after suffering through 20+ years of a giant monster that kept smacking me around as I tried to awkwardly use it, I want something better

what's a good stand-up vacuum cleaner I can clean carpets and my couch cushions with, without needing three arms to keep it steady while I use the extendable tube form or whatever

please, I need your expertise

fwiw I have a Dyson animal ball thing and it's a great upright, but the hose is definitely unwieldy and cumbersome for stairs or upholstery. I def need help from my wife to hold it steady when I'm trying to use the attachments. at the price ... it's prob not what u want

Purchased ... uh, winter 2022? I just find the hose a bit stiff and so I find it tough to angle without the base going toddling off, or I have to leverage the hose on my shoulder so I can angle it back down and get the angle I want. Not my favorite for anything but the floors.

i have lived with a ton of pets and the standup animal dyson i got worked for like 6 years before i sold it to a friend. it worked fantastically for that time. i have one of their handheld versions now. buying a dyson from clearance or on the occasional costco sale is so worth (but still pricy :eggbug-sob:)

this looks like a new version of my old one: https://www.dyson.com/outlet/refurbished-vacuum-cleaners/uprights/ball-animal-2-vacuum

(also their tangle free heads are MAGICAL, not even my long wispy hair gets stuck)

we have a Dyson, I do not know the model but it is lightweight and works well for us. the vacuum itself is small and handheld but you can attach a long nozzle for the floor
