Vacuum recommendations?

hellopoppyseed

Our vacuum is giving off the worst dying motor smell. I was just looking at options for replacing it. We have a bunch of Discover points and they offer two Hoover wind tunnel models and then several Dysons and around $350 or double the cost of the hoovers. Or we could just buy something but I thought that was convienent. What should I get? Or do a get a roomba one?

I LOVE my Dyson, so I highly reccomend that. I also bought mine a bit cheaper used from Amazon.

I absolutely love love love love my vacuum-

Hoover Windtunnel

Its bagless- it's soooooo ridiculously easy to dump, no mess, no touching anything, it picks up so amazingly well. Light weight. great attachments.

And its less than 150.00

Thank you for the responses. Now I'm totally confused ?? I was just at my neighbor's and she has the Hoover wind tunnel which she loves. But I know a dyson will go forever (I think). Maybe I should go back to her house and ask to vacuum to try it out. Haha

lol- I actually stopped someone in Bed Bath and Beyond who was shopping around for vacuums and told them to get the hoover.

Then again- I am not a shy person. lol.

Ive been known to do the same type of thing, especially when I really love a product.

I am on my second Hoover windtunnel, and I'm really happy with it.  At only $150, I didn't care when the first one died.  It lasted over 4 years, and at that price, I think it was totally worth it!  I'm sure a Dyson is a better vacuum and might make my life easier, but I don't have $400 to drop on a vacuum...as much as I want the purple one...sigh...

I got my Dyson animal for a really good deal, and every time I vacuum, I think "good thing I didn't pay full price!" I mean, it's fine, but I'm not really sure I see all the hype. If I could justify the $$, I would have a Rainbow, but I can't, so the Dyson is fine. In my opinion, the attachments and the way that they attach are sub par :-(

Got the Hoover wind tunnel!  So far, so good! Thank you

I've had a Dyson Animal (this one) and I LOVE it. I definitely recommend this vacuum. It's easy to use and replace bits on (like filters). The only thing I don't care for is that you have to order new parts online via the Dyson website (at least for me in Canada, in the US I believe Amazon ships parts).
