Registry ??? How did you pick...

which vacuum you registered for?

I have no idea one from the next...except bag vs bagless?

And there's like 100s of vacuums out there?

I picked a Dyson because I have bad allergies. My aunt has 2 kids with asthma and has one and said that it picks up dirt from her tile and carpet much better than any vacuum she's had. So that's how I chose and plus it looks so cool

I picked up the Dyson and it's really heavy. I thought it would be lighter.

Yea, my mom has a Dyson (not the ball one) and she complains that it's heavy. I didn't think the ball one was too heavy tho.

I like the pet hair vacuum, it has really good pet hair remover attachments. Go for the vacuum that has the most power! The higher the voltage the more powerful the sucking

Oh I always wanted a Dyson the heavy aspect is scarying me now. It will really give me more of an excuse not to vacuum now haha

We registered for the Dyson Animal because we have a huge dog who sheds constantly. My mom bought it for us for Christmas and it is amazing! It picked up so much hair that our other vacuum (which was terrible) had left behind. I don't want to sound like a vacuum commercial, but I highly recommend it for anyone with pets!

I've had a bunch of vacuums and as far as I'm concerned nothing beats the Kenmore's at Sears. I have all hard wood and tile floors - no carpeting - so keep that in mind. I've heard the dyson is good too but I think it's better on carpeting.

Re: Registry ??? How did you pick...

I heard the dyson ball is great so that is what i registered for

Re: Registry ??? How did you pick...

we didnt register for anything. most likely we wont have carpets (maybe just area rugs)...so at this point, id rather ppl put the $400 elsewhere.

will probably register for a steam mop or something tho....not sure

Re: Registry ??? How did you pick...

i highly recommend the shopvac from sears. they come in different sizes..but they are like 60$ each.. they $Uck and they bl0w.. so u can use it to blwo the leaves out of your doorway and stuff.

super powerful

Re: Registry ??? How did you pick...

Re: Registry ??? How did you pick...

anyone else? need as much input as poss to show FH. he wants to be in charge of picking the vacuum for whatever unknown reason.

Re: Registry ??? How did you pick...

Re: Registry ??? How did you pick...

Get a dyson if u have Carpet but if u dont then any its not worth spending the money

Re: Registry ??? How did you pick...

Originally I had registered for the Dyson. FH really wanted it, but then BIL was like, 'Why a Dyson, it's not even the highest rated on Consumer Reports.' BIL has a subscription to Consumer Reports and is obsessed. He told me to get the Hoover Wind Tunnel. It was much cheaper too, so I switched. I still think the purple Dyson is really pretty though.
