i hear the Dyson sucks, pardon the pun seriously!
the concept is good and i heard it really doesn't get clogged... but i also heard that it's actual sucking strength? pull? force? whatever it is called, it very weak compared to normal 12amp vaccums.
if you really want a no frills quality vacuum that will last for a decades with average home use look into industrial hotel brand vaccums!!!!
One of the most popular names is the Oreck XL vacuums though they are considered the low end of the industrials but work great and last long! cheapest model starts at i think $350? and they now have models with hepa bag filters etc. and come with decent warranties, the more expensive models come with longer warranties and year free servicing.

"put the famous 8lb oreck XL to the test" hahaha

Yup. My mom is still using hers from the early '80s. Works like a champ and picks up more crap than todays vacuums.

Well I can only compare it with what I have which was a kenmore canister and a dirt devil upright. Both of which are decent perfomers, but when compared with dyson, the sucking power on dyson really out shines both. I like to use the low floor tool on my carpet cuz my gf has really long hair and I don't like the hair getting tangled inside the drum. The low floor tool will literally suck the hair and whatever dirt that's inside the carpet out, after which I would go over the floor again with the drum to groom and clean the carpet.

Costco has good return policy, try it for a week

We have two Kirby G3's and they suck like a muthafvckah.
You can't lose with a Kirby. They're super cheap at ebay and the little vacuum cleaner store downtown.

Kirby does not allow warranty transfers IIRC
