Help picking Barbeque, Luggage, Vacuums, Appliances.

Hi!

Some ?'s for ya:

Luggage: which sets have the best attributes/quality for the price? I know TravelPro and Samsonite have great reputations but are very expenesive - is there something I'm missing?

Barbeques: do you have one and where did you get it? Which one do you recommend & why?


Vacuums: for a house that has 1/2 hardwood floor and 1/2 carpet - which one works best for both?
At fortunoffs they have a couple - but not too many - some aren't recommended for hardwood floors and now I'm wondering if there is anything out there that satisfies both.

Appliances: Some offer chrome (shiny metal color) and stainless steel (which is less shiny but grey/metal colored) hard to explain. If you want a stainless steel kitchen, do you think it looks bad to have both of these colored appliances together?

Thanks for your input

BBQ I would recommend getting a Weber. If anything ever goes wrong with it they send you a new one. They last forever.

Vacuums: I love my oreck.

Luggage: Whatever brand you choose, make sure it is made from Ballistic Nylon ... its a very strong material for luggae. Also, consider choosing a color other than black, red or gray - they are the most common and the hardest to pick out at the airport conveyer belt. You may want to consider a pattern even.

Vacuum...go for the canister. It has attachments for both wood and carpeted floors. If you have pets, really invest in a good one. In Huntington, Sobel is great for picking out vacuums. They are very honest and don't try to over sell you. I have a Kenmore canister and two dogs and it has last a very long time.

I LOVE my Electrolux vacuum!!! It was pretty expensive, I got a GREAT deal on Ebay for 1/2 price, but it rocks!!
