rec your non dyson vacuum

[zarapipe]

My six year old Dyson is losing suction.

I can't afford another and since we have put down hardwood in the living areas and only have carpeted bedrooms it doesn't make sense to even buy a Dyson.

What do you recommend that will last a while but isn't as pricey as a Dyson. 

[WOT?*]

My Hoover Wind Tunnel was a good vacuum. I have a Dyson now and always thought the old vacuum was just as good as the more expensive one (or better.)

I inherited my grandmas Oreck (she passed when I was in grade school)...and it works like a charm. It has been serviced once but that is it. I love it.

Shark navigator is great and kohl's carries it so with a sale, 30% off and kohls cash (which is how I bought it) you can get a good deal. Although our roomba is used a lot more because it's so easy.

Shark Rotator. Actually like it better than the Dyson.

Just bought this. I got the professional version and it's really, really good. I vacuumed with my old machine and then went over with the new one. It picked up so much more!

We have an Oreck and it works really well

I have a Miele & Kenmore Progressive & they are both great.

I loved my former Miele, too. You might consider one since you have a lot of hardwood.

Shark professional. The white one with the lift away. It's awesome.

We had trouble with our Dyson a while ago. Had it serviced at a local vacuum store and it is like new! It cost less than $100.

I had a Shark Navigator years ago and while I LOVED it at first, after about two years it was worthless and hardly picked up anything. So frustrating. I'm watching this thread because I am also in need of a new vacuum.

I thought they were never supposed to lose suction, EVAR!!!  Sorry, H and I always make fun of that commercial.

i also have an Oreck that my mom gave me and I love it. It is so light, which is really nice when it is going up and down stairs a lot.
