Default What brand of Vacuum cleaner do you own?

I run a Vacuum store and am just curious where the floor care market is headed. Select the brand that you primarily use in your house.
I have most of the biggies covered.
If you don't see it pick other and post.
Thanks.

Actually Cadillac, I'm going to remain unbiased at this point, but believe me when I tell you, you're good with the Hoover...unless you got the bagless one with the folding handle.[:-]

Dyson makes a great product, but they're customer service is $@%#. Getting parts is like pulling teeth. Those S/P Hoovers are pretty good. Gotta be nice to the height adjuster though. You slam that baby too low on carpet and you will send that rear belt to lala land.

Nah, be nice to the FQ, they are akward to use by today's standards, but are made VERY well, economical, and should have decent suction *IF* it is working properly and not clogged. Have you checked the pre-motor and exhaust filter lately?

I look at it this way -- no matter what vaccuum you own, it will suck somehow!

I have the Euro-Pro Shark Cordless Sweeper, it's the only thing that will pick up my guinea pig's hay and gravel all over our house. It's cordless, so there's no hassle of plugging it in.

Why isn't Dyson on the list?! I (my folks) have one of those, it rules.

It has this funky internal cyclone/hurricaine thing going on which removes anything off the floor - pets, money, small rc parts....

...and my gran had this self propelled one, you give it a push and it drives off in whatever direction, turn your back and it's off down the street!

Hay and gravel? Reminds me of something I've heard before, "Were you born in a barn? Close the door!"

Electrolux. Never heard of it until it showed up at our house a couple weeks ago.

Actually Tigger, I'm in a house, not a barn. THe thing is my guinea pig likes to make a mess of everything and runs around his cage getting gravel on our floors and then his Timothy Hay that he eats is a whole other story. The Shark is the only vaccum that seems to pick them up good while still being affordable.

My brother is into airsoft guns and he always shoots targets in his room. We have a shark and use it to pick up all the little BB's out of the carpet. Works great! We also have a Eureka and a central vac system, i don't know what the brand is though.
