Hey guys!  I forgot to mention Air-Storm, Patriot and Miracle Mate.  I would never tell anyone to buy any of these brands new as they are ridiculously expensive.  However, second hand or re-built, I can't think of anything sturdier.  More  recent models come with Lindhaus type power nozzles but substituions are easy to make.  I also substituted all-metal Compact tools for carpet and bare flooring. You can't get more durability than that. 

There are now HEPA pre-filters that should fit any of these models if filtration concerns arise.  With the HEPA filter, cloth bag and paper disposable paper insert I think you come up with a winner quite easily.  Of the three, Miracle Mate is the only one of these molded metal beauties that includes a cord reel.  Noise level for all is not great but bearable.
