Will you rate these five vacuums for me?


There are 5 brands of vacs that I need rated from best to worse. Number 5 as being the best of the group and 1 being the worst of the group. Thanks for your help. I really need it.
The five are Eureka, Bissel, Hoover, Dyson, and Dirt Devil. Rate best to worse please.

    Hoover is the best of these( Excepting Dyson which I have no experience with) but they are not long-lasting , which makes it hard to justify the price. Bissel is pretty reliable for a low -price machine. A lot a Eurekas are so loud it’s intolerable. They are practically disposable I know a friend who helps operate a retreat center and uses Dirt -Devils and likes them, but I think they maybe aren’t super durable- I’ve noticed they are now using some non-Dirt Devil vacs. My personal suggestion is to see if you can get a Sharp. Some of the Sharps have truly extraordinary suction, they are very long-lasting and reasonably quiet.Even the belts last so long it’s hard to believe ( though sharp parts can be pricey–but it’s so rare you need to replace parts on them it’s not a big factor.

    Do not know what is on your list, but Oreck makes the absolute best vacuum cleaners.

    Dirt Devil is the absolutely worst crappiest product ever a broom and dust pan work better than them. Don’t know about a Dyson never used one. Hoover and Bissel do fairly well. Hoover seems to keep on going and Bissel seems to clog every once in a while but clean it out and your good to go again

    OK – Dyson – 5 – far and away the best.
    Hoover, 4 – pretty good, but nowhere near the Dyson.
    Don’t know anything about the others but I guarantee you they are nowhere near the Dyson. Now – if you are also worrying about your bang for the buck – consider how many pets you have, etc. I have 3 long haired dogs, a long haired cat, and 3 kids. The Dyson works wonders. I had a Hoover, it was acceptable but NOT the Dyson. The others? Well, I haven’t had any of those brands since I was single – they were ok for an apartment. FORGET ORECK.
