Well for a good lightweight cleaner I'd say an Oreck. Just get one used to save money, I once found on at the Goodwill for $20 and sold it for $140 on ebay! Oreck also have longer warrentys on them compared to Riccar. I'd stay away from Hoover right now. They have recalled their Windtunnel Ts and they are China/Mexico machines. Oreck is at least made in the USA.(although they parts come from China). | ||

The Hoover Platinum you mentioned is top rated by Consumer Reports. From time to time, I also think about trying this Sanitaire out.

Go with the new Hoover soft-bag Platinum upright if...
you can afford the price and want a highly-rated lightweight upright. It actually performs better than the similar Oreck. The Oreck XL Platinum does not deep clean carpet as well as the Hoover Platinum UH3001,and costs $200 dollars more (though you also get a lightweight mini canister for that price). If you need something more economical, the highly rated Hoover Tempo bagged upright is excellent, quiet and easy to use. It's only $90 at Best Buy. | ||

Hoover Tempo I think it does perform well, but I wouldn't consider it quiet. Just my opinion. Tim | ||

The Riccar Supralite RSL3 was not as highly rated as the Hoo
Consumer Reports. The primary reasons are that it is noisier than the Hoover, is not as easy to handle, and it does not deep clean carpets as well. BUT - it's emissions are a bit cleaner than the Hoover. It is also about 50 bucks cheaper than the Hoover, but as Vacuumfreeke says, you also get a mini canister with the Hoover for the $400 price.

Samsung Quiet jet I would go with a Samsung Quiet jet upright. Very affordable,durable, great value for the price, powerful, light, easy to use. I sold alot of these units in the vac shop to older customers to fit those same needs. Check out the Samsung website. | ||

Hey there Brad.....
Believe it or not, the only Samsung vac available in the USA is a little robot vac. The Quiet Jet upright is only available in Canada. I really don't know how Samsung has managed to make a line of vacs available to the smaller Canadian market, but discontinued them in the larger US market - strange. :-)

Go with the Eureka 1934A
Go with the Eureka 1934A it’s a great vacuum cleaner. I just got a used one from Ebay and I have really enjoyed it. The only complaint that I have is the handle is plastic. However, if it does break a metal handle from a Sanitaire may fit. Any vacuum cleaner shop or janitorial supply should have these handles in stock, since the Sanitaires are so common. Attachments can be purchased for above the floor cleaning. The vacuum, attachments, extra bags and belts can be bought on Amazon. The cord is also pretty short so you will need to use an extension cord. If you are skilled with wiring you could wire in a new cord for the vacuum. Right out of the box the vacuum will be fine, you can always add a metal handle and a longer cord later. I think the brush roll in the vacuum is okay. It is one of the last modern vacuums to have beater bars and they really make a difference. CLICK HERE TO GO TO kloveland's LINK | ||
