Need some advice

I bought a cordless one, it's a pain, the charge does not last long and it does not vacuum well. I took out my 55 years old Vorwerk folletto, it's still the best. I hate those without a paper bag, so much better to take out the bag and replace than to clean one from the dust.

Check out Dyson. Considered really good. My mom loves it.

I bought a bagged vacuum this time. It's a Bissell. I got tired of stopping to empty the dust bin and cleaning the filters. This one doesn't need as much attention

Not wanting to drag a heavy vacuum around, I have a Bissell FeatherWeight. This is the one where you have to empty the dust bin and clean the filter but I have a small apartment and i don't do it all too often.

Our last vacuum cleaner is a Sebu, I think. My son recommended it and it could suck up a cat it’s so strong. It comes with all kinds of attachments and was highly recommended. My cleaning lady uses it, because it’s too heavy for me. I also bought a cordless Electrolux, Bissell, and Sharp which are great for quick cleaning of floors and carpets. They are kept on different floors. Hated our Robotic Vacuum. Don’t waste your money on those.

We read reviews and take them with a pinch of salt but overall they're helpful. I like our cordless but use a bigger one from time to time for specific jobs.

I would go with a cordless vac personally. Having one is heaven.

I like my canister vacuum cleaner. Sure it takes up room in the closet, and it was very costly, but it is very reliable more than a dozen years after purchasing it. I have a robot vacuum which will not withstand the test of time. It also doesn't do a great job on tile floor. My canister vacuum does a good job on all flooring types and carpeting, its just the physical labour of pushing it that I dislike.

I am also planning on buying one. I might buy Dyson, it is a good brand.

@inerddentures Our Henry has a good strong suck and is about 7 years old now.

I would buy one without a bag, but I would buy lightweight one. The one my uncle bought me years ago was so heavy.

The last vacuum I bought which has lasted a long time was a Sears brand. I think it's a Kenmore. Bissell and Hoover should also be good.

How about a new brush and pan for the misses?

Honestly, if I were buying a vacuum now, I’d go for something reliable like a Dyson or Shark. Strong suction, easy to clean, and they last. What kind of floors or mess are you mainly dealing with?
