Better Vacuum cleaner?
We have four cats, a dog, four kids (one with Asthma), my wife and I in the house. We are looking to get a good vacuum cleaner with some of our tax return money. What is the best of the below listed? Give testamoney if you can.
Dyson DC17 Animal
Dyson DC17 Allergy and Asthma
Bissell Pet Hair Eraser
Bissell Healthy Home
Thanks!!
I have heard very, very good things about DYSON vacuums.. I work at KOHLs and the ANIMAL was on sale for $549.00 the guy had a Kohl’s 30% coupon for being a credit card customer so he saved around $160 AND he had another housewares coupon for 15% off housewares/appliances…. So, the vacuum was just under $300 !
*You may have to wait for the 30, 20 or 15 % scratch-off’s AND be a KOHLS credit card customer.. However, it’s worth the wait… Also, KOHLS does match price other dept stores..
*Just another TIP no matter what vacuum you decide to buy if it comes has an EXTENDED WARRANTY you can purchase DO IT.. I bought the one on my HOOVER SAVVY which is a GREAT vacuum by the way..
I bought the extra 3 yr. I have a total clean/check on my vacuum every 6 months.. It’s like having a brand new vacuum ! I usually just "lie" and tell the customer serivce rep that something isn’t working.. It gets cleaned/checked and in a week my vacuum is brand new ! The extended warranty was around $100 !
*The HOOVER service center is about 20 min from my house !
I have 2 toddler and a massive shedding dog…. My vacuum works very, very well… It cost about $200-$250 and ranked in the 2002 or 03 Consumer Reports about the same as a DYSON at a fraction of the cost ! Even if you buy the extended warranty you’re still doing better than the DYSON ! It has onboard attachements, a high/med/low carpet setting AND carpet/bare floors…
When I got my carpets cleaned I vacuumed BEFORE and the tech showed me a palm size mound of hair from the stairs that I didn’t get to BEFORE he showed up ! It has two filters and it’s bagless…
The downsides are the cord is too short but, I use and extention cord so that problem is solved..It can sometimes be messy to empty I usually do mine outside or in the trash in the garage. It’s alittle heavy and the filter(s) are expensive to replace..
Although, I’ve found the HEPA filter online for around $23 or $32 for the HEPA and the small other one…. on AMAZON.com… In the stores the HEPA only is around $40 but, last about 2 yrs.
Whatever vacuum you choose good luck

From my own personal experience of owning a cleaning company I found that purchasing a home vacuum cleaner you get a lot of attachments you really never use but you pay for them anyway. I suggest going to a janitorial supply store and purchase a commercial vacuum cleaner. They cost about the same but are more rugged and last longer. Plus, you don’t clutter up your closet with a bunch of attachments you never use.

I have the Dyson Animal. I love it. It was worth the money. We have a cat and a dog and two children. I do use the attachments that come with it. One is perfect for the floors that are not carpet. Another works well on stairs if you have them. It is very powerful. I really like the dyson.
