Re: Dyson: upright vs canister?

I haven't seen the Oreck mentioned. Not good? Cost too much?

I have an Oreck which I brought from the home I sold in South Florida and am not particularly happy with it. It spends most of the time in the second floor closet. It works best on very low pile carped or bare floor. There is no height adjustment for pile height. The model I have has two speeds. Bag seems to clog up rapidly if fine dust is picked up.

I recently had carpet replaced in our master bedroom. The carpet installer used a bagless Eureka upright and swears by it. It has a larger capacity dirt cup then our Bissell bagless upright which we use on the first floor. The Bissell has a pile adjustment which is very handy. The only complaint I have about the Bissell is how difficult it is to clean the filters. According to the carpet installer the filters in the Eureka are much easier to clean than the filters in the Bissell.
