Calling All Housewives: I Need a Vacuum that SUCKS

I currently have 4 vacuums... none of which suck. Our home is only about 1100 sq. feet yet I have 2 full-sized vacuums and 2 stick vacs. I remember a time when they all sucked, but now... well, I'm not quite sure what they do except take up prime closet real estate. It seems to take all 4 to get my house clean.


I would so much rather have just one that worked! Here's what I have:

Eureka The Boss Power Plus
This one is probably the best of the 4, even though it's only $39 at Walmart. It's probably 4 years old, so maybe I should just buy a new one?



Dirt Devil Vibe
I bought this about 3 years ago on clearance at Target. I don't think it's still available for sale. I remember being impressed with it at one point in time. Now, I seriously doubt it's picking ANYTHING up!

Bissell Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum
I got this a little over a year ago as a wedding shower gift. I still like it, but it's very loud. It's also very hard to take apart & use as a hand vac.

I don't remember what the other stick vac is and I don't feeling like going to the basement to check. I bought the Bissell to replace it because it wasn't working very well anymore.

So, I need suggestions! Our house is half carpet and half hard wood. I like having a standard vacuum for the big rooms and a stick vac for the bathroom and kitchen. I'd love to hear what you all have & love... or hate!

Thanks in advance for the help!

  1. I've had my Dyson for 10 years now. It still sucks. I still love it. Just some occasional filter cleaning is all I've needed to do on it. It is expensive, but better in the long run. I don't have to replace my vacuum every 2-4 years. Oh, and the Dyson I have can be changed for use on carpet or hardwood.

  2. We also have a Dyson, our house is 2200 sq ft, part carpet and part tile. We had a dog that sheds like crazy and 2 grandbabies. Our Dyson is about 5 yr old and still works so nice.
    I love the cannister that is easy to empty after each use.
    about the filter - my hubby blows ours clean with his air compressor about 2 times a year.

    Dysons are expensive, I think ours was $500 or so.

  3. My vacuum stopped sucking a few years ago, so I pulled it apart as much as I knew....and then I kept taking more parts off. The result was I found a filter I had not known existed and it was covered an inch think in cat hair. It took almost a half hour to clean it (remove hairballs, and beat the thing outside until no more dust came off, then wash and dry by hand). The result was a vacuum that sucked like a pro!! And it was only a $50 model. Perhaps there is a secret filter that nobody wants you to know about? Can you find specs for your model online?
