[@dysonobsessed]

well I am 14 years old and what seems boring to you is actually my hobby. I go to flea markets, thrift stores, goodwills, and even pawn shops to look for vacuums (specifically dysons) but any type of high end vacuum and fix them up and clean them up and refurbish them. then when I'm done with all that I either add it to my collection or sell it to make a pretty penny.

[@jadenadessa9487]

[@franzentena]

I also use a mask when cleaning my vacuum to prevent these tiny particles of dust to be inhaled. I am highly allergic to them. And even if you're not, they are really bad to your health so make sure you are protected

[@flutistnotflautist4740]

A seam ripper works really well to clean up a brush roller/beater bar. I find it even easier than snipping hair and thread off with scissors.

Thanks for the tip! Sounds safer than a knife or scissors. Haha

[@serpentarius51]

I LOVE my Dyson ! I LOVE it SO much, that I bought a second one for the second floor ! I love the fact that everything you will need is already on the machine. No digging through...which closet ?? I love the way it comes apart for cleaning and if something does get stuck, you can get to it very easily. I've had expensive vacs in the past, Filter Queen $1500. A Kirby $1500. and my mother's old Hoover. NONE of them worked as well as my Dyson.

[@Kitsune-DAS]

To clean the INSIDE of the vacuum, you can use something like the drain weasel to pull out stuck hair from the attached tube/pipe. You can also use a long radiator brush. BE CAREFUL NOT TO PUNCTURE YOUR HOSE - try to straighten and compress it before putting anything in. Biggest tip: once everything else is clean, dry, and reattached, pour a cup or two of baking soda over a square foot of (clean) carpet and vacuum it up. It lightly scours the inside and also deodorizes it.

[@yellyukulelly7334]

Thanks! Good idea to freshen up the vacuum. :)

[@kristinamarks7111]

So glad you did this video. I was planning to clean my mattress but was grossed out at the thought of putting my vacuum on the bed & yet it never occurred to me to clean the vacuum cleaner. Now I know where to begin. Thanks again

[@yellyukulelly7334]

Great idea to use the vacuum on beds!

[@bristolmichele321]

I love your videos, they are a great resource for me. I may be a little odd,, but I actually enjoy cleaning. I vacuum every day on the main floor, with my cordless Dyson which I absolutely love ( I have three dogs and a cat, plus grandchildren) but I also have a Shark Upright that I use for deeper cleaning. In fact I have a Shark vacuum in my basement, the main floor and the upper floor where the bedrooms are. Only issue I have with vacuuming is, my hubby can’t stand the sound of it, so I always wait until he is out running errands etc. Then I vacuum. I also try to mop the floors whilst he is out. SO they are clean for a little while at least.Another thing I enjoy doing, or should say I enjoy the finished product, is cleaning my stove top. My husband cooks a lot, God bless him, but I clean up after every meal. He tends to be a somewhat messy cook and there are always spills and ‘stuff’ on the gas stove top. I love taking it apart and cleaning it and when it goes back together, to see the clean surfaces is a joy to me. weird, I know.

[@whitetyger06]

I use a shark vacuum and I love it! IMO, the suction is just as good as a dyson and its cheaper too!

[@dianasanchez117]

Which one?

[@whitetyger06]

Shark Navigator DLX

[@patmcmillan5061]

I have the Shark professional rotator I love it too.

[@MamaMac_]

I love my Dyson. I have four teenage boys, and having a cordless absolutely increases the chances that they vacuum their bedrooms! Not having to trip over a cord is worth it’s weight in gold, and the ease of use makes sweeping, and just kicking dust back up into the air a thing of the past. 😁

[@terrirandall7898]

I have a robotic vacuum. It's amazing. It's not a Roomba because they are too expensive. So I found a good one at Walmart (iLife A4s) for less than $200. I have it scheduled to vacuum every morning. It runs for about 2 hours and cleans my 1300 sq ft home and returns to it's base when it's done. I clean out the dust bin every other day which takes me about 30 seconds. It's part of my nightly cleaning routine. My hardwood floors and area rugs always look amazing. Btw, I have dogs.

