I can't imagine using any other kind. However, he has been dead 10 yrs and no idea how they are now since Electrolux has started making appliances too. They used to be expensive, less so now I think. At one time it was door to door only but I think I have seen them at Sam's. Suction and throw away bags are a must. My Dad used to carry around articles about how they keep down allergies etc. So at least look into them. My Dad was of the opinion that if you weren't going to buy the best, might as well buy the cheapest sinceall the others were terrible. I have not looked at your blogin awhile so will do so. PS You must have the cleanest house in Memphis.Shearer100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905587082836277907.post-46100063850894190642011-05-28T11:14:29.188-05:002011-05-28T11:14:29.188-05:00Hi Allison.

We have had it for probably 10 years and paid close to $500 at the time. Okay, so far, I own everything you say you do not want! Having said that.....I love this vacuum. The suction is better than any vacuum I have every owned. I love not having to remember to buy bags. It seemed in my past life I was always forgetting to buy the bags and I could not always find the one I needed to fit our vacuum. I just take it to the garbage can open the trap door and it all falls in the trash. I touch none of the yuk! I once owned a canister and hated the fact that it would tump over and always seemed to be in the way. However, that was 20 years ago and I am sure the design is better. Dyson does have newer and lighter weight versions now. Not sure if they have "lighter weight" prices. Having said that, I look at a vacuum as a major appliance purchase (particularly with your vacuuming needs) and recommend that you invest in a really good model. They don't make applicances like they used to. So read up on consumer reports! But I vote Dyson bagless and will buy another one when my dear purple upright friend departs this earth.Sjohnsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905587082836277907.post-68338579279074572102011-05-27T06:35:53.199-05:002011-05-27T06:35:53.199-05:00OCD Husband=(broken vacuum+stong wife+clean house)...OCD Husband=(broken vacuum+stong wife+clean house)Christopher Cooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905587082836277907.post-47084665755712469042011-05-26T10:58:26.294-05:002011-05-26T10:58:26.294-05:00Purple animal dyson.
