Best Vacuum Cleaner Ever

[Lakelady48]

We have a small travel trailer with just a couple of scatter rugs. But we also have one black dog and a white dog who both shed like crazy. In an effort to go small and light, I foolishly thought a small shop vac was all I needed for a couple months of Snowbirding. Silly me, not what shop vacs are made for and it picked up NO dog hair.

Months ago I had seen an infomercial for a Shark Rocket, and after reading reviews, I bought one locally. I love it so much that I use it every day. It's so light, compact to use and store, and picks up a huge wad of hair every time. Lookng forward to using it at home too. I got exhausted dragging around my heavy cannister vac, so I would put off vacuuming for way too long. Lots of people who own Dysons say they actually like the Rocket better.

My friends and family are sick of hearing how much I love my vacuum, so now I have to tell strangers, LOL!

Then maybe you can give us a link to what you've got. 🙂

When I search for Shark Rocket on Amazon there are many models and they mostly look like and are called uprights.

Got a Sears, from the seventies,that has performed flawlessly all these years except there is a filter in a big plastic housing that fits over the motor. They quit making them after 20 years. I'm going to come up with something to substitute though and bring it out of retirement.
We bought a Hoover at COSTCO and the darned thing just quit a few days ago. Less than a year old. You have to clean the Hepa filter goo each time as well as the chamber below it. Have another similar one upstairs and same thing. They do not work as well as the Sears and do not hold no where as much dirt and are more trouble.

If you want the best, Rainbow. Everything goes through water no dust in the air. We have one at home and one in the coach.

Shark is bagless, right? We tried a bagless, and hated the dusty mess when emptying. Glad it works for you, though.

Funny. We said the same thing. We had top of the line Kirby. Before retiring we were getting our home ready to sell. Paid a lady to come and help get it presentable.that's what she had. Put the Kirby up for sale and bought one 🙂 we have 2:) hairy dogs and it just works great.

Really good vacuums are available, but expensive.

Those little Shark stick vacs are pretty good. I bought one for our RV (we travel with 2 dogs and 2 cats), and it does the job.

I loaned to a friend of mine who just installed hardwood through out the main of her house, and she liked it so well, she bought one of the larger models.