[@picantesworld7723]

Melissa, glad you guys decided to do this video. Truth is I hate vacuuming too, that was the chore I was always given since I'm a child! 😝 But, nevertheless, we tend to just worry emptying the canister or changing out the bag, and nobody thinks of actually cleaning the parts of the equipment. It's true making it clean as if you just bought it, will be beneficial in the long run! 😊

[@cleanmyspace]

Exactly! From one vacuum hater to another...enjoy!

[@elynbeth]

I just bought the new DC8. I used to hate vacuuming because I could not stand cord management. Now, I grab it on almost a daily basis. I have pretty much been able to stop sweeping. I'm obsessed with it!

[@Stephanie-rf9xs]

I have 2 Riccar vacuums and love them! I change the filters yearly as manufacturer recommended. I will NEVER use any other brand of vacuum.

[@stariamorris640]

I loved “your Latin lover Manuel”. I bought the low end Dyson V6 after seeing you use the Dyson brand. I love that it is so light and that it is cordless, I have literally had wrestling matches with my Shark and the cord. I do wish the Dyson charge lasted a little longer, but I can deal with it. We live in a small townhouse and I am always looking how to reduce in size of items.

[@CimmerianFire]

I have a Dyson upright, and a Dyson cordless. Both are amazing! Dysons are pricey, yes, but worth every dime if you can find room in your budget. Thank you for this video, it's time to clean both of my vacuums.

[@dawnfaddish5859]

I have the shark professional that I absolutely LOVE! It easily comes apart in so many places to clean clogs. The suction is great. My all time favorite vacuum and I have had a lot that were terrible. BTW love all you videos!!

[@dawnfaddish5859]

Forgot to mention my shark was waaayyyyyy cheaper than a Dyson. Even if I had money to me Dyson is like a designer handbag; too much money for a name.

[@Montserrat708]

I had a Dyson 6 which I loved, except that I had many problems with the battery. Does it harm the battery if you keep it plugged in all the time? What's the suggestion on preserving the battery life? Thanks for your very informative videos.

[@humorous2me]

I have this vacuum also and enjoy it.

[@JustJennie147]

I have the Shark Navigator Swivel Plus. It's the less expensive version of the Lift Away. I was coming from having used a $250 Electrolux Nimble that finally died & I found the Shark vacuums during my months of research. But I'd never owned a Shark so I was scared to spend over $200 again on one, so I bought this cheaper version (was about $115) thinking if I liked it in a year or so I'll upgrade to one of the Lift Away's. Happy to say I love this Shark vacuum! I do not miss having a headlight like I thought I would & it's SO much lighter! My Electrolux was a BEAST it was so very heavy, good exercise I guess though. Can't wait to try one of the Lift Away's some day.

I have a Dyson. Best vacuum I've ever owned. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats and carpets take a beating from them. It amazes me the amount of stuff my Dyson vacuums up. The first time I used it I had to empty the canister so many times. I had a high-end Electralux before and I thought it did a good job....lots of bags to always buy. Yes the Dyson is expensive but the fact that you don't have to buy bags (and run out of 'em) eventually evens out the cost.........My son bought me the little hand-held Dyson for Christmas (sweet boy) and it does a great job too. Now I'm gonna clean 'em up. Thanks for another good video my dear.

[@cleanmyspace]

Glad you liked it and hope you are well, Gayle!

[@tiffanyblack4233]

I've had a Dyson, but I broke pretty much as soon as the warranty ran out. So, now I have a Shark Navigator & I'm very happy with it. It was much less expensive, works great on my carpet & tile, keeps up with my crazy long hair & my huskies, and still has a 2 year warranty. I empty the collection canister multiple times while cleaning, but that's because I have huskies. And I clean the filter probably once a month. I've never cleaned the other parts, but I haven't had it for 6 months yet. I don't hate vacuuming. Happy cleaning :-)

The very first time I used a sewing quick unpick tool for getting hair out of the power head. It is three times faster. Slide it through the three grooves and it's a easy from there.

