I Have an Oreck XL21, I LOVE IT i had it for two years with great power in cleaning for the 21 Year warranty this vacuum is NOT over priced it’s a great value, even though it doesn’t have the stupid attachments it came with small canister vacuum and i love it! I was going to buy everyone on my Christmas shopping list an Oreck XL21 Titanium series, but their stupid little brains went over board and now the vacuum is discontinued because Oreck claims it too long of a warranty! But i still got mine with the 12 year warranty and 21 free annual tune ups!

I’m trying to buy a new vacuum that won’t die on me. I’ve narrowed it down to two choices – Miele S163 Universal Upright Stick Vacuum Cleaner (0), Dyson DC24 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner (0). I’ve had the Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle () for a little over a year and it’s already dying (shuts off after 5 minutes of vacuuming, losing suction power). Can anyone offer some advice on the dyson and miele… or if there is a better lightweight vacuum out there (not looking for a canister vacuum).

Thanks!

I see these two vacuums, one is rated at 1300 watts, the other is rated 12 amps. what one is stronger. the models are Shark Pursuit Cyclonic Canister Vacuum, model number EP724, rated at 1300 watts, the page I’m getting this info is http://www.kohlscorporation.com/ecom/valueadded/SG_Vacs_canisterChart.htm .
What are your experiances with the dyson vacuums?
