We got a Hoover Wind Tunnel a few years ago and have been amazed at how well it cleans. While there is no bag to change the ~ $40 filter needs to be brushed out after ever use and replaced at least yearly IMHO.
We subscribe to Consumer Reports. The Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Edition U6485-900 $230 had the highest score of all models tested 74/100 but did not get a Best Buy award for some reason. They give Eureka Boss Smart Vac 4870 $169 69/100 (excellent but hard to handle), Kenmore Progressive 35922 $300 72/100 and Kenmore Progressive 36932 $260 68/100 all got their 'Best Buy' award. I would go for the Hoover Wind Tunnel again. Four years of excellent service and no sign of wearing out.
