| The Dude and Ozzy in their new tiger fort. |
Our vacuum of 25 years finally bit the dust. (so not funny) I bought an upright bagless vacuum, which provided the giant new tiger fort above. Unfortunately it was only temporary.
 |
| Ozzy: My laser vision senses something uncool. |
Bagless vacs are gross! The fur kept getting stuck every time I went to empty it. If I wanted to stick my hand in a giant pile of fur & dust I'd reach under the couch instead of vacuuming.

| Later, Dude. |
Spring shedding season has officially started, so I had to empty the stupid dust cup 3 times in 15 minutes. I kicked the tigers out of their fort so I could return the vacuum (after cleaning it for 20 minutes).

| It's all for me! I'm not getting out until you get me a paper grocery bag. |
I've been looking at reviews in Consumer Reports & online, but I hate ordering something sight unseen.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good bagged canister vacuum?
We're not much help here, we've got a dyson we've been using for the past 10 tears, but it's starting to go. We'll be needing recommendations soon too!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThank you for following us by the Google friend connection thingy, we are now following you too.
Good luck finding a good vacuum! We have a Shark, and we love it, but it is bagless. It does have both a top and bottom door on the dirt/dust cup, so we never have to touch the stuff to get it out. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry we have a bagless Dyson and it works well for us. Good luck. Have a marvellous Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Oh gosh, vacuums...I think I hate them all!
ReplyDeleteI hate vacuums. Ours is bagless andd we are hoping it will die soon; after all, it is slowly falling apart. We have no idea what we would buy to replace it. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI have an old Hoover Elite. I got it for free on Craigslist! Been going strong for 3 years of sucking up dirt and dog hair. It is the style with the long narrow bag that takes forever to fill up.
ReplyDeleteGlad I read Rachel's comment because I was beginning to give up hope such a thing existed. We have a Dyson we bought a few years ago and, while it's a great vac for sucking up dirt, like you, I am beyond grossed out when the hair and schmeg gets stuck in the cup and I have to clean it out.
ReplyDeleteI'm allergic to dust and that was why we bought this particular vacuum - it had high ratings for sucking up dust. Did no one think that maybe the person who needs a good dust vac might also not want to be reaching into the thing to pull it all out? Arg! I have committed to keeping it until it dies but never said I wouldn't be performing chants over it every night to help it on its way. :(
Hey, I found the Eureka Mighty Mite Pet Lover vacuum on Amazon for $75 with free shipping! 36 bags were only $24 and one bag did the whole house. The hose seems a little flimsy, but the power paw did a great job getting fur off the couch. I might have to do a post on it!
