I live in the tropics and I spend a lot of time cleaning my house due to the constant dust that collects. Its very dry weather now and the problem is worse as the dust just covers about everything by evening despite the morning cleaning! My phllips vacuum broke down some time ago and I wish to invest in another that will help me clean my drapes, a smooth floor and pet hair. Any advice on purchasing a good vacuum for these purposes willl be really helpful.

I would definately suggest you buy an Oreck,I have had 3 Dyson Cleaners and would not waste my Money ever again on them,they were good when they first went on the Market.
Over time they got worse,the last 2 I bought lasted 5mths, and 2 and a bit months,the Guarantees are worthless.
At least with an Oreck you get a chance to try it out for a Month,if you don't like it you can send it back.

I have a Dyson at the moment although it's very good when I need to replace it I would buy an ORECK very powerful but also very light disadvantage it uses bags. By the you get a small light weight vacuum free for doing curtains and upholstery

in case you purchase a north american dyson that's going to be a hundred and ten, you may get adaptors to plug it right into a 220 device in spite of the indisputable fact that it is going to finally burn out. purchase a dyson geared up for 220. home equipment made for a hundred and ten and run at 220 is like putting jet gasoline on your universal motor vehicle engine, it may artwork for a minute in spite of the indisputable fact that it is going to blow up.

the one the cleaning trade use is a "Henry" they are really tough and will take a lot of abuse, I've had one for over 8yrs and it has never given a days trouble 1000watt motor and easy to carry. Dyson's are always giving problems and do cost a lot of money for their filters.

Dyson vacuum cleaners are good for dust.

Electrolux is the only way to go. My sister is still using the one our mother had in the 1960s, and my ex-wife has her grandmother's from the 1940s. Okay, this is anecdotal but it's true.

Invest in a Kirby, they cost a fortune but do everything apart from bake bread, maybe they do that too these days.
