Hi old-timer,
 
As you know, I prefer canisters to uprights any day of the week. I'm not sure how long the bagless craze will last. Unfortunately, the majority of big box stores seem to have a high percentage of bagless on display.  
 
Last time I visited Walmart they had maybe one or two low-end bagged machines and the rest (over 8) were all bagless with those dreaded pleated dirt bin filters. I wonder how long it will take consumers to finally realize they don't work for long?

Hi Bruce and Carmine .please dont tell anyone about the bin filters, at least until we sell out of them. There is more money in the filters than selling the vacuums. [Example] Hoover empower sold new 69.95. 2 bin filters twice a year 50.00.

Carmine, We both know about the teflon coated filters , To clean them properly it takes over a half an hour, and thats if you dont wreck them during the cleaning process[canned air?]. It's just not worth the time and aggravation, the average customer will not do it either. So the upkeep on these inexpensive vacuums within 1 year cost more than the initial cost. I really dislike all bagless uprights.

 It seems that Dyson is changing some things on their site. They no longer tell you 270 Airwatts power on DC07, 240 Airwatts power on DC14, or 220 Airwatts power on DC15. They say airwatts tells you how good it is but they put the following: DC07- 12 amps , 18.56 lbs., DC 14- 12 Amps, 18.56 lbs. , DC-15 -10 Amps- almost 20 lbs ( temporarily out of stock).

Hello M00seUK:
 
This dyson TV commercial aired on the Monday morning ABC news network today at 7:30 AM.  Conspicuously absent from the commercial both verbally and in writing, the dyson trade mark words: Never Loses Suction.
