I've owned a number of upright bagless vacuum cleaners, and they have all sucked (well, they've actually all stopped sucking to be precise). The Dyson claims to never lose its power, but its also 5x more expensive than the average upright. Is it worth it?

We used to own an Oreck and it was good, but the bags were expensive and it is really, really dirty to change them. When the Oreck finally went kaput we went to the local Oreck store and saw our model is now $899, yes that's right. Oh yeah, you get a bunch of free crap you don't want or need and you a get a 30 day trial but no way is it worth it.
Bought the Hoover that was in Consumer Reports, it did OK but it was really noisy, so bad it hurt my ears. It did a fair job cleaning but spewed dust after about 6 months and was always a hassle to clean.
So I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and they recommended the Dyson. This is the best vacuum in the history of the world. It cleans incredibly well, it is quiet and it doesn't spew dust when I clean out the canister.
I will never buy any other vacuum, but based on my two years of heavy duty use (I even use it as my shop vac) it doesn't look like I'll ever need another one anyways. I had one piece break and when I called Dyson they sent me a free replacement with free shipping even thought the warranty was expired.

I recently bought a Hoover Fusion Cyclonic Upright Vacuum, Model U5180. It's actually proven to be 13% better cleaning than a Dyson, lasts just as long, and is only a little over $100 at WalMart. No filters, on board tools. I love it!

It has proven to be the best vacuum cleaner by far that we've ever owned. I would highly recommend it.

Get the Oreck. They suck quite nicely. No, really. Get the Oreck, you won't be disappointed. We are on our second one. The first one was used almost daily for my wife's cleaning business and lasted 7 years.
