Tried reading epinions, consumer reports, etc., gets more confusing as I go.
I have bad allergies and we have pets. And a fair amt. of carpet.
The top picks of Consumer Reports all have a lot of negative reviews :think:
Dyson is very popular, but reliability and access to repair/service is questionable.
We are not on a tight budget, if one type stood out we would pay $400-$600 for it but even those we found in this price range just seem like a plastic laden, gimmicky pile of poop.
I know there are really upscale brands like Kirby that are probably built like a tank, but now you are talking $$$ that could go towards something like another motorcycle...jeez for $500 someone must make a good solid unit with a network of reliable dealers?
Or am I spending way too much time on this and should I just go down to Sears or Lowes and just close my eyes and pick one? I really want something that helps with the allergies though.
What say you?
