Depending on what you have in your home. Generally uprights are more suitable if you have mostly carpets and canisters are more suitable if you have mostly hardwood floors.
What else are you looking for? Do you have any pets that sheds hair? Are you looking for something lightweight? Do you have allergies? And how much are you looking to spend? |

The BEST thing you could do is to ask the maid which one SHE wants. She has to use it. It makes no difference what collectors say on the matter. Collectors are going to suggest what they like (Kirby, Rainbow, etc.) but the maid may HATE it. Then you are just out money. Just take her to the store with you and let her pick it out. Happy Maid! Happy Life!

Buy what your maid wants. She deserves a lightweight machine that is easy to use. I used an Oreck when I worked as a Janitor in a hotel in the past. It was so light I could carry it with one hand. If you can afford a maid, you can afford Oreck's higher price. |

My usual recommendation for a large home owner is a pair of vacuums: an upright for carpets and a canister for everything else. I use a suction-only canister (no powered carpet nozzle) to clean a room from top to bottom first (using all its tools and brushes and attachments) then I finish off the room with my upright to deep clean the carpet.
My dynamic duo of choice these days is the Miele C3 Alize canister and the Hoover Platinum Lightweight Bagged upright. The Miele is quiet and easy to use and has great airflow through the hose. The Hoover is lightweight and deep cleans carpets with excellence - it also has a nice long cord and very large bag to collect lots of dirt. The Hoover comes with a little portable canister which I don't use - gave it away to a friend - but the package is still worth the $300 just for the upright itself. This Miele + Hoover duo gets the job done with excellence and with ease....and cost me under $1,000. |

Lindhaus makes awesome vacuums, they are one of my favorites of all time. The white one you probably used was the Healthcare Pro and that's Lindhaus's best upright. And the blue one is the Activa 30, it's our best selling Lindhaus model because of the price. They are both excellent vacuums, however the Healthcare Pro is more expensive than the Activa and that's because the Healthcare Pro is more powerful, you can get better filtration, and there are more features that you can use on the Healthcare Pro. I own a Helthcare Pro and it's one of my favorite vacuums of all time. In fact, the Healthcare Pro is the only vacuum that I'm taking with me when I move out of state in a few weeks.
If you like the power of the Helthcare Pro but if you don't want to have extra features like the Activa, I would highly suggest to get the Diamante lineup which looks the same as the Activa but it's just as powerful as the Healthcare Pro. |

A lifetime belt??? How is that possible? Unless it's direct drive you will have to replace the belt at some point but if it's geared then that also interesting. I didn't know that high torque applications can use a geared belt? |

Lindhaus makes good vacuums, interestingly, they're not as well known, they don't advertise very much, and purchasing their vacuums is not always the easiest, but they are made very well. They also make a great power nozzle. I'm still thinking about getting the Aria canister if I can find a place that carries it, most on line stores don't. Mike |

Go to a dealer that carries central vacuums and try one-esp the tool kits that can be included with the machine. |
