I used to work in direct sales and service of vacuum cleaners. In my experience, the best vacuum I have seen is the Filter Queen. It is a canister-style machine with a motorized brush roll power head. I haven't had any experience with the Oreck or Dyson machines, but I can't see where the value is... even the Miele machines seem pretty pricey. Filter Queens have great suction and a nice brush... and the canister-style makes doing stairs a lot easier. The tools are easy on and easy off and travel with you on the machine.
I think a lot of the current machines are trying to say that they clean the air while you're working, and that is something Filter Queen has been doing for decades.
The only negative I see is in the emptying of the dirt recepticle. It can get a little dusty and should probably be done outside or in the garage.
