I was looking at the Shark. Mean time I was able to fix the 15 year old
Hoover so I never did buy one.

About 8 years ago I bought a Panasonic upright for work. The person
using it thinks it is OK and the offices are clean.

I've got a Dyson Absolute Animal vacuum that we bought maybe 6 years

Get something about 2kW. 1kW simply isn't enough to pull dirt out of a carpet.

Maybe, it's a long time since I had one, which exploded. It sucked up a lot of parrot dropping and seed husks, and something got into the motor..

Jesus they cost a lot, mine was 2nd hand for about £30.

Odd, it says "32mm diameter hose" - they must have reduced it. Mine was about 70mm. That's what I loved about it, the hose never got clogged like most vacuums.

Well even a 1500W vacuum doesn't suck enough to pull dirt out of a carpet, they're pathetic. And the hoses need to be much wider so stuff doesn't get caught in them.

They all suck.

Indeed, they all end up as dust collectors.

Get something about 2kW. 1kW simply isn't enough to pull dirt out of a
carpet.

Like a shop vac?


Maybe, it's a long time since I had one, which exploded. It sucked up a lot
of parrot dropping and seed husks, and something got into the motor.

Here it is, 1500W:

Jesus they cost a lot, mine was 2nd hand for about £30.


Nice shop vac. This is the one I got from Sears...

I've got a Dyson Absolute Animal vacuum that we bought maybe 6 years
ago. It does a great job on carpet.


Thanks Maggs...I'll look at the Dyson line as well this week.


You're welcome. Hope you find what you need.


BTW...shoot Me a email when you can please.

And I wish I didn't have carpet. Especially around the cat box.

Here you go, a link that works. Why didn't yours?

I see no mention of power on that page.

Fellows, it's often easier to just give in to your wife. I mean, what's your word against thousands of hers?

You have a choice.

First thing I did when I purchased my house was rip up all carpeting and
had the hardwood floors refinished. I will never have carpeting.
