I think that I have owned them all!! LOL

I had a Kenmore..... lasted about 6 years..... it died

I had a Kirby.... loved it, but it was heavy... Ex-hubby still has it

I had a Dyson...... worked great..... lasted about 7 years (not bad for the $$$)

I now have a Rainbow and a Oreck. The Rainbow will suck up ANYTHING and does a wonderful job.... I also like the scents that you can use in the water... very nice and fragrant. It is a bit clumsy to pull around.
My Oreck is very light weight, and great for daily vacs. (also for my bad back). I use the Rainbow for my "deep cleaning" about every 2-3 weeks.
