Best vacuum for small apartment without pets?

[LionKCommander]

You need a sanitaire SC899 it's a widetrac you would be done vacuuming in minutes and it's center suction so it will have true edge to edge deep down suction.

Conclusion

Mom still can't afford a new vacuum yet, and now wants to stick with Dyson. If I really wanted her to get a new vacuum, I'll have to buy one myself and give it to her. I don't know when that'll happen, though.

In the end, I've learned to "let it go" and let Mom enjoy the Dyson DC07 Animal. She disagrees about the Animal model being "too much" for her.

Everybody's suggestions were nice, but Mom doesn't like bags. I don't know a whole lot about Sanitaire.

I am done in this thread now.
