Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hello HARDSELL:

While true, we are specifically talking about a dyson DC18 refurb/repack for $200 not another brand.  Dyson DC 18 Slim refurbs/repacks number in the hundreds on eBay at any given time.  The repacks/refurbs sold by so called dyson dealers do not come with the original dyson 5 year warranty.  These vacuums are essentially sold as "used."   To ensure a sellers' warranty, the buyers must be willing to pay an additional amount[s] for extended service plans.

Appreciate feedback on Hoover S3825.

Somehow I missed the word Dyson in the title of this thread.  Don't know what I was thinking since Dyson is mentioned in all threads.  I know James is flattered to be the standard for comparison.

One poster here is "stuck on dyson" for all vacuum questions.

WRT the HOOVER S3825 and Fred's question, both quality/performance make this model a viable contender as a bagless canister.   It's heritage is VAX, a decent and reliable brand, now incorporated into TTI Floorcare of North America, the parent of HOOVER amd other American born vacuum brands.  The S3825 price of $189 is very good and COSTCO has a very liberal return policy if dissatisfied with the purchase.  Besides being bagless, a feature I don't like in full size canisters, it lacks one more feature I would prefer that it had:  The gold standard of carpet cleaning and grooming:  HOOVER WindTunnel technology.   Even at an additional $50 cost to the canister price, I would recommend the WT feature which is found on the H-S3755/S3765-040.  It makes a marked difference in time and effort of vacuuming.
