There's a pretty famous redditor who is all about vacuums, and he says that Mieles are the best.</p> <p>I would go with a bagged vacuum vs. a canister-- they have better suction and do a better job.</p> <p><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2ldfs3/iama_vacuum_repair_technician_and_this_is_the_1/" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2ldfs3/iama_vacuum_repair_technician_and_this_is_the_1/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2cfpol/vacuum_repair_guy_here_again_i_missed_several/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2cfpol/vacuum_repair_guy_here_again_i_missed_several/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/24rx7e/hi_reddit_im_here_to_make_your_day_suck_better/" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/24rx7e/hi_reddit_im_here_to_make_your_day_suck_better/</a></p> <p>I never thought I was interested in vacuums until I got sucked in to his AMAs.

I love it! I got the Titan. Which one are you looking at? </p> <p>For a cheaper one, our Bissell lasted for years but I *hate* changing the dust basket. I always manage to breathe it in, even though I'm really careful and I hold my breath! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-recommendations#post-2120282 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 15:43:13 +0000 NorthStar 2120282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone ever heard of a Miele? My husband insists that we get one, but at $600, that's a tough pill to swallow. I might have the look into the ones suggested above.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-recommendations#post-2120281 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 15:40:52 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2120281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for the Shark </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-recommendations#post-2120279 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 15:39:22 +0000 Anagram 2120279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have a shark--can't remember the model but it's gray and purple and works great!

We have a very fluffy cat that sheds a lot, and it has no problem picking up the fur. We have had it for almost 3 years.</p> <p>It has great reviews on Amazon. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Shark-Navigator-Lift-Away-Professional-NV356E/dp/B005KMDV9A" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Shark-Navigator-Lift-Away-Professional-NV356E/dp/B005KMDV9A</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-recommendations#post-2120162 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 14:41:53 +0000 cheert16 2120162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a dyson- while I like how small it is, and lightweight- there are a few things I dislike about it. The length of the cord is way short- I cant do a whole room without having to unplug and move to a different outlet. Also it tends to get clogged like once a year (badly enough that I cant remove it!!)- so I have to have it serviced for $30.00. It has lasted 5 years (so far)- but at this rate servicing it I could almost buy a new one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-recommendations#post-2120154 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 14:37:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2120154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: good to hear!

I don't remember if it's the professional or the navigator. It's amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-recommendations#post-2120129 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 14:24:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2120129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: well bulky doesn't work too well - it will have to fit in a small closet! Costco is a good place to look though - thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-recommendations#post-2120125 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 14:22:58 +0000 tysonja 2120125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not exactly a recommendation so much as a 'this is what works for us", but we have a small apartment and use a regular shop vac (about 50$ at Costco) -- it's bulky, but we keep it in a shed and only DH vacuums (woohoo!). it's super strong, which is the best part, and should last a long time. for daily crumbs I have a cheap stick vacuum that works ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-recommendations#post-2120105 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 14:15:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2120105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So our vacuum just died. It was a cheap dirt devil but lasted five years! </p> <p>I'm looking for something around that $100 mark preferably, but might consider going up to $200 for a higher-quality one. Any recommendations? </p>
