After having several high dollar vacuums break after less than a year, I decided to buy a cheap one so it would be truly disposable.   The Hoover Nanolite is still going strong!  After using my old windtunnel to vacuum one room, I re-vacuumed the room using my new nanolite.  I had to empty the canister twice and whack the filter to get the dirt out.  How horrible to realize my carpet had been that dirty for who knows how long and that a $50 vacuum could have done the job right the first time.

Pros:  lightweight, inexpensive, easy to store, works like a trooper, sucks dirt like nobody's...
