If I have wooden floors, oriental carpets and a dog, would the Capri suffice and save me $100? Or will I wish I'd spent the $100 for the Delphi?

The Delphi has great suction power and it's adjustable so if you need to lower the power on an Oriental rug you can. The one downfall of the Delphi is that the attachment for hard surfaces is very small. I'd invest in a larger attachment if you have a lot of hard surfaces. Something like this: Miele SBB 235 Hardfloor Smooth Floor Brush

Well, I have owned both models. The Capri is perfect for bare floors and great for low nap carpets. If you have lots of dog hairs etc. you may find the beater brush on the Delphi important. What I really love about the Capri is that it is very light - easy to carry around. What I love about the Delphi is that it's beater brush takes no prisoners when you switch it on. It really depends on your cleaning needs for the carpets. For the bare floors, Capri hands down.

Depends on the dog's fur, I think. The electric hose and the motorized brush really do make a difference but if your dog's hair clumps, I feel like the difference might not be as big. I'd probably go with the Delphi with any pet, though. That's my personal opinion.

The Delphi has a electric motor powered head. The Capri's head is powered by the suction of the unit, I don't think it would clean as good. That is why I went for the Delphi. As the other person answered that the hard floors attachment is small, I use it only around the edges. I use the powered head on all my wooden floors.

Honestly can't say anything about the Capri, we have linoleum, mobile home carpet, and a dog. Daughter has all wood or tile and cats. Both of us have the Delphi and are happy with them. Question is, do you pay it now or pay it later.

Based on product descriptions the Marin sounded like the best model for us. We have one dog - a large one that sheds constantly - and like you, mostly hard floors with area rugs. We've had the Marin for a year now and are very happy with our choice.

I have hard wood floors it sucks up all the dirt very well and it you engage the brush roller it helps enormously. I don't have a dog but I am sure it would work very well, overall it is a great vacuum cleaner for the price. I use my sister's Dyson when I am home in Australia and frankly I think the Hoover is as good -but better value!

I would check the Miele website or amazon to see how much it costs. You get two floor brushes and all the attachments with this model. The floor brushes that are included are the one for hardwood floors and also the motorized one for rugs. You also get the motorized small brush which I think is what you're referring to.

I'm thinking of asking Santa for a Roomba for no other reason than pet hair. I have dark walnut hardwood floors and a new golden retriever puppy that sheds like a summer shearing. His hair flies across my floors when the ac/heat kicks on even though i have a swiffer vac that i use SEVERAL times a day. I see your post is almost a year old, i've read several that loved their Roombas for only a few weeks or months....do you still love yours and do you think it's worth the price? Kelley

I bought the Premium Parquet Brush for use with my C3. The parquet brush is my husband's favorite and I prefer the regular floor brush. It really seems to be a matter of taste. I'm not sure the purchase would really be worth the money. On the other hand, the small turbo brush is outstanding on steps and when cleaning the car.

I personally wouldn't recommend this couch because it was kind of pricey ($500 to me is expensive for a temporary couch) and it was hard as a board. As far as durability, it was fantastic. We have a dog that sheds A LOT and the couch was easy to vacuum, and if we had to, we could take the cushion covers off and wash them, no problem. It also looks great aesthetically. However, the cushions were so hard that no one wanted to sit on it, so we ended up selling it on Craigslist and getting a nicer, comfier, softer couch.If $568ish is low cost for you and comfort isn't a super high priority, I would say go for it. It looked like new when we sold it 2 years after purchasing it. Hope that helps!

If you have little ones, I am sure your flooring is smooth. YES! It will work. I have a large amount of tile, and this mop is perfect. The Swiffer was too small. The industrial ones were $300. Too much. This one is perfect. I use it almost every single day. It is great. I bet you will love it. But, if your floors have anything that could catch the mop, it will not be worth it. It is natural cotton, and would catch on splinters. They suggest that it be washed with natural soap. I am planning on using Dr. Bonners. The mop also has two settings for themop head. Proba ly more than you want to know! It picks up everything. If you have little ones, I am sure your flooring is smooth. YES! It will work. I have a large amount of tile, and this mop is perfect.

It's an old marketing trick -- it sets a floor price in your mind. Your are stuck evaluating the $100 difference and the $399 (original) price doesn't seem quite as bad. So, you buy the baseline product and think you saved $100.

I've owned 3 different carpet cleaners over the years. I can say without hesitation the Big Green is FAR superior. This was way out of our price range but after doing research & reading all the reviews, we decided to go for it. It was worth it!! This will be the last carpet cleaner we will ever have to buy. I know you will be just as happy and impressed as I am. Watch/ search for a good sale price. Ours went on sale black Friday for &299 good luck!!

I have hardwood floors in ~ 780 sq ft home with a dog and no stairs. My hoover now sits in a corner lonely. Roomba does a near perfect job. I bought low profile rugs specifically with Roomba in mind so it can climb up them. Runs 3 times a week.

That's hard to answer as I don't own a Dozier to compare....yet. They are very similar in materials used and price point and I have heard good things about the Dozier lineup. Between the two, I think it would basically come down to which style/design you like most.

I would say. Go to a Petco or a petsmart some of the stores sell the same type for more money but you can check it out hor yourseft. Good Luck

Hello- we purchased the Delphi and the special parque floor brush about 2 months ago and love it. We use it on our rugs, hardwoods and kitchen tile. It works great. I had borrowed my sisters previously before buying to make sure it was worth it and it was! In fact my parents got one too because they were so impressed with its versatility and effectiveness (we have a 1 year old, 3 year old and a cat) so we use it every day !!

I really don't think I can help with this question. The only thing I can think of with a difference would be this one has all the attachments and the steam 100 lhr doesn't. So if you only want to use the product to steam floors, then the cheaper would probably be fine. The one with attachments, expands your cleaning options to other areas of the house.

Definitely a lift away. I have two large fluffy dogs and am to the moon happy with my choice. It's worth it-completely. We have mostly all hardwood and laminate. A few large area rugs.

I have wood floors and the best dog in the world. I added a 12 inch floor brush from sears parts, and the vacuum works great. I dumped my dyson boat anchor.
