There are so many to choose from…bagged or bagless? Canister or upright? HEPA filter or not? And then there are brands…Bissell, Hoover, Eureka, Dirt Devil, Dyson, Windsor…the lightweight Oreck…the door-to-door brands of Kirby and Rainbow (uses water)…the German made Miele and Sebo…the American manufacturer, Riccar…there are literally hundreds of manufacturers and even more models to choose from…it’s a tough decision, especially when you realize that one size does not fit all!
