Just purchased a new Dirt Devil for pets 140000 today at Walmart.  My former Dirt Devil Vision vac finally 'bit the dust' after 5 years as the handle broke off and cannot be repaired [although the machine still works]. Having looked up vacuum cleaner reviews on every website imaginable I remained totally confused since there are SO many brands, models and prices around - $60? $300? Bagged? Bagless? Cyclonic? Dual Cyclonic? Upright? Cannister?, etc., etc., etc. I looked on line at EBay, Sears, Circuit City, BestBuy, BJ's, Sam's Club, Walmarts and other 'direct sale' websites. Fact was I needed...
