We have a cat and some allergies, yet it might be only once a week when we're super into it. Usually every 2 weeks.

And I love my Dyson piece of propaganda. Not the ball but the animal one without the ball.

Wife vacuums at least twice a week on the main level. Probably ever other week in the upstairs and basement where all the carpet is. Main floor needs it that much with the dog shedding everywhere..and my wife. How either of them have any hair left is one of life's mysteries.

At least once a week or when it starts getting noticeably dirty, which can sometimes be a couple times a week. Love the Dyson ball for getting around everything.

Wow all you once a weekers make me really embarrassed to answer this question. Our main floor and couch probably get it every couple weeks, but we have mostly hardwood on that level. Upstairs 2 or the 3 bedrooms get hardly any use, so it's less often than that. The basement hardly ever gets used to it's even less than that, except for the areas by the storage where the cat goes.

Sheets and blankets are a different story since our pets live on our bed. That's all the friggin time.

The Animal by Dyson really is awesome. A literal life-saver here after a plague of allergy problems.
We do weekly, and more after the rest of the family visits the family members who insist on using stuff I'm deathly allergic to. In that case, we vacuum right when they get home and some more during the week.

This week, probably about 4 times, just to give my lungs a happy home.

Twice a week due to dog. Hoover Wind Tunnel is great at picking up his hair and due to reasonable price, can afford one on both floors at less cost than the Dyson, which makes me more likely to vacuum when I don’t have to haul it on stairs.

At most once every two weeks, and sometimes up to 4 weeks. We both hate vacuuming, so it quite often gets pushed off.

At least once a week. With a Golden Retriever, Cat two kids (one of which is almost crawling) it is a never ending battle. We just got done cleaning most of the carpets and have decided to make it a goal to do that every six months.

Roomba vacuums daily, big game changer getting that thing. Even before we had a roomba my wife would basically do it once every 2 days though, our dog sheds a lot and 2 kids under 4.

Ya kids and pets will do it. We have no kids and our dog doesn't shed so it stays relatively clean. The hardwood floors on the main level get cleaned way more than stuff gets vacuumed.
