What kind of vacuum cleaner do you have? Would you recommend it to others or tell them not to bother?

We have a Bissell Cleanview Helix. We got it in the fall so it's pretty new, but I have no complaints.

I have a kirby. I like that it's a vacuum and a shampooer and everything you can do with it. works good for us, but would prefer a bagless

if someone was thinking about getting one I would definitely share my experience with it, but it's expensive

I have a Kenmore Progressive InteliClean and I absolutely HATE it! The salesman sold DH on it when he talked about what great suction it has. I was still unsure, but we needed a vacuum. With in 6 months the InteliClean part went out of it (that's an electronic sensor that tells you "how much" dirt the vacuum is picking up). It only collects about 1/2 a bag of dirt before it starts to lose suction...and the suction really isn't that great as I can feel stuff hitting my feet when I vacuum (it just kind of throws stuff at you). I'm not happy at all about how much we paid for the thing and how poor of a job it does. I would much rather have my clearanced $15.00 Hoover back. It worked so much better than this one.

Oh, and it is heavy!

I have a new Hoover machine. It is identical to a dyson and guarantees that it will never lose suction. I got it at Costco. So far, I really like it.

i had a kirby and got sick of the bags and how heavy that thing was. changing attachments wasn't easy or quick either...and super expensive. ended up giving it to the in laws.
we now have a dyson animal with floor attachment. so far i like it. easy to use and the attachments are easy also. i would recommend it.

We have a hoover that is about 12 years old or more. It works pretty good. My complaints are it's old and has a weird smell (like vomit or maybe pets) when we use it and I don't feel like it helps at all for the allergens. We all have allergies and that thing has been used at my our old apartment, my moms house, and our house.

So, hubby is buying me a Shark for mother's day. I may be getting it tonight. I'm excited....I hope it works well. He tells me he's heard good things about it...so wish me luck!

Oreck XL. It's super lightweight and has great suction. Hey, if it's good enough for hotel maids it's good enough for me. It doesn't work with attachments though so when those are needed I have a little mini shop vac that works wonders.
