Q:I have a pug that sheds constantly and I have gone through a few vacuum cleaners.

Dyson animal vacuum cleaner is a good choice

Q:Just today, one nearly ate me alive! It's a conspiracy I tell ya!! The vacuums have been specially engineered to kill off a third of the worlds population!!!! AND THEY ARE STARTING WITH ME!!!!

i believe they are Steve just like my dog is getting violent really my new puppy hates me

Q:Where is the cheapest place to find a Dyson vacuum cleaner? I missed out on a sale at HomeDepot and am kicking myself for it! Anyone know someplace good?? They usually retail for $399. Thanks!

Dyson's don't perform as well as many much lower priced vacuums according to Consumer Reports. They rate them just middle of the pack with much better vacuums for less money (Kenmore Progressive with Direct Drive, Hoover Windtunnel, Eureka Boss Smart, Riccar Supralite).

Q:Which do you own more of?

Obviously it's brooms since vacuums suck.

Q:Are Kirby vacuum cleaners worth it?

They are absolutely worth it if you own your house and care about cleanliness, and the life of your floor covering. I have done side by side tests using many many different vacuums, including dyson, electrolux, oreck, rainbow, and all the junk ones you can buy at department stores...using test pads. the only vacuum that even came close in value was a central vac. other than that, kirby is by far the best IF you can afford one.

Q:Vacuum Cleaners? What is better bagless or bags. What can I get for $100.oo?

Definitely bagless. I have a Dyson, the most amazing vacuum I've ever had but also the most expensive. In the $400 range. My sister got one just like mine on Craigs list for $75 !! Have a look

Q:i need it for picking up guinea pig droppings. i've built an indoor pen, with safe soil and grass i grew for them to run around in, just because theres dangerous things outside, plus if given the chance they would run away haha... thats how it is ( No matter how much you love them gt;lt;) but im worried, that all the handheld vacuum cleaners i can find claim to be strong, and able to pick up deep.. yaddayadda.. i need something pretty weak, because i dont want to uproot the grass/seeds. any advice?

Whatever you buy, DON'T buy a dry dirt cordless dust buster - if you can, seek out a Wet and Dry model and the cheapest ones with 6V batteries or less will give you a weak suction. Not a lot of hand held cordless dust busters are really that strong - even Dyson ones run out of power after 5 mins! However, You may find that it won't even pick up - a slight downside. Dry dust hand helds are only for dry dust - the wet and dry option has a harder filter that can be used for picking up droppings, plus it's easier to clean out. ALSO, big tip from me - if you are worried about it picking up the grass/seeds, just cut up a pair of old tights and line the mouth of the dust buster into one of the open toe sections - the Lycra allows you to suck up what you want but you'll have to manually remove the droppings : (. It's a trick I learnt when watching a program about the Queen in London! Handy for earrings etc too!

Q:Do they have a problem going from hardwood to carpeted floors. Do they pick up as well as a traditional vacuum? Of six answeres to my original question, three were positive, three negative. Please send me more details.

Robotic vacuums are great nowadays as technology becomes better and better. Yes they can go from room to room and clean on their own.

Q:What's are some good ones that won't break in a year?? Should I go with an industrial strength one (although those are really costly).

I really like my Bissell Healthy Home. It uses a similar filtering technology to Dyson but at 1/2 the price. HEPA filtration, 5 year warranty, well designed, easy to use tools and a ton of suction. Great on pet hair; I have 4 cats and 3 dogs so I know pet hair. Watch for sales at Lowe's, Sears or Best Buy; you can get it for around $200.

Q:Ok so our Dyson hoover has finally given up. We want a new hoover that isn't as heavy as a Dyson. We tried the smaller Dyson's today but they aren't powerful enough because we have 2 pets you see. So we tested the HOOVER DM6228 and that seemed ok. Any reviews or any recommendations of vacuum cleaners? I live in Britain by the way.

My wife LOVES vacuums (we've owned a lot!). The best by far has been the Oreck. Lightweight and it cleans well. Our Dyson crapped out after only a year and my wife never liked it anyway (too heavy)
