I've used the Dyson Ball (my mom's) and the cordless Dyson (my bff's) and both are amazing. The Dyson Ball works really well on the old carpeting at my mom's house AND the wood floors (though it is seriously powerful and can eat area rugs, be careful!), and the cordless Dyson is perfect for my bff's apartment with hardwood floors. Both make me regret my Dirt Devil, lol.

Simplicity vacuums are hands down the best. Best agitation, best suction and Made in the U.S.A.!! No other vacuum compares.

Vintage Electrolux! I have one from the 1930's. On Sled Runners! Still going strong! More than likely any new vacuums you buy today will not last 80 years, let alone a year or 2! IMHO, Nothing Sucks like a Vintage Electrolux!

Shark! We have two...one for upstairs and one for downstairs.
It's like a transformer, the canister is removable and cleans the stairs, drapes, ceiling fan, beautifully!💕

The best vacuum cleaner is a Kirby. My mother just brought her 3rd one. She is 76 years old. I just bought my 2nd. Im 56. I gave my old one to my daughter. They have the same interchangeable parts. The hoses, brushes, etc from an old one will fit the new one. They are just made with lighter weight materials. Thats the reason i bought a new one. Its significantly lighter than my old one. You can only buy one from the Kirby company. They dont advertise. I take it to the Kirby factory store for a tune up every 3 years or so. They are awesome. They last forever.

Living in an apartment, I'm always looking for multipurpose everything. In that light, what does Amazon recommend to vacuum both floors and furniture?
Thank you very much for your assistance.

I recommend a Simplicity canister vacuum. You can dial down the suction when cleaning furniture, drapes etc...can even vacuum over loose papers without sucking them up the hose. Agitation is what you want, and a Simplicity will loosen all dirt, even the deep dirt. Expensive, but most have a 5yr or longer warranty and lifetime belts. Worth the money and you won't have to by another vacuum in 2 yrs like you would with a Shared, Dyson, Bissell etc..
