My second post!
My sister and her husband have four dogs, almost only hard floors, and no vacuum! For Christmas, I am going to fix that. The budget is a bit tight right now, but saw a couple of promising and inexpensive options: Sanitaire SC3683B Commercial Canister Vacuum (Basically a Mighty Mite with some better attachments)- $103.83 or Hoover Commercial CH32008 Hush Tone Canister Vacuum, 9 L - $133.73 (I will have to add an upholstery tool) What thoughts or advice do you have? any alternative suggestions that are similarly priced? Thanks! | ||

The Sanitaire is a great lightweight choice for the money - that long 7 foot hose is a great feature!
My biggest problem with many of these Mighty Mites is the powerful exhaust that blows out the back of the cleaner. It can kick up a lot of dust from the surface of bare floors. BUT - you can add an optional Hepa exhaust filter to the model you are looking at and this should diffuse the exhaust air. If you can afford it, definitely add on this Hepa filter to the vac. | ||

I certainly plan to get the hepa filter and hepa bags if I get it. luxkid1980: That is a great option! I'm almost concerned considering how cheap it is! I am very open to getting a nice used machine, but finding one can sometime be tricky. If you know of any models that are usually pretty cheap, feel free to share! | ||

Another idea
Not sure exactly if it’s 100% an ideal one
But this looks like something decent It’s a bit more at $150 So this one is really just an idea www.googleadservices.com/... | ||

Most of the older Electrolux canister models can be had fairly cheap. I often find them at thrift stores in my area, but they show up on eBay all the time as well. Models like the 1401, 1505 are pretty robust. The plastic bodied Electrolux Epic models also are very nice machines. | ||

The Zing isn't bad at all for the money! I'd replace all of the tools, right down to the extension wand, but other than that it isn't bad! Simplicity style Z bags fit in the Bissell Zing, that's an easy way to improve filtration. The Mighty Mite or PortaPower would be good too, but the Zing would be the cheapest option while still actually being decent!
