6151F Multifunction Carpet Cleaner

For big jobs, the Vax 6151F. For small spots, the Dirt Devil Handy 150. The little 150 is about the best mini hoover, and it's reliable. Dated 1990, and still works well. Has a long power cord (which means even better - NOT battery powered!), and it looks pretty cool too. The big Vax... We had a similar one in the past. Had it from the old house in the mid 90s to about 2020, and worked well. It's reliable, big, industrial looking, and powerful. https://preview.redd.it/4wlmn1aodenf1.png?width=278&format=png&auto=webp&s=e522bc33da609716dc07909d85e3671778de16cf EDIT: Actually, thanks for this post! You've reminded me... It's been nearly 6 months, so I need to replace the filter in the Vax, and the Dirt Devil probably needs another oiling and drive-belt.

Bought a refurbished Dyson v10 from their eBay store. Have had to replace a few parts that I broke over the years, battery is still fine too. I also have a plug in vax for the longer deeper vacuum jobs!

I went for corded Vax. It's usually stronger and far more affordable. They also tend to last longer imo.

Depends on your situation. We have 4 dogs, and are slowly doing a lot of DIY. We had a cordless and it was just not up to the job, a Dyson V10. It is pretty much dead after a few years of constant heavy use with bits falling apart, so bought a corded vax and are very happy with it and don't find the cord obtrusive at all due to its design.

Honestly I’ve had a corded Vax for 5 years and it’s been great but with a 7mo and how small our house is I just don’t have the room for it anymore 😭 I’d love to secure something to the wall I just need more space it’s killing me 😂 thank you!
