Vacuum Recommendation

I picked up the kenmore intuition 31811 from sears for $270 plus tax. The next comaprable dyson was $399. The dyson did not have a hard brush attachment, long cleaning wand nor a real long cord like this one. I vacuumed last night with our old one and went over it with this and there was a decent amount in there that my old one missed.
I would say this is well worth it so far.

as far as the cord, the dyson i have, the cord is plenty long
; you can get the majority of the house (minus the very extremes), if you plug into the outlet at the bottom of the stairseven then if you wanted to be a lazy f@ck, get a dedicated extension cord for the vacuum, and leave it connected to it (i "tie" the two ends of extension cords together so they do not pull apart on me)
and
, it is 
(for the cheap vacuum) when you go over with a better quality vacuum, and it still picks up more shit

The vacuum does have a better cleaning power than a dyson if bags and filters are replaced timely. Attachments,Suction and the Panasonic/Lg build is where the Kenmore's shine. The Dyson would have been the better vac for the long term, no loss of suction, no clogs, no filters to replace etc. For the short, The kenmore Vac is great and offers features such as dirt sensors, vac light and many tools for the choosing. I would highly recommend to purchase the Sears warranty if you havent. The warranty will save you alot of money from future clogs. I have unclogged many kenmore's in the past for my customers, as they have a tendency to clog on the bottom left. Sears Warranty will as you may know, cover all cleanings of your vac.-Ex employee

The intuition is based off of the progressive line and is a great vacuum. The vacuum does have a better cleaning power than a dyson if bags and filters are replaced timely.

We are thinking of getting the 5 year warranty for $75. Like you said it covers all cleanings AND i was told they replace the hepa filter that costs about $20. It picked up more stuff than our old bissell, but that was to be expected. It seems to be a well made unit and we are hoping it lasts for many years beyond the warranty.

Cost was $65 for parts and labor, so that warranty would have been a near wash.

I picked up the DC25 at Bed Bath and Beyond. They charge sales tax AFTER the coupon (
), so it ended up being $15 less than Amazon.com.
Unfortunately, I was too late to cancel my order. The rep told me to deny delivery and/or simply return it and they'll give me a full refund. Probably more trouble than $15, but I'm a cheap ass

If the hepa filters are $20 each and we normally replace them once a year, that right there will be worth it. They said i can take it in once per year to have it serviced/cleaned. I am a stickler with schedules and normally will be dead on so it may work for me.

I think the wife's getting a DC35 for her birthday to make it easy enough for her to do the stairs (we have three flights) that she doesn't ask me to do it every week.

That seems to hard to use for the stairs, I have a Dirt Devil similar to that, hate doing stairs with it. I use my Oreck for the stairs, it's so damn light.

I'll have to go check one out. Even if I end up using it, I want something easier than using the upright. Cordless would be ideal.

My wife will do stair by stair with the Dyson and the attachment hose, works great. That's the stairs from second to top floor of house. I use the Oreck from second floor to basement.

I used the DC25 for the second time today and I really like it. I'm not completely sure it has more suction than my old vacuum, but:
- Much easier to maneuver. I can get under furniture and beds a little more, and getting odd corners is easier. One of the walls in the master bedroom curves, and the DC25 will ride the curve no problem.
- Quieter. No much quieter, but enough to notice.
- Power cord does not get warm.
- Very easy to empty the collector bin.
