Blasphemy! Kill the non-believer!
I agree to an extent, I do find our Dyson very good. However, we have wooden flooring throughout so massive suction isn't really that important. Instead I like the Dyson as it is light, compact and well made.
Got a tip for us?

dyson dc24... its amazing IMHO: compact, powerful and makes vacuuming a lil less of a dreaded chore
I have this Electrolux vacuum, except mine is gray. We still have more than 2000 bags for it!
We probably won't get through all of those anymore since we just use this $6 handheld vacuum we bought from Brandsmart USA more often now.Miele
The guy at the shop didn't recommend any other brand.
Very quiet and best for people with allergies; both important to me.

I have 2 Oreck's that I love because of their simplicity and decent performance. A Kenmore canister for doing stairs and tight areas, and I have 2 Rigid 14 gallon shop vacs for cleaning my shop.
I have a SEBO Automatic X4
They're more expensive than Dyson (by a fair amount), but when I was doing my research all the reviews seemed better.
It's a conventional style of upright vacuum - but with a lot of attention paid to the engineering, the filters and the placement of the brush. It's my understanding that for carpeted areas, the dust-removal is really enhanced by a powered brush, and the only way to get that is with an upright style vacuum. The SEBO senses the carpet thickness and automatically adjusts brush height while you're vacuuming.
I've had it for a few years and it's certainly the best vacuum I've ever used.

Have you used a Henry? I had one and I thought it was the worst vacuum I'd ever used. It would pick up larger items (sometimes) but it totally failed with smaller particles. I have a red rug that is inexplicably fabulous at collecting dust. To get this annoying rug clean with the Henry I would have to tediously take the hose to it inch by inch. It took about 20 minutes, just to clean a rug! Useless POS.
That same rug will clean up in 30 seconds with my Dyson. I actually think the Dyson is rather mediocre (because it does sporadically lose suction) but it's a hell of a lot better than that Henry ever was. A lot of people seem to like their Henry/Hetty hoovers but I can't share in that sentiment.
Dyson = Masters of Suction.
I wish I could afford to get one, I have this cheap as Kambrook thing that has the tiniest baggless bag thingy ever.
Dyson DC 35 Multi-Floor is an amazing little gizmo. Its rechargeable, and allows you to get into the little areas and steps that my other Dyson DC 25 Animal just can't get into that well.
I know Dyson's are a love-hate kind of thing, but coming from a crappy Kenmore that lasted about 3 years before dying... we are in vacuum heaven.

Dysons everywhere. The original handheld (don't know the number), a DC11 and a DC23 Motorhead. Love all of them, except that the cord is a tad too short.
