@MacPack:

I am delighted to see this topic! I have terrazo floors with area rugs, and I am afraid that the Dyson may be too powerful, not to mention heavy (the reason I don't vacuum more often is my old heavy Kirby). The Kirby lifts the edges of my rugs, making it very awkward, holding the edge with one foot while I try and move the vacuum. Does anyone recommend any other brands, maybe a lighter weight one? I am looking at the Dyson cannister, or 'slim' but they are both a ton of money!

Thanks,
Anne in Tampa

They are a ton of money, but well worth it…. IMO

I looked on Consumer Reports and Dyson wasn't listed very high. My friend has one and sweats by it. I picked the 1st one on the list that had a bagless vacuum. I love it. It is a Sears Progressive Bagless with the intelli clean system. It tells you when the particles in the carpet are down to a certain level to be considered clean. However, it takes me about an hour longer to vaccum because I refuse to move from one spot until that spot is officially "clean".