[@kimhazelwood5337]

I have a cylinder Dyson (14 years old), but it does need regular maintenance and cleaning. Professionally, I have a Numatic 'Henry' cleaner which has filter bags which are easy to remove and replace. The suction is great and it can keep working for hours on end!

[@scrunchymommabear5877]

I have a Dyson and I love it! had it for 9 years now and it still works great...we had 2 cats and a dog and people would always be surprised by that because they didn't see the hair

[@ShellyDub1]

If you decide to buy a Dyson, I’d suggest buying direct. They will almost always match prices (I don’t think they sell refurbs, but not 100%). Plus, you get free attachments that I haven’t found anywhere else. I do usually buy filters from other places.

[@PossiblyAlena]

I find putting the wet vacuum filter next to a dehumidifier helps it fully dry out super efficiently. You still wanna give it a decent amount of time to dry, but it definitely speeds it up

[@DoctorsSong]

We use Shark vacuum cleaners. They work really well and have great suction.

[@CarolynFahm]

I have an Electrolux Ergorapido Ion which I love. I cannot manage a heavy cleaner and this one has a detachable hand vac with is quite useful. It isn't meant for heavy pile rugs, but it works on my low pile carpeting and is brilliant on hard floors. And, it is light enough in weight for me to use comfortably.

[@kimhefley1683]

I have a shark vacuum and I really like it. love the canister, easy to dump, removable/washable filters and it's got good suction

[@BlueKoinu]

I was given a Dyson canister vacuumn 5 years ago and it has been the best little machine I have ever owned in regards to appliances. It's trusty and still has the same suction strength as the day I pulled it out of the box. My only wish for it was that it was more left handed friendly but c'est la vie.

[@chrisiestevens1143]

I have a Hoover Whole House Elite vacuum. I replaced my Bissell(s) with this one because they just were not effective. I am a Navy wife and full time college student so it will be a while for a Dyson. The Hoover works great on collecting the 3 dogs fur and Florida sand that gets tracked in the house. Not the best vacuum out there but it is great for the cost.

[@wakemewhenitsover2010]

I have a Miele Plus that I absolutely love. I bought it in 2001 when I first started making a decent salary, and it’s been my dependable friend ever since. Still going strong after 2 decades! And in serious need of a cleaning since I’ve been doing a move-in clean on a century old home all week. Yikes, the dust and cobwebs in the corners and baseboards …! glad I found this video 😊

[@DianaKim91]

I hate vacuuming because my ears are really sensitive to loud noises so my family decided to invest in a really quiet Miele vacuum that had a lot of suction so the job gets done faster and I don't have to wear ear plugs.

[@arizonarein]

Dyson Animal. I did a head up comparison with my precious vacuum (ore just) and hands down the Dyson outperformed!!! I had two inside dogs and 1 cat. Getting all that hair picked up was possible with the Dyson. The con to the Dyson is it is a bit heavy to maneuver.

[@CantankerousDave]

Perfect timing on this video. My vacuum had been... well... sucking for months in spite of a clean filter. I turned it over to look at the beater head, and sure enough, it was utterly caked with cruft. After snipping at the threads and whatnot that were wound around the drum per your suggestion, I used a dental pick instead of a toothbrush to tease the matted crud out of the bristle strips themselves. It took 15 or 20 minutes and made quite a mess, but it's clean as a whistle downstairs now. My carpets are now no longer coated with dust and little tufts of cat hair left behind by the vacuum. I could get used to this.

