I recently canned the aforementioned cheapo vacuum and bought a Kenmore 36932 with Intelliclean. It's excellent. It has a feature which actually informs you when the carpet you're vacuuming is actually clean. It was about half the price of a Dyson.

I used to sell Oreck vacuums back in college. Overrated. Bose-like. Stay away.

LOL, thanks for the feedback! Noted.

I guess I'll stay with my original plan of pursuing a Dyson and hope they're not as difficult to empty/clean as our current bagless.

It's really not a problem to empty the Dyson - just make sure you have the cannister over the garbage pail, and you'll have no problems.

It's really easy to empty. Just click out the canister, then press the button over the trash can.

The Scooba uses a Clorox cleaner, but it does not contain bleach. They warn you about using other products, and doing so can void the warranty (which is great, btw - they totally replaced my first one, no questions asked, when I had problems). I love my Scooba! HTH
