nxyn420RED BISSELL VACUUM from The Warehouse. Chunky but deep cleans the carpet so well!!! [https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/p/bissell-powerforce-helix-turbo-upright-vacuum/R2735656.html](https://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/p/bissell-powerforce-helix-turbo-upright-vacuum/R2735656.html)
Mission-Bell1234Bissell Power Force Helix Turbo. Nothing fancy, I think it was around $65. This thing works great for pet hair. I have two labs and vacuum 2-3 times a week. Pretty much fills up the canister with their hair every time. Works get on carpet and hardwood floors.
2oldemptynestersI have the Bissell. Absolutely love it. I have 4 cats and 3 dogs and this vac takes easy care of the carpets and floors. The amount of dust it pulls up is insane! My only advice is keep the receipt! I brought one 5 years ago and have had a new one every year due to some kind of fault (various reasons) I keep getting a new one based on the rolling warranty. Still the best option. I also brought one for my other and my kids all got one when they moved into their own places.
5and5morewhopperzAlso have the bissell and it’s fantastic. Better than my more expensive older vac it replaced!
allbsallthetimeWe buy Bissell PowerForce Helix for 70 to 90 bucks and treat them as disposable as an expense. We mostly do commercial work and usually get at least a year out of them before the beater brush wears out. Been doing this for 35 years, we used to buy expensive heavy duty commercial vacuums but maintaining those got to be an issue. We just came off a trade show vacuuming 12,000 square feet every day for a week, the Bissells were dependable and never failed. Just my opinion of course.
ButterscotchShot1753I got a bissell powerforce Helix from Walmart and it’s amazing. I used to stick with shark but this bissell sucks up everything and makes the carpet look like new (and I have a husky!) I even bought the handheld bissell to go with it They’re like 120 at Walmart
CatLady_998Definitely don't go cordless for work. I really liked the clients vacuums that I used that were shark brand and had lights on the bottom. They worked good and felt very nice to use. The long skinny ones would be good if you have a lot of clients that want under furniture done or tight spaces. I have a basic shark pet vacuum that i bought years ago in my home and i love it. Still works great. I had a Bissell powerforce helix provided by work and honestly that worked pretty good. No fancy features, but it was light enough to carry with a good handle and did most jobs well with regular maintenance on the vacuum (you definitely need to clean the filter weekly if you clean daily) edited to add that last sentence
ConsciousSet9593I would go for a bigger heavy vacuum like a Bissell power force helix with that budget. Usually heavy vacuums are my go to since they are powerful and you have kids. The one I bought was in 2013 however and at that time it was so good. Not sure of the new Bissells since I havent bought them. However i had a cleanview cord rewind a couple months ago and peformed well. Again it's a vacuum that is found at walmart so it's cheap but works very well for its price. However there might be better options I'm not aware of.
If at any moment money is a concern you can get a good Bissell vacuum at walmart for like 150 bucks. Something like a powerforce helix, cleanview, or anything in that style. I remember I bought one in 2013 and it was amazing for the buck. However not sure how is a powerforce helix now a days. I had a cleanview a couple months ago and it worked quite awesome but ate a ziptie and lost suction. However, great vacuum still should last you around five years. If your apartment is in Miami I'd choose dyson animal since they are in fact powerful. However they are at the 400-650 dollar price range. I have a Dyson DC24 used (old) which I recently got and its awesome. Dosen't pick much as a heavier vacuum but the ball technology is awesome and its fun to use so I can imagine how the new ones would be. I'd stay away from cordless vacuums. They are weird and when you use one it feels weird and it feels like its gonna die for some reason and are not as powerful. The heavier the better I feel tho.
