Good Vacuum for small home: Any suggestions?

Hi Meena, I would say check out a Miele Titan canister. It will handle both your laminate flooring and carpeting perfectly. It also has a long hose that can be used to catch all those cobwebs. If you are more interested in a upright you will need to buy a long extension hose to use for stairs, cobwebs and your hard floor surfaces. Uprights really are not designed to work well for floors. Carpets yes; One upright vacuum we have found to be very good on hard floor surfaces is the Riccar RSL4 & RSL5. But neither vacuum has the onboard tools that you need. The Cirrus Upright CR69, or CR79 could work well for you. It is a durable upright vacuum cleaner with onboard tools. It will not work for the laminate without using a long extension hose (extra), your wand (included) and a floor tool (extra). Please call me at 1-877-908-8227 (ask for Virginia) or visit www.newvacuumsonline.com to learn more.

A regular vacuum works great. The shop vac hose will be too big in circumference.

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up.Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

I haven't tried all dyson vacuums however, my daughter has an animal 41. I wouldn't give it hoseroom. It's big, it's heavy and the size of the ball is very limiting (i.e. getting under tables and other furniture). The stick 44 has amax run time of 20 minutes on a charge and is absolutely fantastic for daily area clean ups. I prefer a hosed central vac system for vacuuming soft furniture and baseboards etc.

In my opinion, I find this vacuum to be no louder than a standard household upright model. The noise is about "average".

It's a vacuum...sure it will. just don't expect to vaccum the whole house with it.

I would buy some of those thick storage bags that you can attach a vacuum cleaner to! You know, the ones you can put clothes in etc...This would do a great job of removing all the air and would only take a few seconds to do. I should probably patent this idea!

Hello, any household vacuum cleaner will work even the size does not matter as long as it has good suction. All you do is remove the Vacuum Handle and place the hose on top of the suction cap and turn it on; it will do the job. Thank you

The Miele is probably THE finest vacuum I have ever owned (I'm 63). It comes with the powered rug attachment which does everything you need, and it has a great brush for bare floors. The entry cost is very high, but it is quality through and through. Hope this helps in your decision

I don't think you would be satisfied with it over the long haul. Using it on carpet can be rather difficult, and tiring to your arms. Also, the dirt storage capacity is small, so you would probably have to empty it more frequently than you would like. (It does not have a disposable bag.) It works best on a room or two at a time. I don't think it is designed to be a whole house vacuum.

I would have to say a lot like a vacuum cleaner, but a little more pleasant. Perhaps a little quiter, depending on the size of the room it is in.

Not too bad. It's not quiet as Miele but neither as loud as dirty devil or Hoover vacuum. I even find eureka Mughty mite or the boss much louder than this one. But if you're looking for something quiet it's either Electrolux or Miele. But that's more money so for the price I'd say: go for it. But remember to wash the filter every few months for best results. Good luck.

It all depends... For myself, I like in a small apartment and a full charge is more than sufficient to vacuum the entire house. Thus it becomes a full sized replacement for my home. I actually stopped using my full sized Dyson since I got this. Do note that it probably does not have enough suction to handle carpets. Only hard floors.

Just bought a Dyson City Vac. It has a small power-head but seems to have good suction and I love the attachments and the overall versatility of the machine. I liked the Samsung power-head really well for carpets however, the wand of my Samsung broke and they seemingly weren't able to replace it. Samsung has very poor customer service. Friendly but not helpful. We made several calls to Samsung and were refunded for the vacuum. You may want to check them out on the Better Business Bureau website. Dyson is known for quality customer service.

I have the DC 47, used it twice, good for small jobs and really bought it for quick clean ups so I don't have to lug the big one up and down the stairs. The head is very small so can't cover as wide an area as full size. Plenty of suction, and does well on carpets removing pet hair. Moves easily, lightweight so easy to hold it with one hand (like on the stairs) and vac with the other hand. Tools clamp onto the hose pipe, easy to detach and replace. Can't say anything negative about it except for the small head/brush.

I have the neato 21 and multiple roombas. I have a slight preference for the roomba with the old style brush on hardwood. If the unit is expected to go in and out of many rooms, I would choose the Neato for navigation. I think the lower priced roombas are a good first purchase. The best robotic vacuum is the one that will work for many months without breaking. Cleaning differences are not of of great significance.
