I am desperately searching for a good vacuum cleaner, since I have a baby on the way. We have tried ones with bags, but it seems like every time I turned it on, there was odor, so we bought an upright bagless vac. I get so frustrated with it also, b/c it too has a bad smell when I’m vacuuming. I clean the filters regularly (which is a pain!) and empty the container. It also seems to redistribute dust back into the air, esp when I use the pull off hose attachment to get corners (dust flies out!)…I don’t want to have to keep buying vacuums! I would love to have one of the higher dollar ones, but we can’t really afford it at the moment. Are there any good vacuums out there for under 0 or am I just wasting my time?
It is an old saying but SO true…You Get What You Pay For. I am 44 years old and have owned just about every type of vacuum cleaner out there…literally…because after about a year or two of use, they are worthless. They lose suction, parts break, the height adjustment stops working, when I turn it on it smells like all the junk I vacuumed up the last time I used it. I have always had animals that spend some of their time indoors, so I was always buying a different/better/newer vacuum cleaner to pick up the hair and odors. I have 2 dirt devil vacs that don’t work anymore and a hoover vac that is hiding in the corner. I finally broke down and forced myself to pay $400 plus dollars for a Dyson…OMG…all I can say is the Dyson is worth every penny!!! It picked up things in my carpet that I had no idea was there and I had just vacuumed with one of my Dirt Devils 6 days earlier!
Maybe you could buy it on credit and just pay monthly. Sears sells them and if you have or can get a sears card ( fairly easy ), it is worth the payments and the interest for your baby. Also, here where I live…my local Wal-Mart is selling some Dyson models now. Put it on lay-a-way?
Dyson. It costs a lot, but it’s so worth the price. I love mine.
We have a Raibow water vacum cleaner. It’s really good – no bags, no filters & it supposed to purify the air. It’s pretty expencive though.
I agree the rainbow, the water vacuum,, you get none of that odor or musty smell,, and you can add drops of fragrances to the water,, and they make your entire home smell great,,
We ended up getting a dyson b/c we were having to buy a new vacuum every year. So i figure it would even out after a few years and I have to say it is really great!
