thank you everyone for you input. I took the advice of several of you and researched the Shark lift away, it gets such great reviews on line, so I decided to buy it. Hope it lives up to all the hype.

I have a Ryker upright, commercial model. Told the guy at the vacuum shop I have a golden retriever & 2 cats, and I sew/quilt a it. I was looking an used Electrolux - even used it was expensive! The shop guy said if you can an older model Electrolux, grab it. This Ryker was on sale and does a wonderful job. You just have to plug it in!

Exactly, Kerry. If you vacuum 2,3,4X a week your house will be much cleaner than if you vacuum once a week, no matter which vacuum you buy. GO ROOMBA! (But I think we're in the minority here.)
