Shark vacuums are just as good if not better than Dyson. I've had Filter Queen and Kirby and the Shark blows them away. Reasonably priced. Buy direct from Shark @ Shark.com. Not affiliated, just love them.
I agree. As a former Dyson owner I would not pay the $ they want for a Dyson (lasted only 6 years). The Shark is just as good if not better and they re all just plastic anyhow. I have two Miele's and wish I had bought a Shark. My housekeeper loves them also.