[@MustHaveDunkin]

I have the Dyson Animal and I love it! My vacuuming routine includes listening to my kids complain about the noise and continually asking me if I'm done yet. So, vacuuming isn't ranked among my favorite activities. Thanks for the video. We have dogs and I was wondering how to get rid of the dog smell that results when I vacuum. I had no idea the Dyson came apart like that.

[@corzinc]

That filter you rinsed off first comes apart and you’ll be surprised the amount of crap that comes out of it. Use compressed air on the filters too.

[@sysop224]

I have a Dyson V6 Animal that I bought second-hand a couple of months ago - and it's wonderful! No heavy thing to drag around/re plug/ blah blah. I empty it every day (vacuum through twice a day - tiny house/many people ) Easy peasy to store, easy to maneuver, and good for my trick back. I love it, it the best thing I've ever bought.

[@dward2407]

I have an older Bissel, bagless. I hate vacuuming, but have had this one for a long time. Just like anything else, maintaining and cleaning your stuff, helps with the longevity. Still runs great. I use one of those, I think it's called, a seam ripper for sewing, to get the hair and fibers off the beater brush, works great. Have a great day.

[@cleancare1]

I've had an Oreck XL for 6 years. My wife has back problems and wanted something light. It is very light, but it also is a hard worker. Our dog constantly sheds. Hair falls off him when he's just standing there looking at you!. How can he not be bald? We should be able to watch it grow the hair seems to replace itself so fast. But it's no problem for the Oreck. Plus, we got a 10 year service plan with it. Bring it to an Oreck dealer once per year and they replace the belts and clean everything out for free. They even install a new, free vacuum bag! And that is another thing I love about it. I hate those dusty canisters. Hypo-allergenic vacuum bags are so easy to just pull out and throw way. No dust flying everywhere! The Oreck service store offered us a trade-in on the new model during our last annual service. Its new feature is that it is self propelled. But our current vacuum is so light, we didn't feel swayed by the self propel feature and we didn't take his offer! I also own a carpet cleaning company and use a commercial Oreck with great results for vacuuming before I clean carpet.

[@donnaw.8607]

I have a Bissell little green and I empty it almost every time i use it (although I don’t have to) and I wash the filter and canister maybe once a month. It’s surprising to me how strong the suction is, and living in a tiny apartment, I love how small yet powerful it is. Btw, mine is a commercial model that I got on special, I don’t know how it compares to the domestic version.

[@CRod8545]

Dyson Upright DC33...bought it about 5 yrs ago at Costco on sale...best vacuum I'll ever own...I love the fact when you vacuum a hard surface the dirt doesn't shoot out onto your feet. Multiple attachments and pull aparts hoses make cleaning easy for me..I maintain mine often just as you showed although I've never taken apart my canister...first time for everything

[@mdteders]

We have three vacuumcleaners; one for every floor of our house. Husband wanted one of them to be a Dyson, and I agreed under the consition that HE would clean the canister (because in my eyes that job is perhaps even MORE lousy than the actual vacuuming itself...). Personaly, the 'Dyson Magic' eludes me.

[@daphnesg9517]

I have a robot vacuum cum mop in one machine for years. My BFF for home cleaning, it’s a must! It can even tackle areas like below furniture which we don’t or can’t reach out to and we dun have to bend or squat down to clean like other vacuum cleaner. Also, it’s automatic! Just leave it there to run while we do other chores!

[@cleanmyspace]

When's the last time you cleaned your vacuum filter?

[@thamihw89]

I also purchased a couple of additional cleaning tools: Articulating Hard Floor Tool, Stiff Brush Tool and the Flat Out Tool. I LOVE the Articulating Hard Floor Tool! A broom is no longer needed for my kitchen/eating area. The Flat Out Tool allows you to get under furniture really well. Previously I used Hoovers and they were okay too.

I can just take mine off the charger and vacuum the floor, no problem. It's not a heavy duty vacuum but it does well on my carpets and tile. I would definitely recommend spending the extra money to get one of these!

