I need to buy a new vacuum cleaner. I've had an Oreck for 5 or 6 years and I have never really liked it. Any suggestions? I was thinking about a Dyson. Does anyone have one of those. Thanks for the help.
say what KE?
Ive never had a good vacuum. they all sucked.
LOL One of the ways my dad sometimes shows people that suction isn't the biggest selling point in a vacuum (the beater bar, etc. are very important for carpets) was that he used a clean vacuum cleaner hose and just using his mouth on one end, he lifted a bowling ball.We too were taken in by the Oreck hype-I suppose if I ever spill a bunch of 8# bowling balls I'll feel differently.
I think that's Rainbow brand. You can't find them in stores. I remember a salesman coming to our home about 20 years ago showing them off. They seemed like they would do a good job but they were very expensive. I think at that time they were well above the $800 mark and with little kids we just didn't have the money. I remember being impressed with them though.i dont know the name buy my mom has some that works with water.. and its exelent
LOL Good advice. I started my last post awhile ago and was delayed in posting, so I just didn't want you to think I was copying your advice!I did a lot of research a few years ago and ended up with a Lindhaus. As mentioned before you need a good brush.

Go around to a few different vacuum stores and see what is out there. DO NOT go to your local box store, they do not know anything.
If I was going to buy one at this point it would probably be a Miele. Canister Products: Vacuum Cleaners by Miele:**Form & Function in Perfect Harmony™
