The best vacuum money can buy?
My Dyson Animal bought in 2005 (maybe 2006) is still kicking ass. No problems AT ALL. It weighs a ton, though, twenty pounds or close to it. It's getting retired to the downstairs (family room, laundry room) tomorrow when my Dyson V8 Animal cordless arrives. I'm twenty years older now and with my blown back I just can't wrangle that beloved old Animal any longer.

Vaccuum For A Broke College Student
Not sure what you consider “budget” but I splurged and spent $250 a few years ago on a Dyson animal that was refurbished through eBay. I’ve had it for nearly 9 years now and I think it was 2 years old when I got it. That thing is amazing and has been the greatest investment I made.

Best vacuum for pet hair?
Eh I've had a dyson ball animal hair vacuum for 10 years and zero complaints. I had to take it apart and clean the internal filter once.

BIFL Request: vacuum
I have a Dyson I got off of woot! in like 2011. It's been a beast. It's one of the 'All Floors' models. I have replaced a couple of the hoses over the years (after first dealing with them ducktaped together...), but otherwise, it's been great. Maybe cost me $30 in a couple of hoses. I think I paid like $150. It's been WELL worth it!! :)

What’s one product you bought that has lasted forever and was totally worth it?
Dyson fans - I have 1 tall fan (only does traditional fan), 2 short chubby fan/heaters, and 1 smaller fan/heater (a few years newer). All have filters. 2 of them have been running almost 24/7 for about 6 years. 1 of them has ran probably 40 hours a week for about 5 years. The last (newer one) I use probably 8-10 hours per day 3-5 days per week, and have been doing so for 3+ years. I also have an old school Dyson animal ball vacuum that I bought in 2010. I gave it to my son a few years ago for his first apt and it still works great. All of them work great and they are amazing fans if you maintain them and change the filters.

I have a Dyson cordless Animal and it’s perfect for me. I also have a really nice almost new Kirby ($800+ price tag) I picked up for $10 at a garage sale because the people didn’t understand you could replace the belts for a couple dollars. I use the Dyson all the time because it’s so much easier and less mental commitment for my ADHD brain to pick up and use a cordless vacuum whenever I need it. I can vacuum for three seconds and put it back before I get distracted. Easily worth the money because now I actually vacuum as opposed to getting stressed out about the whole process of plugging in, lifting, storing the giant Kirby and not vacuuming at all in the end.

YMMV, but I have had a Dyson Animal, the non-upright one... since 2009. Its still kicking and we have had a smaller sheddy dog, and now two larger less sheddy dogs (pit bulls). It still works great. It. looks like the upright version is #12 on this list. I don't think that was even available when we bought ours, but either way I think Dyson can be good. I personally prefer the canister too. No worrying about having to mess around with bags or find replacement ones.

I’m sorry, the cordless Dyson isn’t that great for carpet/rugs so I wouldn’t rank it that high. The attachments are excellent for their specific uses like couch/mattress, the nozzle for corners but I have the old school Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner and it’s sooo much better for rugs. Vacuum’s with cords for the win!

I have a Dyson upright pet because everyone else in my family does and we all love it. No one's had a single problem, and it sucks the everliving hell out of pet hair-filled carpets. Think the first one of us to get it has had it 10 years, some almost as long. Mine's a refurb I got 5 years ago and it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

After 50 years of dedicated service, our Electrolux Super J has breathed its last.
I’ve had great luck buying used Dyson’s at Goodwill. Got a DC17 for $10. Replaced the filters, disassembled and cleaned the cyclone, new brush roller and it runs like new! Did the same with an original Dyson ball too. Dyson gets a bad rap, and their newer battery powered vacuums are bad, but they use powerful brushless motors and do have good power. I think the $50 I have into mine beats anything in that price range I could buy at Walmart.
