Buy a used Hoover. Usually $25 or so at a yardsale or CL. Buy HEPA
filter bags and a pair of new belts. The old hoovers last forever.
THe newer ones are good (but take flat belts and you need a
screwdriver to change the belt)
For canisters, buy a used electrolux, also usually $25 to $50 at
yardsale or CL. Buy HEPA bags and you are set.
For either one, repair parts are available and not expensive. Worst
repairs I ever had to do on an old hoover is change the brushes
(Cheap and easy) or replace the rubber sleeve that holds the bag with
a rubber oring from the vac. parts shop. Oh, I forgot, one time the
girls in a rental broke the yoke that holds the handle on a hoover.
That was the hardest repair. (maybe 45 min)
I guess I should have qualified this a *bit* more. I am not going
to spend $1,000 for a vacuum cleaner. For that matter, I'm not
going to spend $500 on a vacuum cleaner.
Call me cheap, but this stuff is all way out of my range.
Sorry.
Dan
