I have just purchased a 3 story duplex. It has new carpeting on all three levels. My partner is bringing her cat. His favorite activities are breaking things and shedding. I am looking for a cost effective way to maintain and thoroughly clean the carpets, including the pet hair. Mostly, this would be a temporary situation, maybe for a year or two until I have the time and resources to remove the carpeting and have the hardwood restored. In fact, I hate carpeting with its huge potential for unseen mites and dust and dirt. I digress. So essentially the question is, what type of vacuum will give the best results for under 0? In actuality, I would like to spend less than 0. Thanks in advance for the advice, and no getting rid of the cat is not an option.

Do NOT buy a Rainbow Sweeper. A few years back they were popular in this area. I paid $700..big mistake and waste of money.
I would go with a dyson. I just got one and I am amazed at the ammount of cat hair it picks up. They are pricy but to me well worth the money. For the first time since I got my cat my house actually feels clean. Yeah!
All the household use ones are the same. They do an okay job for several years and expire. They may fit your needs. Kenmore, Hoover, etc. are all the same so just pick the features you want. You may be able to buy a low end commercial inside 500 but they are heavy and with three stories to cover, probably not optimal for you.
The Dyson DC 17 is the nicest bagless upright around and will handle your carpets and pet hair with no problem. It will pick up just about everything. Mr. Vac and Mrs. Sew has a great deal on the DC 17. I mean a really really good deal. If you purchase a Dyson DC 17 All Floors from them for only $499.99 (only available on phone special, not the internet) you will receive a Mini Turbine Tool ($69.99 value), a Flexi Crevice Tool ($29.99 value), a Soft Dusting Brush ($29.99 value), a Mattress Tool ($29.99 value), a Multi Angle Brush ($34.99 value) and a Low Reach Tool ($49.99 value) FREE! That is a $244.94 Value. And they do get that kind of money for those pieces. You get everything the Animal gives you plus the Soft Dusting Brush, a Mattress Tool, a Multi Angle Brush and a Flexi Crevice Tool. (the Animal and All Floors are the same machine just one is yellow and one is purple, the difference is the tools they come with). The only thing you don’t get is the Zorb (which almost no one uses anyway). Plus you get for All Floors with all the tools for $50 LESS! I just bought one two days ago because it was such a great deal. They are just getting them in so it will be like three days before they get it in and ship it out. I highly recommend getting this deal and this vacuum. The vacuum is great and the deal is even better. Here is their number (remember you have to call it in in order to get it, they can’t list it on the internet) (If you want to see all the features of the machine just go on mrvacandmrssew.com and look at the Dyson DC17 Animal and imagine it in a yellow color, then subtract the Zorb and add all the extra tools the package comes with, go on Dyson.com to see them all):
