My 5 year old Hoover Windtunnel just bit the dust I've been looking at a lot of vacuum cleaners but I can't make a decision as to which one will last me the longest. Do any of you have recommendations? My spending limit is below 500$ (and i believe that was set to be a FIRM limit :rolling: )


BTW: I've been looking at these two

Choice of vacuum may depend on the surface you're going to be vac'ing.

Dyson, surely. Hoover, tends to break, framework is somewhat weak plastic.

Lots of choices. How's 'bout sale prices? May be the deciding factor.

Thanks for the replies. Right now it looks like that Dyson will last the longest and be best for what I need. My carpet is a medium thickness and requires quite a bit of suction to pick up the dirt.

I don't know about the dyson, Looked at them but really...... Same plastic crap as the others at twice the price. And the hose wand thing seems overly complicated. Seems like good theory of operation but many others have the same thing now. Dyson just comes out of nowhere and claims to be superior.

I have Bissell which works very well, my second one. I killed the first after the construction vacing up drywall dust. Lots of drywall dust. About $80 at walmart which means I can buy 7 for the price of one dyson.

Like we use to say at GE. "You can buy better but you can't pay more."

Central vacuum works great, and a BIG canister in the basement.

Plus, and this is a plus, the exhaust is to the out-of-doors.

I vote for a central vacuum system although, out of your price range.
