Miele is by far the best in terms of allergenic vacuum cleaners.
Next comes Dyson. Dyson Vacuum Cleaners tend to have more features and look more modern than Miele Vacuums, and they also better attachments and hose features.
Then come the upper end Hoover, Eureka, and Bissell Vacuums.
Hoover Tempo Widepath is my favorite low end vacuum cleaner and the Bissell Healthy Home is an excellent mid range vacuum cleaner.

I hope this helps, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

Hi, A friend recently bought a Eureka boss smart vac ultra 4870 and she loves it. She said it was recommended by a leading consumer magazine and rated right up there with higher priced vacuums. It was priced around 150.00 and really cleans carpets and bare floors. Has hepa filtration, 8 carpet settings, convenient tools and ability to control suction when using tools.Another friend has a Dyson that she loves but they are more expensive. Hope this helps.

I have a Dirt Devil Dynamite. It’s a small upright. I use it on the living level of my house where I have hardwood floors. It’s perfect!

Upstairs is carpeted so I have a full size Dirt Devil bagless for up there.

I did a consumer reports search a few years ago and came up with Eureka's the Boss. I bought it for less than $60.00 and I have to say it has been terrific. I was even considering a $600.00 Meile because of allergies. I'm so happy with my vacuum and my savings. That was then though, and there might be a better one now.

I dont really use Consumer Reports. I think they have mixed reviews, and their ratings dont seem accurate. A good website is http://www.epinions.com. They have reviews from actual people who own products. As far as vaccum cleaners we have a Bissell Powerforce bagless vacuum which we purchased at Walmart back in 2004. It is a good vacuum, and has washable filters. Washing the filters is a dirty job, but is not that hard. I think the price at Walmart was under $60.00 which is alot better than a Dyson in my opinion. I think Dyson is overrated.

I work for a carpet cleaning company, so I know a bit about this…

Prior to purchasing a machine, and once you have one, there are a number of things that will help you….

Want to keep your carpet looking clean and fresh for longer?

Choose the right carpet

There are as many types of carpet as there are types of people, and choosing which one to live with can be a daunting process. Discuss your living situation and your carpet needs with your supplier in depth prior to making any purchase. Almost all carpet samples are now labeled as to their suitability for use in different areas of the home, .Before finally deciding on which material is to be installed, check carefully that it is suitable for the location for which it is intended. In general, long piled carpets are not suitable for use on stairs. Secondary backed carpets, fitted over a good underlay, will give a better performance in heavy wear areas such as living or dining rooms, hall, stairs & landings. Plain carpets, especially velour’s, will always show marking of any kind much more than a heavily patterned material.

First Steps

Carpet care and protection goes beyond vacuuming and cleaning. The first steps that a visitor makes on to your property are usually via an external walkway or path. Keeping the exterior areas of your building, especially those that are walked on prior to entering your home or business, clean, can make a huge difference to the amount of debris that is tracked on to your carpets and flooring. It should be remembered that 85% of the dirt and dust that exists within a building is carried in, on the feet of the buildings inhabitants.

Mats

Laying mats down at the buildings entrances can greatly reduce the amount of dirt tracked in,.

Maintenance

Air pollution within the home or workplace has assumed greater significance as buildings became more airtight to improve energy efficiency. Carpets, by nature, trap dust, dirt, fumes, and other contaminants. Proper vacuuming is necessary to remove dust and other contaminants from the carpet, for better indoor air quality, as well as longer carpet life

The best way to prolong the life of your carpet is to vacuum on a regular basis, at least once a week for areas that receive minimal use and daily for high traffic areas such as hall, living and dining rooms and door ways. Ensure that you pay adequate attention to the corners and edges.

Pollen, dust and particulates invisible to the naked eye can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms and lead to a host of other ailments that compromise building occupants’ health.

Daily vacuuming can contribute to better indoor air quality but using the wrong vacuum cleaner — or failing to maintain it properly — can actually do more harm than good.

One of the most important differences between a traditional vacuum and a healthy one is the level of filtration. Make sure your vacuum has an adequate filtration system; this will ensure that you are picking up the dirt and dust, and not blowing it back into the atmosphere.

When it comes to maintaining a vacuum cleaner, distributors say common sense prevails. The main thing is to change the vacuum bag on a regular basis. Don’t wait until it’s full.

Three-quarters is as full as you want them to get…changing at half is better still.

In addition to changing vacuum bags, distributors recommend cleaning or changing the filters frequently. Some vacuum cleaners will let you know when the filter needs to be changed. Other vacuums, you’ll notice it’s not picking up properly, which means the bag needs to be changed.

I hope this helps

I personally feel Hyla is the best! It is a German made vacuum that uses water filtration. You should take a look at their website.

This month’s Consumer Reports magazine had a review of different vacuums. They tested over 60 models and determined that the Kenmore Progressive model 35922 at $300 was best on the market. However a Hoover Tempo Widepath u5140-900 was listed 6th and only costs $60. The Kenmore rated 75 points overall and the Hoover was 66points. The Kenmore did rate higher for pet hair though.
Hope this helps. Go by you local bookstore and check out the magazine, that way you can see everyone that was tested.
