Dyson DC 21 

We were initially skeptical when reviewing the vacuum because of some of the mixed reviews it has gotten from various media.  But after testing out the Dyson DC21, we've come to enjoy this vacuum quite a bit, as it has the same great features of several other Dyson models that we have come to love.

Some pros about this vacuum include: The canister / hose style of this vacuum makes it great for people with back troubles and have a tough time pushing around an upright vacuum.  The suction power is great and is on par with previous models of the Dyson vacuum line.  As with other Dyson vacuums, there is no filter to replace and no bags to worry about.  Just periodically clean the built in filter and clean the canister and you are good to go.  And finally, the low profile makes this another great vacuum for getting at hard to reach places, and to top it off, it is extremely quiet!