I use a robo vac (iLive A4s) that is scheduled to run every morning. It's much cheaper than the Roomba and it does a good job. I have dogs and it picks up pet hair. My dog barks at it when it gets near her dog bed but, it's a small price to pay for having dust-free and dirt-free floors. I also clean the dirt bin during my nightly routine. The bin cleaning takes about a minute. I hate to vacuum too.

[@ancac4362]

I have a Dyson, a portable Bosch and a regular Rowenta. Nothing beats Dyson. I just love it. It came with 2 bateries so that makes my life 10x easier.

[@rosemariealvarado9902]

I have a rainbow vacuum. My husband bought a reconditioned one in 1978 for 100$ and has replaced parts twice. It's a breeze to clean and since it uses water as the filter no extra expenses. New ones are terribly expensive but I found a year old one at a estate sale for $75; bought it for the power head. It cleans deeply. The only drawback is you must not leave water in it and it must be assembled each time. I wouldn't have another!!

[@devineglen]

The hubs and me both swore by Kenmore canisters for decades. We both grew up with them. Well…the quality went way downhill so we bought a Dyson at Target Black Friday sale three years ago and never looked back. My husband is an impeccable cleaner. I on the other hand, not so much. He calls me the “wiper downer” 🤣

[@jamieleuschner8874]

We have a Dyson Animal vacuum and love it! With two inside dogs it is a godsend!! It has amazing suction power and every time I empty out the canister I am amazed at what it picks up and the amount of actual dirt that comes out of our rugs. I do empty it after each use which I find helpful. It may have cost us a lot upfront to purchase but the payoff is definitely worth it. Thanks for sharing this video.....

[@aprilis92]

I have a Eureka vacuum. I bought it at Walmart (I got the pink one!) it was around 70$ in 2012 and it works great. The filter is a sponge material, so it's easy to clean. I love to sprinkle arm and hammer baking soda carpet refresher first, wait 15 minutes, then vacuum it up. It makes my place extra nice for when I have company coming.

[@bellonjm07]

We have a Dyson DC33 Multifloor Upright. Love it. Great motor. Great on carpet, vinyl floors. Suggest a more compact vac for stairs though since it is heavy. It's balanced unlike the models with the ball. Highly recommend.

[@melissaCgreenwood]

I'm lazy but have three cats so I need to vacuum pretty much everyday. I have a Roomba and clean it after every use but its not so bad since it does most of the work :) I still need to do a deep vacuum once a week, but it get rids of 90% of the dirt and I would NEVER vacuum everyday without it!

[@jule90k]

[@yvonnesiber9803]

I have the Eureka Pet vacuum. It is a canister type and I love the job it does. However, the stretch hose is not long enough, the tool carrier won't stay on and the "pet paw" is held on to the unit by a button magnet which isn't strong enough, and the dust collector is difficult to replace after emptying. But I like the performance, it's a beast! I just washed the filter about a month ago.

Right when you said "cleaning your vacuum seems like a ...", my phone gave that noise when the battery starts to drain :D That kind of annoying, sad sound. Perfect timing.

[@dannialwilliams4]

I use a 15 year old bissell. Regularly maintain it and replaced the filters and belt every 6 months. When I vacuum, I make sure not to ram it into thinks like I see a lot of people do. So mine is still in great shape, works like new. I vacuum every 3-4 days and still pull up at lease half a bin of dog hair and fine dirt and sand. Living in the central valley in california.

I always loved cleaning the vacuum since I was young. I was the only one who kept it clean in my family.

[@terrijohnston9153]

I have a dyson animal vacuum and I love it. This video was a great help. Thank you for showing me how to clean it.

