    Does anyone have one? Are they worth paying the extra money for?

    I really like the bagless deal and I usually buy a new 200 dollar vacuum every couple of years just because they seem to stop cleaning as good no matter how much I clean them out and take care of them.

    So... is a more expensive vacuum worth it? Either Dyson, Kirby etc...?

    I don't have one. I heard they were like 5-6 hundred. Chip probably has two.

    My vacuum is bagless too and I like it, but after I vacuum a few times I'll put the filter in the dishwasher to clean it and it takes a few days for it to dry before you can use it again. I don't like that part.

    Is your filter actually safe to wash or do you do like I do and just wash it anyway?:clapclap:

    We gots one. Best vacuum we've ever owned, hands down. That being said, I'm still not sure it was worth the price.

    Rainbow,Owned one since 1984 and wouldn't own nothing else. The Dyson placed dead last in consumer reports ratings.

    Borrowed one once and it was really, really nice. I only have carpet upstairs so I can't justify paying the price. I just use my Hoover.

    According to Consumer Reports, Dysons aren't that good. Go with a top of the line Hoover.
