    Default ISO Canister Vacuum

    My upright vacuum is just not doing it anymore. We need a new one and our cleaning lady is asking for a canister vacuum. Any suggestions for one at a decent price noting we mostly have hardwood floors with area rugs but do have wall to wall carpet in our basement.

    Miele won't be a decent price, but they are awesome. I think the cheapest I have seen them is about $500 for their base model.

    You might look at the Dyson canister which I don't know the price of but it comes with a 5 yr. warranty. We've had our upright for 4+ yrs. and never had a problem with it.

    My housekeeper uses an upright Oreck--loves it b/c it is very light. I bought a canister type that works great and is easy on my back since it can be carried on the shoulder with a strap like a purse while vacuuming. Suction is good. Mine is a refurbished model from Overstock; ran about $100. I've seen upright/canister combo deals at Target and Costco but can not recall the price.

    I bought a canister Dyson after moving it is all right. Not as loved as my Dyson upright but it is right for our space. I bought it as a refurbished model on ebay for around $275.