[@MsLLL89]

I clean houses for a living and I use a shark navigator love most of the shark products. Vaccuu a that have a long hose and you have to drag around are so heavy we call them the dead dog vacuums because you just drag it everywhere lol love your videos

[@karih5806]

I have a Dyson V6, and love it! My husbond was quite negative to it in the beginning, but then he saw it used in Buckingham Palace, London on TV. That changed his opinion of it :)

[@jennisleavingobesity1062]

Rainbow (water filter) vacuum is amazing, ours is 25+ years old and still going strong. Unfortunately, it’s a bit heavy now, makes my shoulders hurt. I find a vacuum cleans better when you actually use it, go figure.

[@amandaingraham3244]

I have two Mieles! An upright for upstairs (all carpet) and a canister for downstairs (hardwoods and rugs). I love them both more than a person should love a vacuum. I also adore having a bag again, after years of canister type containers. My upright is actually in the shop because I DIDN'T clean it when I should have and the poor thing needs a spa day.

[@calliope1818]

Vacuuming is my favorite part of cleaning. I currently own a Bissell Powerglide Lift-Off Pet vacuum, and it's a really powerful vacuum for how budget friendly it is. However once I save up enough money I will probably switch to a Dyson. Either the Cinetic Big Ball canister, or if I move by then, the Dyson Small Ball.

[@lmlykana]

I have a Dyson cordless animal edition and I love it. Its easy to use, lightweight and works perfect on both carpet or tile. And I clean it every time after I use it.

[@RebelAlliance42]

I have the upright model of your Dyson, I love it so much, it was a birthday present from my husband about 4 years ago, just recently I discovered how to detach the canister from the motor for cleaning... it's like I have a brand new vacuum cleaner again!! 😂😂 lol but I do take very good care of it and I clean it out at least every 3 months or whenever it needs it.

[@teresamartin4735]

I have a Rainbow cleaner. I've been using it for 16 years. The maintenance is a fraction of the effort this woman needs to do. It is a water canister, so it *NEVER* loses suction. I just dump it into the toilet and rinse it out. I do wash it with soapy water sometimes. It is typically 3x the cost of other cleaners but so much worth it. I use the wet squidgy to suck up the water when I wash floors.

[@servant74]

We have hard floors throughout, but we have dogs that shed. We first sweep then we vacuum. We have tried uprights but go back to using a shopvac. Ok, it does sound like I live in a garage, but it allows picking up almost everything on the floor, and we empty it after a day long session. We did purchase HEPA filters for the vacuums that are Teflon/PTFE coated so they are fairly easy to clean with a few taps (or more aggressive taps, and this is ALL OUTSIDE) on a flat surface gets most of the stuff out. Often I use the air compressor (outside) and blow through the filter from the inside to the outside. That gets lots of fine stuff. Then I gently wash the outside of the filter with plain water and let dry. If I would put a cloth bag over the filter inside the vac, it would keep larger chunks out of the filter. Every 2 or 3 years I replace the HEPA filters, or just start using them for 'garage only' use. I empty the hair/dirt after every day long use, and do the filter cleaning whenever I start smelling the dog hair when the vacuum is on. I also wear hearing protection (nothing bulky but it cuts the noise several Db) while vacuuming. We have several small shopvac's. One on each floor (I hate carrying the vac's up and down stairs). When transporting the filters, I put them in a separate plastic bag from the general VAC effluent, just to get them outside for cleaning the filters.

[@stephanysanchez5531]

I have a shark rotator powered lift away deluxe. it has a bunch of attachments and I love that the canister comes off in case you need to get under furniture. Also, it's pretty lightweight compared to other vacuums I've used and since I'm only 5ft it's a good size. Also the suction and power behind it is amazing. I swear using it on carpet feel like it pulls me a little. I hot a really good deal on it for about 180, but usually I think it's over 300.

[@jessicabroeske4523]

A dyson longest vacuum we've ever had. Which is about 10 years, I'm in love with it! Highly recommend it!

[@xSprupx]

I got myself a Eureka a few years ago for 350 bucks on sale. It has a ton of little features and the main selling point was "better suction than dyson".. while this has proven true, over my old dyson animal, you do have to keep it clean to maintain the suction so this vacuum cleaning chore is done once a month in my home. I make a game and clean the fridge, stove, and behind the washer and drying the same day lol!

