Started the process at looking at vac cleaners - anyone have any opinions on which are good and which suck ass?
My situation: 100% wood floors + several wool rugs + small dog.
I looked around online and the opinions were like throwing shit at a dartboard...

obviously get something with a detachable hose and the attachments. I have a dirt devil. It's got lots of toys with it but i'm not overly impressed with how well it works.

This one was Cheap...Found it at home Depot...Works like a charm...and the cord rewinds into the side so you dont have to deal with that shit.
Works like a Champ
No bags Either...And you just push a button and the bottom opens up which makes cleanup easy.
Wow I just took a picture and reviwed my Fucking Vacumm...Lol

Right, it's not like you are parading that sucker around the neighborhood. And if you are, maybe the color of the vacuum isn't your biggest problem. :lol:

We have one of the Dyson ball things cause my step son has allergys and its supposed to kick ass. All I know is when it runs the thing has a high pitch noise that hurts my ears but does not seem to bother the wife. No really thats not a joke.

For a 500 dollar vac that prides itself on "design" - i would suggest that color matters a little.

We had a Hoover windtunnel for 8 years. Worked great but the motor finally burnt out. Just bought the Dyson Animal, My wife says it's just as good as the hoover was and is easier to empty.
Retail was $588. We got it at Kohl's for $300 by combining a few coupons.

I spent $250 on a Hoover canister that lasted 16 years and just died the other week.
I just purchased a Dyson DC17 Animal at Bed,Bath & Beyond for $440. I signed up for emails and got a 20% coupon good for one item. That lowered the cost from $550 to $440 :dthumb:
It works great and is easy to empty. It pulled all kinds of nasty shit out of our carpets.
It even got the "Mochi paw of approval"

Since you mentioned hardwood floors, I have to note, all of your larger carpet designed vacs will usually just blow the dirt and pet hair around, and AWAY from the vacuum.
Take the rugs out regularly and beat them, :lol:. Im serious. Shake them, and pickup a bagless, allergenless type vac if you must vacuum them.
For the floors themselves, pick up a cheap, $20 dirt devil knock off at walmart. Cheap, easy to carry around, and the best part is, they dont blow the fur and dirt around. I had 6 dogs, 3 cats and 2 ferrets at one time, and unless you saw them running around, you would never have known I had pets. Im kinda OCD about it.
Heres a pic of what is similar to what I always use, great for hardwood, tile and linoleum.
