I will need a new one soon. I am thinking about a Dyson. I have been told they are the best. All I know is never get a Bissell. I have had 2 Bissells a vacuum and a rug cleaner. I hated them They are loud and the older they get the louder they get. Mine was so loud my kids would hide when I turned it on. I still have the rug cleaner and it is soooooooooooo loud I wear earplugs when I use it
