I have a Kirby G4. I have had it about a year and I like it. I actually got it for free from a friend who was getting rid of it. It has very strong suction and does a great job on edges against a wall or whatever. Also, it is self propelled so the fact that it's so heavy doesn't matter as much. I still usually push it anyway because it seems to do a better job though. It has a headlight on the front which is ok I guess, if you like to vacuum in the dark lol The only things I don't like is that it is so big and bulky, it can be hard to carry around if you have back problems or anything. Also it doesn't fit well in tight spaces, under beds, etc because of the size. And the parts are expensive. Overall though, I've been happy with it because the suction is good and it does such a good job on edges, so I don't have to use a hose attachment or anything. Speaking of which, it doesn't have onboard attachments. To use an attachment, you have to actually flip open the front of the vacuum and hook it up, so if you use attachments frequently this vacuum might not be ideal for you.
