Maybe the Black & Decker Air Swivel? It usually sells for around $50. It is bagless, so cleaning performance will suffer. I've never used one, so I don't have any personal experiences with it. I would recommend a bagged vacuum though. They're so much more sanitary.

That Black+Decker Air Swivel vacuum looks tempting. I looked it up on Amazon, and it has a 3.9 star average rating.

Love the design of the Sebo Felix - you can even hang it up on a hook in the closet. It’s got swivel steering and a top fill bag. If you don’t need the power nozzle for carpet cleaning, the Felix Kombi is a less expensive version with just a combination rug and floor switchover nozzle. Comes with an onboard attachment hose too!

Sorry to disappoint, but the Sebo Felix is way too expensive; in addition, it's bagged. What I'm looking for is an AFFORDABLE vacuum that has swivel steering and is bagless.
On a side note, I realized I accidentally put the wrong tag in this thread: "Recent Vacuum Cleaners from past 20 years." I should've selected "Brand New Vacuum Cleaners." Oh well. |

I had the Vax/Hoover Air Lift Steerable. I can highly recommend it. Light, maneuverable, well cleaning and fairly cheap bagless vacuum.
It has multi cyclonic system so the filter maintenance is quite minimal. Build quality is ok and perfect for the elderly people. I would stay away from the Black+Decker Air Swivel. It's cheap and light, but that's all. - inner diameter of the hose is size of the middle finger. - suction/air flow is VERY low - it's hard to push even on the low pile carpets - it is almost impossible to use on other than very thin carpets - it eat belts a lot. + it's light + it's cheap |

Looks like I'll stay away from the Black+Decker Air Swivel.
@HonestJoe68 Perhaps I should check out that Dirt Devil Razor. It sounds like a good deal. @eurekaprince My mom has mostly carpeting in her apartment. @fan-of-fans Those Kenmore Elite Crossover vacuums are a little expensive. Plus, we don't go to Sears. I'm leaning towards one of the Hoover Air vacuums, particularly the Air Steerable. |

@niclonnic Miele H1 sell for $199. Also it can be upgraded to a power nozzle if necessary.

Keep in mind the React models cost a little bit more because of the detachable feature but from what I hear, reviews are mostly positive so I don't think you could go wrong with those.
The Air Swivel line up sounds and looks nice. But however, Black and Decker from what I heard discontinued them and parts could possibly be hard to come by in the future. Shark doesn't sell repair parts to anyone really except for sending the vacuum back to Shark and fix it themselves. |

Fair enough, but you should definitely visit a vacuum store and see if they have any swivel type models. |

@niclonnic I would definitely stick with Hoover if you want a Bagless machine on a budget then.
A few major advantages with them. Heavily discounted often Local service centers for warranty! Parts availability. Though the idea of bags being more expensive than Bagless with filters is a false notion that's been proven over and over again. |

The Air Steerable? I've been eyeing this machine for quite some time now. It's currently $100 on Amazon.

@niclonnic definitely a good now do you just make sure you plan on changing HEPA filter about every 3 to 6 months they're rather inexpensive$10-20 the cotton filter that's washable washes clean when you're done vacuuming very very well. The Cyclone is also easily broken down for cleaning.
I used one of these as the store vacuum for about a year . |
