Canister vacuum vs. upright vacuum?

[Bernadine]

Pros/cons?  Any specific one you'd recommend?  I can't afford a Dyson, so don't even go there.  Lol.

I just bought the shark rotator that can be either. Got it at BB&B, so it was $200 instead of $250. I love it. There's a wood floor attachment that works like a charm and it does amazing on my carpet too.

Our house is all wood & tile, no carpet.  I have a Eureka cannister vac so I can suck up all the hair on furmiture from my Pekingese & short haired cat who somehow sheds more than the Peke.  It works just fine.  No idea what the name of it but it's yellow & black (I'm super helpful I know).  I'd love a Dyson but they are so $$$.

I have the Dyson, have you priced out the refurbs on Amazon or when it is on sale at Costco? Mine has been going strong for 10+ years.

i was also going to suggest this. my parents have had theirs for over 10 years and it still works great.

we got ours super cheap at costco, and i see refurbs for cheap all the time.

anyway, as far as canister vs. regular, i kind of hate canisters. they are nice in theory, but i don't like having to maneuver 2 pieces all the time.

Shark professional rotator. Love it, especially for my hardwoods.

I have the shark professional as well and it is awesome. I hardly ever see canister vacuums anymore but my sister has inherited my grandmothers electrolux that has been around at least as long as I have been alive (and probably a lot longer). I vacuumed with it the other day and it did an awesome job. I was amazed.