[@Theaustincollier]

I have a Dyson Ball Multi Floor that I love!!! Actually I just cleaned it out a few days ago, I normally wash the canister out and clean off the brushroll every 3 months when I wash the filters just to keep it looking fresh and clean and performing at it's best.

[@kassandramiller8845]

I use to have a dirt devil that was only $50 and felt like it wasnt doing a good enough job even with keeping it clean. So after watching your videos I finally got a dyson hand held which I love and is enough to do my whole house. Thank you so much. If your think why would i spend that much on a vacuum trust me i thought the same but now that I own one I will never use a different brand again. Theres always sales and deals on these vacuums so if your in the market just keep an eye out.

[@sebo_man_2072]

If you have a bag vacuum all you have to do is take the bag out put a new one in and your all done. Don't have to waste time taking it apart and washing it. Also don't have to deal with all the dirt and dust

[@wendyp8488]

Yes, but you have to keep buying new bags. That's why i got a bagless. I don't find emptying the canister to be that hard. It also depends on what each individual finds easiest.

[@kaffepojke]

I recently purchased a Shark UV-795 (the Costco model) and I love it!

[@katietatey]

I actually love my vacuum. I have a Dyson DC14 animal I've had for about 14 years, and it's still going strong. I don't mind cleaning it because it always pays off and works better. I also have a newer Dyson V7 Trigger handheld that's about a year old. I wish I could remember to wear a dust mask when cleaning them though, because I always forget and then have bad allergies for a day or so. :) Sudafed to the rescue!

[@saphyreXice]

We have hardwood floors and laminate so we don't actually own one. But I love CMS so I watched anyway. Also: Not the same but similar: Melissa I HATE sweeping and mopping so hubby does it for me. We are lucky to have great guys who will tackle out most hated chores.

[@kathymills1925]

I have a Shark Rotator Liftaway. I really like it. I had always had a canister vacuum (and used cloth bags) until I adopted a German Shepherd, or should I say, German Shedder and the bags got too expensive. So frequent vacuuming is a necessity!

[@jaynematzkinhair8830]

I used to HATE vacuuming!!!! HATE IT!! I've always tried to have the best one. First Electrolux. Dragging that canister around. (insert Melissa's voice here.) "Such a drag". And then we got a Kirby. Why so heavy? UGH! And then I got a Dyson. OMG I now love to vacuum. It's so easy! No cord to deal with. Stores away so easily. I'll clean it for the first time this week after watching this video now that I know how. Thank you!

[@Anne9768]

I have a Dyson DC 50 Animal lightweight electric which is very powerful and lovely to use as it is nice and light. I also have the Dyson V6 purple Animal rechargable and the Dyson V6 fluffy Animal. Both have 20 minutes vacuuming time on ordinary setting, but with the extra boost button, it has 15 minutes. I also have a hand held one for stairs, without the wand, although the ones with the wand do the same job.

[@Buggyismellow]

If you have any amount of pets, getting a pet vacuum is a MUST! I got a bissel for pets for only $100, and I LOVE it! I vacuum twice a week and use the appropriate high, it gets super dusty if you are not keeping up with regular maintenance but so worth the money, as compared to a $500+ model that does the same thing essentially. I had a dyson and am not a fan anymore. This one on the first use fill two 10 gallon trash bags of dirt and hair, that my dyson was not getting. It wasn't even old, and resented sent in for repairs. But the bissel clear view pet, is a must for pets, and allergy control in my opinion. I would probably died of I didn't get it haha!!

[@545el]

I have a Dyson 37c because clean my space Melissa said Dysons are great, and it is, the best vacuum cleaner I've ever had. It seems to make the air clean....it's even better than the stationary vacuum cleaner that throwed the dust outdoors. And no paper bags. Yay.
