We are definitely not vacuum poor. We have a Dyson at the office and upstairs at home. A Rainbow and a Shark Navigator Lift Away downstairs and some cheesy stick vac that needs replacing in the FW. My Rainbow was my favorite vacuum for years until we replaced all the carpet with hardwood floors last year and now it just seems to be too much trouble to deal with. It is much easier for me to just grab the Shark and clean. It also has the hard floor dust attachment which I love. The Dyson is great but occasionally the fittings on either side will come loose and it will lose suction. If it ever seems to not be picking up well, I just reach down and secure all the fittings. Then it will suck the flooring off the concrete if not careful. I have been considering replacing the crappy stick vac in the FW with the Shark Rocket. Glad to hear someone say something about it.
