Need help finding a powerful vacuum
Hey y’all, I’m new here and could really use some vacuum recommendations 😅
I’ve got dogs going in and out of the house, plus a prairie dog and a rabbit that use pellets and wood chips. The problem is my prairie dog *loves* throwing wood chips all over the carpet, and it’s a pain to clean up. Half the time it just clogs up my vacuum.
I’ve tried picking it up other ways, but honestly vacuuming would be so much easier if I could just find one that actually handles it.
I went down a rabbit hole watching carpet cleaning videos on Facebook and saw someone using a Henry 160, but when I checked Amazon reviews, they seemed kinda mixed (more bad than good). I also tried a shop vac and that didn’t go so great either.
If anyone has found something that works for this kind of mess, I’d love to hear it!
