There is a hose on the back that you can unclip and put an attachment on. ]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 23:47:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1088711&title=vacuum-cleaners#1088711 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1088693&title=vacuum-cleaners#1088693 Author: minik8e

For the upright ones, how do you get into those little small spaces, like under the couch (or in my case, under the kitchen cupboards as we have no toe kicks)???]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 22:54:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1088693&title=vacuum-cleaners#1088693 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1088599&title=vacuum-cleaners#1088599 Author: kiwi2

I have a bissell. It is the red upright one and we got it dec last year from noel lemmings. I think they gave us $30 off for cash so ask for a discount if you are paying for cash.

I love it but it is heavy. I also hate the fact that I bought the same one in the states for $69 us dollars and paid over $300 here for it. Differences in voltage meant I couldn't bring it back with us. I think bagless is the way to go and would definately go upright rather than hose and drag along thing. My reasoning behind this is that the motor of the vaccum is right by the suction head whereas with the long hose you can lose alot of suction before it reaches the head.

I had the bissell wet vaccum in the states and loved it. I hate to think how much they are here. I paid $180 us for mine from walmart and used it over and over again so it definately paid for itself.

Hope this helps.]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 21:37:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1088599&title=vacuum-cleaners#1088599 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1088555&title=vacuum-cleaners#1088555 Author: VioletStar

Thanks for all the replies!
Sounds like a Miele Cat and Dog is the way to go... just seems like a lot of money to spend on a vacuum cleaner, I'm a scrooge!
Think I'll have to test them out and see how I go

Thanks again! ]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 21:06:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1088555&title=vacuum-cleaners#1088555 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1087473&title=vacuum-cleaners#1087473 Author: MrsH23

I would seriously recommend this!
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Cleaning-bins/Vacuum-cleaners/Bagless-vacuums/auction-301026108.htm

They have some serious power and being bagless, it's so much easier than having to buy and change bags constantly. The only down side is that the container isn't huge so for my place (which is quite big) i have to do the lounge/dining/kitchen/laundry (all one room), empty the container, then do the rest of the house.
I have just recently bought a new one. Not because the first stopped working, but after 3 years of use, the plastic filter piece on the back broke though i think the plastic pieces will break before the vacuum will stop going! And for $80, you can't go wrong! =P
Definitely worth giving it a go. I wouldn't bother buying any other now (unless they bring out one with a bigger container!)]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 09:07:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1087453&title=vacuum-cleaners#1087453 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1085822&title=vacuum-cleaners#1085822 Author: AandCsmum

I used to sell vacumms - Dyson were by far the most popular, and yes, they do have great suction but I found them a bit 'tinny' and we got a lot of them back cause they were faulty/broke easily.
I have a Miele cat and dog. Have had it for about 6yrs now and it still goes like a dream. Can't recommend it enough!
Tellus are now Nilfisk - they are OK but no where near as good as the old Tellus ones!
Bissell are also good. They do a great wet/dry vac!]]> Fri, 02 Jul 2010 22:35:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1085821&title=vacuum-cleaners#1085821 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1085708&title=vacuum-cleaners#1085708 Author: peachy

Interesting subject, as we have a Nilfisk bagless and the other day i borrowed my neighbours (as a friend borrowed mine) and she has a Miele it was just awesome.
We have 3 kids 2 dogs and a cat.

Now I want a Miele lol ]]> Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:30:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1085684&title=vacuum-cleaners#1085684 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1085527&title=vacuum-cleaners#1085527 Author: BugTeeny

I my Dyson with turbo head.
I've heard great things about the Wertheims, too.

My Mum used to have an old Tellus - the one that looked like a Darlek from Dr. Who. That was brilliant, but I don't know if you can get them anymore..

we got a new one in Jan from Godfreys and it is great. We have a long haired cat so we needed one that could vac up the hair and we ended up with a Hoover brand with a big foot on it. Would really recommend it for sucking up the cat hair etc but the cord is super short.]]> Fri, 02 Jul 2010 15:48:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1085367&title=vacuum-cleaners#1085367 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1085344&title=vacuum-cleaners#1085344 Author: KazS

We have a Wertheim X3000 adn love it - it is a bagless with power head

We have 2 dogs, 2 cats and a small child and LOVE it - it is so great things actually travel across the carpet to get to it

My parents have an older bagged model which is also AWESOME]]> Fri, 02 Jul 2010 15:29:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1085344&title=vacuum-cleaners#1085344 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34445&PID=1085241&title=vacuum-cleaners#1085241 Author: VioletStar

Would you recommend yours?

Ours has died! We live on a farm and I have to vacuum 2-3 times a week just to keep the place clean so want something that will suck well and won't making vacuuming such hard work.

Is bagless better? Upright?

I've heard Miele and Bissel are good.
Does anyone have one of these? Link
