Re: Recommend your vacuum
Electro-lux....expensive but worth it!
Had a Dyson and HATED it...don't know what all the hoopla is about them.

Re: Recommend your vacuum
I have the Dyson Ball and I love it. It has 3 attachments I LOVE - the one that goes under the refrigerator and the one that vacs under my bed,etc. without me having to get on the floor and one that vacs my furniture/stairs. I do have an Electrolux - it has the canister with the hose - it's not an upright - at my house upstate and I like it, it's fine for when we vacation but I couldn't use it everyday.
I prefer the Dyson at home. I have limited storage for it at home and I think the upright takes up less space and all the "accessories" attach to the upright, I don't have to store them somewhere else either. I don't like dragging around the hose of the canister type vac either. I like the canister to empty, I have 3 dogs and lots of dog hair and the Dyson is awesome for that. I don't like bags. I'd go through a bag a day, at least.
I don't know how often you have to vacuum. I vac everyday - honestly, I could do it 2x per day because of the dogs.
I think you have to ask yourself:
1. What am I vac'ing - pets/kids, etc. - am I going to vac everyday?
2. Storage space?
3. What kind of attachments doyou think you'll need?
4. Going from carpet to non-carpet flooring - doyou have to change the head or is there a button to change? (I have to change the head on my Electrolux - it's older. My Dyson there is a switch)
5. Bags vs. emptying a canister?
It's funny, but a vacuum cleaner is a very personal choice! Good luck with yours!

My mom loves hers too.
We both had an Electrolux (from 2005), hers broke and she replaced it with a Miele and is so happy with it - she likes it so much better. She had Electrolux vacuums since before I was born that lasted years but, she said the newer ones weren't built as well.
