Cleaning the edges of the room is also important.
Any recommendations? Thanks!

My next vac will be an oreck; I bought one over 20 years ago and it lasted forever. Probably would have be still around if I hadn't loaned it out. Anyways; thier prices are still the same as when I first bought mine. I spent way more on these other ones to have bought a couple of new orecks. They are light weight and pick up everything. The one thing that I have learnt is not to buy any that claim to say good for pet hairs. We bought two of them and they constantly clogged everytime we tried to vacumm; what a pain.

Purchased the Dyson 28 and love it so easy to switch from carpet to floor. I sugest you go where you can try the different models.(sears)
Hope this is helpful.

I've owed Hoovers, a Rainbow, a Kirby, you name it I wasted money until I bought my Dyson. It is the best ever. I would check in to getting it fixed, mine had a problem and had it repaired and I haven't had anymore problems. It was a switch problem and was under warranty. I will NEVER own another unless it's a newer Dyson!

I don't have cats, but have had a Hoover, Windtunnel for years and LOVE it. It has the attachments for getting into corners and such and I also use it for "dust bunnies" on the ceilings, when I "look up". LOL. I got mine at wal mart.

I have a 45$ vac from walmart that hubs got as a "throwaway for the boat" vac, and I let him take my 600$ vac to the boat and would kill to keep this one - it consistently picks up everything - its a hoover nanolite.
For kitty litter, get a cardboard box, turn it over (open end on the floor), cut out an opening, take a pc of old carpet, or indoor/outdoor carpet - bigger than the litter bx and cardboard bx and put the litter bx on it and cover over w/ the cardboard so that the cats have to jump out on the carpet to come out of the litter thru the cutout hole. sharet

I have a Hoover Platinium. I has a separate push vacuum and an over-the-shoulder unit that has attachments. Great Consumer Reports ratings, light weight (so no more falling down the stairs with the Self-propelled vaccum) and works great on both carpet and hard surfaces. Bought it at the Hoover outlet in Hagerstown, MD, so a good price. The outlet may ship if you're interested in that. HEPA filters, so great with the allergies.
