My floors always look filthy, because I hate vacuuming. Mainly because when I bought vacuums for this house (one upstairs, one down) the only bagless vacuums I could find at a reasonable price with good reviews were uprights. That's all they had in stores --- uprights. No canisters anywhere. I'd never owned an upright before, and I quickly learned I passionately hate them.
You can't get under stuff.
You can't see what it's about to suck up.
Using the attachments is awkward. I've toppled the upright a few times.
You can't reach the ceiling/wall seam to get cobwebs.
The damn things are HEAVY and difficult to maneuver. They maneuver like a rotary push mower on a deep lawn (remember those?).
Because I'm so short, the angle is steep and the entire weight of them hangs off my arm. This is my biggest complaint.
I hate them. A nice little canister sits in the middle of the room bothering nobody but the cat, while you clean all around it. I flat out don't understand why anyone likes uprights.
So, I went online shopping, and I found the BISSELL Zing Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner at Lowes. I have all bare floors and short nap oriental rugs, so I don't need a beater bar, just good strong suction. This little thing weighs only a few pounds, I can carry it up while I'm doing the stairs, and the suction is enough to cause panic if you touch the wrong thing. So far I LOVE it! It has absolutely nothing I don't need and everything I do need.
Best of all, it's only $49.99. (Actually, it was on sale when I bought it, so it was less than $40, I think.)
