Mine doesn't have a beater bar, though, so in that respect I am not qualified to answer. The amount of dirt it pulls up though is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-526873 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:38:30 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 526873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fourthing (fifthing?) Dyson. I too keep seeing ads for the new lightweight one, but I don't think ours is that heavy at all, and it works a treat. If you get coupons for somewhere like Bed Bath &amp; Beyond you can get a good discount. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-526815 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:45:39 +0000 biscuitsmom 526815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the replies! I wrote all the names down, so when we get our taxes back we hopefully can buy one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-522011 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 02:05:18 +0000 taylor 522011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have owned the same Elektralux for over 20 yrs. and I wouldn't buy anything else:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-521923 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:46:46 +0000 Jjsloane 521923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE my Dyson. Lightweight to push, but not carry around. I am constantly amazed at what it picks up. It's going strong at 8 years and I've only replaced one hose (because SIL ripped it trying to put it away). I just ordered the Electrolux Ergorapido which is a lightweight combo stick vac/ hand vac for when I want to haul it around quickly. It gets great reviews but I haven't used it yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-521916 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:43:32 +0000 chewyspaghetti 521916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Dyson- they have a smaller, lighterweight version out now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-521827 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:37:38 +0000 D'Ellen 521827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my Shark Navigator. It's fairly light weight and small enough to maneuver under, around and between the furniture in my very tiny house. It does a great job on carpet and is not bad on bare floors. There's a new model Navigator (since I got mine) that's more like a Dyson I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-521821 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:30:39 +0000 JayS 521821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll put in a good word for Lindhaus vacuums. I've had the Health Care Pro for nearly 10 years and it is still going strong. Although not self propelled, it's light and nimble. It also has a different head for vacuuming hard surfaces. You also have the choice to engage or disengage the beater bars..nice when using the hose attachment. It's a purchase I've never regretted.</p> <p>Oh, it also has a hepa filter. It is recommended for allergy sufferers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-521794 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:38:44 +0000 Janet 521794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like our Dyson as well. Does a good job of picking up three dogs' worth of hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-521791 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:37:30 +0000 Angela 521791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DYSON DYSON DYSON!! The only bad thing is it's not lightweight but I'll never buy any other brand again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-521756 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:51:01 +0000 kellygirl 521756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, this is one thread that I feel qualified to answer. My first vacuum was a Hoover upright which was horrible. It was like pushing a brick--but an unbalanced one. It always went to the right (or left) instead of straight. Since then, I've had a Miele canister which worked pretty well but not practical for my current square footage (and stairs.) I currently use a Sebo upright self propelled with a Hepa filter which I flippin' LOVE. It's awesome--easy to push, has a wand that is attached to the body of the vacuum so I can pull it up to pick up cobwebs in corners and other things up high. The vacuum has this neat feature that allows you to lower the handle all the way to the ground which makes vacuuming under beds a snap. The vacuum bags are easy to change and the roller brush pops out for easy cleaning. Gosh, I could go on and on and on.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-521731 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:31:22 +0000 Debora 521731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be watching this thread for suggestions. I use a canister vacuum and mine is on its last legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-521723 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:25:26 +0000 modgrl 521723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like my dyson too but it is HEAVY. If I ever buy another vacuum cleaner it will be a canister vacuum: </p> <p><a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=vacuum+cleaner+dyson&#038;hl=en&#038;client=firefox-a&#038;hs=rHD&#038;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&#038;bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/products......r_pw.r_cp</a>.,cf.osb&amp;biw=1169&amp;bih=697&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;tbm=shop&amp;cid=3972528350193947236&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=cMUhT7XJEKXa0QGJjb3lCA&amp;ved=0CNMBEOUNMAQ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-521717 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:19:24 +0000 Travelgal Nicole 521717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know they are expensive but I really like my dyson. Or I might suggest a cleaning lady </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-really-need-a-vacuum-recommendation#post-521667 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:19:58 +0000 biscuitsmom 521667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The main requirement is that it's lightweight or (Im dreaming here) self-propelled. I have a Dirt Devil and I have had it with it! It's like trying to push a huge cement block I just did 3 small rooms and feel like crying....any suggestions are much appreciated! </p>
