Here's another Consumer Reports article on Upright Vacuums. How many times have you needed a new vacuum and you head to Walmart and pick one off the shelf only to have it shoot the dirt back at you! I have listed below the best uprights according to Consumer Reports and also listed their CR Best Buy. These blend performance and value.
Best Uprights for Most
Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Edition U6485-900 - $230
Miele S7210 Twist - $475
Kenmore Progressive 31069 - $200
Eureka Boss Smart Vac 4870 - $160
All four bagged models are fine for pet hair. The first is self-propelled. The second is pricier but quieter and better on pet hair. The third weighs the least and the last costs even less but lacks suction control and gives up some airflow and handling ease. The last is in slot 13, while the Hoover was rated number one! I think it is worth it to spend a little more money and get the vacuum rated number one by CR.
FYI - The Dyson is a bagless vacuum and was rated 24th, 40th and 41st place depending on which model was tested. These range in cost from $430 to $600!! Doesn't sound like a great deal to me!
