I am a bit sad that I am at the point in my life where this is an important question, but this is what it has come to.
Our vacuum that we got from our wedding registry is less than 2 years old, but the cord has been fraying for over a year (patched up shoddily with electrical tape) and it has never been that great anyway.
We also have a dog that sheds like crazy (and a cat that surprisingly doesn't shed nearly as much as the dog), so that is a consideration, along with the fact that probably 90% of our house is hard wood floors with a little bit of carpet here and there.
We were looking at the Dyson Animal (not sure about 41 vs 24...big vs small) and had generally heard good things, but there are certainly some less than glowing reviews out there. It's also obviously quite expensive, even with a Black Friday-Cyber Monday discount.
Also read some good things about the Hoover WindTunnel Pet Series, which is significantly less expensive and has decent reviews.
Anyone have any experiences or advice to share about either of the brands/models I mentioned? Or want to advocate for a totally different vacuum?
Good on wood floors and good with pet hair are the two biggest criteria, but I'd also prefer something bagless, and obviously lighter is always better.
Thanks!
