Lightweight Vacuum
 

I know this isn't a normal forum question, but I really need some input.

I am unable to push the upright vacuum we currently have and wondered if any of you have found a good lightweight one you could recommend??

Thanks :)

Do what I did. Rip up your carpet and get laminate and then use a swiffer..:D I can do that from my scooter.:cool:

I have a Bissell easyvac and it's very lightweight.

We have an Oreck vacuum. it's not self propelled tho, but we also have cleaning ladies that come in and use it to vacuum for us. (we dont like it when a cleaning company comes in with a vacuum that's been used on the rest of the city of Omaha. I dont want other people's bedbugs being dragged into our house. Prefer they use our own vacuum)

I've seen another Oreck that's self propelled that I want to get for our next vacuum. If my current flare lets up, I want to get a new vacuum. (I'm weird, I like to vacuum sometimes. I consider it exercise)

Buy a roomba robot vacuum where you don't have to do anything! You can get a good one for around $200.

What is this vacuum you speak of?

Had one of those, loved it and gave it to DD when I got the laminate wood floors. Now I need to get one of those for cleaning & polishing wood floors and tile..:D Right now, it's my scooter with a swiffer..;)

I have an Oreck. I think it weighs 8 pounds....more when the bag is full. I'm probably due for a new one as this one is about 10 years old. I only have carpet in the bedrooms so I use a Swiffer type vacuum on the wood floors.

My Consumer Reports magazine lists 2 "bagged" Oreck vacuums as highly rated in handling:
Oreck XL Platinum Power team and Oreck Edge U8000 both very expensive at $600 and $800.
One that rated very good was the Dirt Devil Featherlite Bagless MO85845 for $50 (sold at Target)
I have none of the above, but thought I'd pass along the info.

Don't you think my siggy line is appropoux for this thread..:D:p:D
