Best canister for under $500

Ready to get rid of my 10 year old Kenmore. It's been good to me, although I've had to fix it (myself) a numer of times--and I'm dissapointed they still haven't fixed the shotty quaity--like the plastic parts tha break on everyone hoe connections Considering dyson dc21 (and buying the smal powerhead, which is important to me--I've got two sets of carpeted stairs) Also found good reports on the high-end kenmore bagless. I'm not tied to bagless, though. I would consider a riccar, miele, or bosch..... Hepa is important to me. reliability is very important. but performance on different piles of carpet AND hardwood THE MOST IMPORTANT. And yes, it has to be a canister. THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE! |

Back when these were sold with a Sweep and Groom head we used to sell off the powerhead for central vacs and put a Lindhaus head on the oxygen. No problems, customer was always happy.
Dusty Did the EUREKA version use the sweep @ groom powerhead, and the electrolux version used the sweedish version,now made by someone else, Yes i could see the customer being real happy with the lindhaus,as you custom fitted together a great package for them,thank goodness the wands matched up............

MOLE Yes, it was the Eureka Oxygen with a quick release sweep and groom head and the Electrolux used a China made head.. Even with the sweep and groom the Oxygen was far superior to the heads that have been on the Electrolux's for the last couple years. I know that Lux is using Beams Q series head on their new machines, it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. Dusty

ElvisPresley.. Well in light of recent developements you might want to search out a Hoover S3670. the MSRP is $299.99 and seems to be very very very similar to a Meile Silvermoon S5980 ($1200) or as some have reported a Ricaar. I have one and it is SO FRIGGIN' SWEET!! It has a HEPA bag type "S" Hoover part # 4010806S; although any Hoover "S" style will work. Nice n quite, great floor brush, neat convertble tool sooo easy to move around. My best suggestion is locate a Hoover Factory Service Center that has one you can try it's what I did.. |
