Replaced our Dyson upright with a Miele canister -- it's considerably easier to use, and picks up dog hair better. It uses more consumables but the combo pack of a filter + 4 bags they sell will cover about a year of use. Overall I'm much happier with the Miele.

Oh, yes! Certainly Miele. Built lake a tank and actually works.

Although Dysons do have a more futuristic look, but that's not the most important part of a vacuum.
