I have to buy a new hoover. People, help me out. What kind of vacuums have you got? How well do they work? What do you recommend?

ETN: How does one lose Wales?!* To quote Bricktop: How could you lose him, he's not a set of car keys. It's not like he's incon-fucking-spicuous.

No advice at all, as thatis my husband's department.

Just to say, don't you find it interesting that you are after a Hoover, which is a brand name, but almost certianly won't buy one of theirs.

I wonder how much tha tpisses them off? They have the word, but not the sales!

I have yet to buy a good one! *grump* I seem to pick the worst one in the shop - every fucking time.

They've all been those upright ones though, and my mum swears by her Henry, but I don't know if they have those over there.

I've got a Miele S314 (I think ). It's kind of expensive but I normally hate vacuuming and with this one I really don't mind it that much. It has a hepa filter and everything on it still works (including the retracting cord) after three years.

Wunderbar? You're like the second person i've ever met who uses that phrase.

the first being my mother.

Also, Wales? *cries with laughter*

Have you ever heard me use that phrase except for right there?

My parents got a Dyson a couple months ago and absolutely love it. I mean, ridiculous amounts. I got multiple demonstrations of its coolness when I was home last month. They've been looking for a good vacuum for years, now, and they're finally satisfied. While I'm not entirely ready to spend $350-$400 for a vacuum myself, when I am, I was impressed enough that it will be a Dyson. For what that's worth.

Yes! I did give in and splurge, and I so adore my Dyson. My previous vacuum was a Hoover, and this one shows it up humiliatingly in almost every possible way (I admit to missing some of the Hoover's attachments). I can't say enough about how cool it is, so yes, ridiculous amounts of love here too. :)

We just bought a dirt devil upright. I've used it once and after I figured out how to turn it on, it seemed fine. My husband's the wife in this family.

Good luck finding something that sucks.

I hear that RayK sucks really well. Damn good, in fact. His mouth is the fucking prototype for Hoover.

*cough*

El Jay has been overrun with dS over the last two weeks; I know you're not trying to wave any bunnies in my face, young lady.

Quoting Eddie *and* Snatch in the same post? Lord, is there any reason for me not to adore you?

I gave up on regular vacuums after my Bissel caught on fire and burned a hole in my rug...and I just bought a shop vac. You can get the carpet attachment and they'll suck up ANYTHING.

Wow. Poor Wales. I bet Prince Charles is mad.

And you know what, actually being in Wales makes it all the more shocking. I was in Cardiff today and the local news was interviewing a shopkeeper about the whole thing. People are a little ticked.

How does it feel to know you're some place that doesn't exist? *shakes head*

A little freeing, actually. ::grin:: Or possibly freezing. both work.
