I grew up in a household with an upright Hoover that we used on our wall-to-wall carpeting. When I got married, Spouse had a Rainbow canister vacuum and a bunch of attachments. The one we used (and still use) on rugs and carpet is, well, terrible, IMHO. I always feel like I'm fighting with it, especially if it's not a flat, smooth pile on the surface.
So the house we are probably buying has a lot of soft pile wall-to-wall. I plan to put area rugs in the rooms b/c the carpeting is light and we can't afford to replace it just now.
I'm thinking there has to be a better vacuum attachment than the 30+ year old one we have. Can anyone recommend one?
(We have a Shop Vac and a small canister vac meant for small jobs. It's meant for pet households; came w/something called a "Pet Paw" that we have never used as our rabbit doesn't run loose).
