have two bedrooms, a living, dining, and back room that are all carpet. |

Check RFD a bunch and skim through or search for Dyson deals. They come up all the time too including refurbs and such. They also have pretty awesome deals when they are getting rid of their old models... I posted a link earlier in the year to one for Canadians. Red FLag Deals With Black Friday coming up there should be a deal on at least refurbs in the next week or two. Good luck, ~Chris~ ETA - if not boxing day will probably hold some deals. |

It's our 4th one in the house and I swear to god I will never NOT have one. _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?!

| I need a Dyson bad! The vacuum that we bought about a year ago if starting to not work so great. Ivan refuses to spend so much on a vacuum though I have caught him looking into the Neato as my xmas present, but now I need to decide if I prefer the Neato or Dyson. Hmmm.... |

How did you manage that? My dad does a lot of resale, he found it at one of the flea markets he frequents. Probably fell of the back of a truck but who cares!? There are a ton of deals out there, just gotta look! $250 for that one on Woot is awesome. _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?!

Maybe I might even make a trip down to Buffalo if there ends up being a sale on Black Friday... Now just to convince Tim... |

Before taking time time to cross the border check this site for Black Friday deals, then arrive early. http://www.gottadeal.com/ My bargain search --->>>Best Buy is supposedly going to offer a 40" Toshiba telly for less then $200, if I can grap it online then pick up at the store I'll get one for the other family room. |

| I have a little easy vac Bissel from Walmart that my mom bought for me before I left for college. It is small and I have to empty it out a lot but I love it. It is perfect for my two bedroom apartment and gets all the doggie hair and pieces of pine cones that Anna shreds on my carpet that she brings in from outside |
