I hear Dyson alot!
I Sooooo wanted a Kirby after the in home demo! But my first husband forbid it!
After my divorce I bought an Oreck, its 10 years old now and runs like the day I bought it! Only 8lbs! LOL Its the best vacume I've ever owned! And its AWESOME for tile and my hard wood floors! A bit Pricy but when you add up the years, its actually not expencive at all!
But it does not shampoo carpets
I WANT A KIRBY!!!! For that reason alone!
