Title: Vacuums
Post by: cnamon on July 19, 2005, 10:58:51 AM
I am looking for a small vacuum that is good on hardwood floors and area rugs.  Any suggestions?

I would also like to have some kind of cleaning attachment that goes with it.

At the beach house they had this nifty cordless hardwood/carpet vacuum thingie.  No attachments, but it was damn cool.

No.  I don't.  But I don't want a Roomba.  I am not that lazy.

We got a Lindhaus (http://www.lindhaususa.com/) brand with one head for carpet and one head for hardwood floors/tile. It is wonderful.

I bought this one from Amazon.

It has what I basically need.  My house is too small for a full sized vac.

I think my vacuum was made around 1974.

I went to buy a vacuum at Target today and the bastiges would'nt take my check.  BRAND NEW FUCKING BANK ACCOUNT.  So, I'm vacuum-less in a house with a long haired black dog who's shedding.

:(

OK.  Went back to Target with cash.  Purchased a Dirt Devil Vision Turbo.  Seems to really suck.  *snort*  Ahhh... I crack myself up.

$99, bagless, headlight, turbo hose attachment (there's a spinny brush in the handheld upholstery thing)  Kinda noisy, but damn it works great on the dog hair.

Plus it's glittery purple.  Maybe burgundy.  I dunno- it sparkles.

I'd give it a 4 out of 5.

Hey OBB!  While you're around, how about telling us how the stair vacuuming went.

He's probably gone already.
