What is a cheap but strong vacuum, and where can I get it?

Question

I don't have any rugs in my house, I mostly want a vacuum for getting pet hair off the couch, so the hose attachment is necessary. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Get a Kirby at a pawnshop, they are awesome vacuums and will last forever. Orecks are good too. Bissel, and Eureka will last a year or 2 and the stupid filters cost 60% of the purchase price.

Answer 2

There is one on tv. I forgot what it is called, but it is foldable.

Answer 3

I got a small one at wal mart for $40.00. It's a bissel wind tunnel type & works great.

Answer 4

I have personally never been impressed with upright vacuums.  Yeah, I know things like power brooms are light weight and very small, but they just don't seem to get it.

We have a house full of hardwood.  My favorite is a Kenmore canister vac that I've owned for something like 20 years.  Sears still sells them (one of the few places to buy a canister); updated and sleeker looking but still pretty much the same vacuum.  It's got very good suction, everything is done with the hose and wand, and replacing the bag is a snap.  We have two dogs and this vac does a fine job picking up hair.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Ideally Panasonic Upright Vacuum Cleaners are best for removing pet hair they are light and easy to maneuver and last a long time and are very reliable any vacuum dealer sells these vacuums for a low price

Another idea for cleaning pet hair off of furniture is to moisten a sponge with water do not saturate sponge and rub downward on the furniture this will remove the pet hair like magic Good Luck !
