It seems it is time to replace my 15 year old Bissell Upright Bagless Vacuum. Last year my kids broke the mechanism that holds it upright, but it was still usable, just annoying. Now it needs a new belt, and I would rather just get a new vacuum. Can anyone recommend a good, cheap vacuum for me? Should I just go with another Bissell? We have hardwood floors, so I really just use it for three area rugs and for the furniture, but we have two cats, so it has to handle lots of cat hair. I like the upright, bagless model.
I have a Hoover Elite Rewind. (Bag less) It was only about $100. We have hardwood floors also, so I only use on area rugs & we have a dog.. So I vacuum every other day. It also has a filter you clean, so you don't have to spend $$ on filters.. I've had our's about 3 yrs & am happy with it.
Our Hoover died and we got a Shark Navigator bagless. I'm impressed with its suction, how easy it was to put together, and how easy it is to maneuver around the house. Best Buy had it for less than Target in our area. We have cats and it does a good job on the cat hair.
Mine is a bagless canister, not upright, but I LOVE it! We have hardwood/rugs & it has an attachment that, with the push of a button, does hardwood or rug. I prefer a different attachment for the hardwood though, so I do switch it but it's not a problem at all. It's a Dyson Animal and we paid less than $350 on sale at Best Buy. Best purchase EVER!!

We just got a Eureeka Zuum for $99 on sale at Target and I love it! It's bagless, has a HEPA filter, is very lightweight and easy to maneuver, and picks up MUCH more than my 11-year-old vacuum that FINALLY broke last week! :-D
love love love I have a dyson yellow with a ball for tight turns. I talk to the representative once and he told me there is no difference from the purple pet vacuum and the yellow one. Except the pet attachment that is purple. so if you don't mind having a yellow vac and a purple attachment it is much cheaper.
