Dyson Ball, hands down. We have not one regret on the money spent. I LOVE my vacuum! You can use 20% off coupon at Bed Bath & Beyond and save a good chunk of change or Macy's promos/discounts if you have a card with them. It is really one of those things that you get what you pay for. We have a lightweight model (great for me on the stairs) and it keeps up with 3000sq ft home, hardwood, area rugs, carpet. True workhorse, does it all & gets everywhere!
