Hi everyone,
I have an old vacuum cleaner that is on its last legs.
I also have 4 cats and definitely NEED a good vacuum cleaner.
Since most of the people in this group have similar needs,
I wonder if anyone has a recommendation.
Up to $200 is ok for cost, with a carpet "beater", relatively
quiet and lightweight (I have stairs to drag it up), a handtool
accessory would be nice. Do the hepa-filter vacuums
do a better job on cat hair, dust, and dander? How often does
the filter need to be replaced?
Two that I was looking at at Target this past weekend:
Eureka WhirlWind LiteSpeed Vacuum - bagless, HEPA filter
Dirt Devil Vision Featherlite Bagless Vacuum MO86520 - HEPA type filter
The benefit of your experience is greatly appreciated.

Hi Debra,
I have a Hoover Windtunnel and I sure do like it. It is four years old
now, and
gets *heavy* use (four cats). It uses those "allergen" filters and I do
believe
that cuts down tremendously on what ends up floating in the air. It was
around
$200 and I got it at Wal Mart. Filters are easy to find and areen't
expensive.

Same here. It's a great vacuum and I think it was in your budget range.
