Rated as a "Best Buy" in a Leading Consumer Magazine. At about 21 pounds, this is a relatively heavy vacuum, but it includes a sealed HEPA filtration system and it's got lots of features.

You get eight carpet height settings, from bare floor to thick pile, and there's also a switch to turn the rotating front brush on and off. Another fancy feature is the ease with which you can switch between floor vacuuming and using the onboard tools: instead of struggling with a long hose, just turn a big yellow knob near the handle to switch the air flow.
