    I love Riccar. Long cord, lightweight, and cleans well.

    I really like my light weight Miele Neptune, but I have mostly hardwood and area rugs. One drawback is that the bags are small and seem to fill up too quickly.

    I have a nice Oreck and a small hand one. Between the two they are perfect and so light weight. Works for this old lady.

    Roomba IRobot. I "poke go and go sew"! the roomba does it all for me. Once a month or so I take my hand me down hoover for a spin through the house, but seriously, the roomba does a good job. You can even program it to start on it's own on a regular basis.

    I have had my Dyson for almost 7 years, and have never had it in for repair. I bought a lower end Miele 300 for my quilt room downstairs and I hate it!

    Why?

    The head is very awkward to use, and it does a poor job on carpet. I have mostly laminate, but have some large throw rugs that can't be picked up and shaken. I will give the machine one thing though, it is pretty quiet. It they made a power head for it, it would be fine.
