If you're willing to spend that kind of dough on a vacuum,, check out the Rainbow. MUCH more effective at trapping all dirt/dust/dander. SInce y'all have allergies and asthma, I highly recommend it. I used to sell these and they sold themselves

I didn't get one, as i didn't sell enough of them to qualify for the free one. Couldn't afford one back then
