cheap vacuum cleaner image
The Hammer
An upright model or a canister model?
I have never used a vacuum cleaner before. So, have no idea about the strengths and weaknesses of either type. I want a vacuum cleaner that will be good on Marble floors, Corners, Crevices, Small hard to reach areas. (I do not need to vacuum any carpets, stairs and I do not own pets)
If I want to vacuum walls, can I use an upright vacuum cleaner with attachments to do the job conveniently?
Answer
Ugh.
Canisters and uprights are just a mater of preference. Size, brand, quality/pricerange and power are more important to consider.
Vacuums aren't the best choice for hard floors or walls. I don't even know how someone would vacuum a wall. I suppose you could use the hose with a soft brush attachment for getting up dust.
On solid surfaces like tile or hardwood floors any cheap vacuum or shop vac will do. The more expensive/multi-purpose vacuums have motorized brushes for cleaning carpets -- you do not want that for solid flat surfaces. You can use the hose with a soft brush attachment for getting up dust.
In reality, what you need is a broom.

What is a decent inexpensive vacuum cleaner to buy?
Wind On Th
Money is very tight right now and my old, old, old vacuum cleaner truly bit the dust permanently. When I went to wal-mart to look at new vacuum cleaners I became rather confused and bewildered over the selection. I have been left behind with the 1970's style vacuums. Yes, I know - it's rather pathetic.
Can anybody out there make a suggestion? I do not want to spend over $150-160. I have short pile wall to wall carpeting and linoleum.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
I recommend trying to find a used Electrolux at a thrift store, yard sale, or pawn shop. This the old style Electrolux, not the new ones found in department and home improvement stores. They're much better than most new vacuums purchased today, and you may be able to get one for far less than your price. I've picked them up for around $20 before, and with some repairs, still comes up to less than $150. It should last for years.
You can buy cheap new vacuums, but they generally don't last long, and the warranties usually aren't as good as they sound.
