Stuck, Need Help. Simplicity Verve, Miele Titan or Calisto

I get wrapped around the axel when it comes to making decisions involving this much $$. My Hoover 3755 has finally pooped the sheets and I am looking for a high quality, durable replacement. I have a fair amount of medium shag carpets, a dog who sheds a lot, lots of wood and travertine floors. I really want the Calisto, but REALLY, REALLY don't want to spend $1k after tax on a vacuum. I have the opportunity to pick up a Simplicity Verve for under $500 brand new, which places it very close to the price of the Titan (close enough to where the price difference is no issue). How does the filtration compare between the 3? I like the idea of having the larger power head which makes me lean towards either the Verve or the Calisto. The Verve also comes with a very comprehensive set of tools. If I REALLY have to, I will pony up for the Calisto if people here think it is worth it, or is the price I can get the Verve for a no-brainer and something I should do? Or the Titan? Help. |

Hi, If Mele has given me anything to write home and rave about it's exactly this. I've continued dogging my Capricorn as a test. Not only in the process of regular cleaning but for stuff I don't do ordinarily. Last week I put a long needed fresh coat of paint on stair risers, woodwork, etc., Some sanding needed to be done first and I used the Capricorn to clean-up the fine dust and the residue from old sanded down paint. The high-filtration bag was already full but the bad change guage hasn't come out even a quarter of the way toward the full point. My can's bag chamber is still remarkably clean and looks nothing like the picture posted. To me, that's what counts. I'm not at all worried over what's sealed but what is captured up front.
