Vacuum opinions

[baronessekat]

OK, the vacuum that mom had, while still working, is dying. I figured I would need a new one eventually. I mean I have mostly wall-to-wall in the Doma and three cats (one long hair and two tabbys that shed at the drop of a hat). But as I"m cleaning for the weekend, even after changing the bag, I'm noticing it's not picking up as good as it should/used to.

So my question, dear readers is...

Any recommendations for what to get?

I"m seriously thinking of saving up for a dyson with Heppa filters. Cats + asthmatic = dyson right?

Anyone have any other suggestions for a good, well built, bagless upright?
