I have central vac througout the house. I love it. I have literally killed any other vacuum I have tried. I also have a Roomba that I let do her thing but Frankie despises it and tries to kill her everytime I try to use it.
Dyson for the carpets and dust mop, broom and mop for the tile and wood floors. We only have carpets in the bedrooms and child gates up so the herd doesn't get to romp around in the bedrooms all the time.
With five dogs 2 cats and Me around ya has to be Dyson Animal also love there warranty worth every single Penny ( which we no longer have but just sayin...) I have had to replaced worn out under there warranty no questions asked !! pretty good considering there cost very impressed
Oreck and Neeto (like a roomba) and my wonderful cleaning lady! Next vacuum will be a Dyson. I had one in the UK and it was brilliant. I agree that their service is great (or it was then). I bought mine second hand and something went wrong with it, can't remember what it was now, but they came out to my house and replaced ALL the parts that could be replaced including the motor free of charge! It was like a brand new vacuum. i was amazed!
