Can't justify spending several hundred dollars on the Dyson because it's a good sucker, it's still bagless. The thing is they need to be empytied out and more often than not the bagless ones only let all that suckage fly free again.<BR/>The filters, those waay over expensive little boxes of corrorgated paper is another hidden cost, I mean, wth is it that a replacement was damn near $35? Upright vs canister is damn near a moral dilemma since the choice forces lifestyle examination.<BR/><BR/>sope, I went with the Kenmore canister, strong little sucker it is alright and also got Four bags of bags. Ya, it was still spendy all in all even though on a good sane sale, but has done it's good real well, haven't lost any of the attachments cause they store under the 'hood'. The cord winder hasn't lost it's umphh and still pulls the whole cord back nicely.<BR/><BR/>Now if I can just get the dang thing back from my kid...<BR/><BR/>The Rainbow one is a very good 'hooka' setup and gives the satisfaction of knowing all the dander and dust is now a semi muddy slurry that can be poured down the drain thereby leaving the house free for a new generation of dust mites and whatnot.<BR/><BR/>The, dang what is it called now, you know that one that can suck and pick up a bowling ball? Ya, that one, is a good light weight model and has a warranty for eighty years! (Really, the guy told me that at the cleanest store I've been in in years) Thing is, as I looked at his sincere eyes and gentle manner, I was thinking 'Dude, neither you nor I will be around that long that's for dang sure!' Plus the price was more than the Dyson.<BR/><BR/>So, keep a good broom handy Rosie and since you have hardwood floors maybe those slippers I saw in a little catalog recently with the swiffer type material that can be attached to the soles might come in handy in a pinch..<BR/><BR/>Oh ya, the Kenmore came in a right sexy deep red too...<BR/><BR/>^5<BR/><BR/><BR/>SkyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-68569199364761821842008-05-13T19:55:00.000-04:002008-05-13T19:55:00.000-04:00Rosie: We bought a Dyson D 18 last week at Bed Bat...Rosie: We bought a Dyson D 18 last week at Bed Bath &Beyond. They have a price match policy so if you can find it for less elsewhere, they will sell it to you for the advertised price of their competitors We also get coupons in the mail from BBB for 20% off on any purchase. Anyhow, we paid about $280 for this D18. It is so much better than our electrolux. Go get one if you can find one; I think that this model is going to be discontinued.<BR/><BR/>Bobbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480693216043108697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-41401558926532202852008-05-13T18:51:00.000-04:002008-05-13T18:51:00.000-04:00hey! i just bought my first vaccuum ever last week...hey! i just bought my first vaccuum ever last week! its in the stars....mine is an older...probably vintage...rainbow vaccuum. i got it on ebay. they're like 1500 new or some such nonsense.<BR/>being an evironmentally ill type of person with real lung issues, i'm happy with it. a bit clunky as its a canister vac, and changing the water can get tedious when you live with as many animals as i do, but it works well.<BR/>reminds of my old, also vintage mercedes...its old, but its a MERCEDES.<BR/>the vac cost me 150.<BR/><BR/>theres my 2 pennies.<BR/><BR/>hope you are well rosie! i'm sorry about your friend moving away...where o where will you find another rural queer to chill with? we are a rare species.<BR/>xoxoxoaaron ambrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027168007655481095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-27993036163944712082008-05-13T11:56:00.000-04:002008-05-13T11:56:00.000-04:00I have two vacuum cleaners, three if you count the...I have two vacuum cleaners, three if you count the shop vac. They all suck a BIG GREEN WEENIE. The upright, a Hoover, (a vacuum named after a former FBI Director best known for cleaning up crime, notice I didn’t say grime) is good only for carpet. On hardwood and lino, the rotating brush sends all the little particles under the back side and pecks your angles like a sand storm. The canister I’ve had since the 80’s, for some reason I’ve always I called her Shelia. She is good only for hardwood and lino since I’ve lost all her attachments and her capet attach was a little rough, turning the carpet into fuzz. Her hose is a mostly duck tape now. There is no such thing as a good vacuum.Audubon Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01416502283861536402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-56628265208749708222008-05-12T22:37:00.000-04:002008-05-12T22:37:00.000-04:00By no means am I trying to pry that story from you...By no means am I trying to pry that story from your lips- but- when you are artists, you often end up not owning much of anything; consequently I didn't own a vacuum til I was 40. I got a SHOP VAC WET DRY and it ruled, but when my husband vacuumed the floors it made his back hurt a lot because it ISN'T an upright.<BR/><BR/>So, I did the classic thing of buying him a DYSON $400 vacuum for his birthday! Just like on a sitcom where the wife is all mad you got her a cleaning tool....BUT.....HE LOVES IT and I have to say that it outsucks even a SHOP VAC WET/DRY vacuum (which were invented for guys to suck up sawdust and water in their workshops and factories) I mean, that DYSON is SO WELL DESIGNED it is ridonkulous, it is almost as though someone with BRAINS designed it to be easy to use and work well!!
