My day job is in vacuum repair...this is about the only thing to do with a Dyson when it comes in the shop.

Which vacuum is the best in your opinion?

Upright or canister?

I try to match the vacuum to my customers' needs rather than focusing on a brand.

The shit brands to avoid are:
Bissell
Shark
Dyson
Dirt Devil
Eureka
Hoover

The basic rule of thumb is to purchase a vacuum like any other long-term appliance purchase and go ahead and spend the money upfront for a quality product, and forego the future expenses of shit parts and regular service. And, always keep labor and parts costs in mind for when repairs to pop up.

It's not a matter of whether it operates for 6 years. It's a matter of how poorly it performs for 6 years. And, if you think their new models are gonna last that long, I've got news for you...

I don't want to get into a vacuum cleaner theory lesson here, but trust in what I say. I have no reason to make shit up.

Hoover is, or rather was, a good vacuum company...back before real filtration, and before they fell into the trap of trying to compete with Dyson, and abandon all of the things they did well, to rush out poorly designed machines.

Again, many of these things will last for years. What you're not seeing is the dirt left behind, the dirt bypassing the filters through the housings, damage to your expensive trim, etc.

My vacuum is a zero particulate machine that would suck the hair off of a gypsy, and doubles as an air purifier....all the while, being a tremendously reliable machine that gives virtually no problems, ever.

It's a hacked Miele Mercury w/ a 1300W Vortex motor and automatic power adjustments.

I could get you into a new, comparable model for $1500.
