I never enjoyed vacuuming until I received the Dyson DC O7 vacuum.  I have had it for almost two years and have never had a problem.  It's easy to clean there are no bags to worry about.  I love how well it works and that you can see that it's working.  After I vacuum I am always amazed by how much it picks up.  I also love that it's yellow and if you've seen the trasformer 2 movie you'll see that it becomes a transformer.  Which my kids loved.  My four year old calls it his bumblebee vacuum.  I bought mine a while ago and paid four hundred for it at the time I thought it was well worth...
