[blparent] looking for very powerful vacuum any recommendations?

Hi,

I didn't like the bissel wand either.  the dyson's wand is perminantly 
attached and stores in the back of the handle of the vacuum so all you have 
to do is lift a cover and pull it out.

I have a Bissell vacuum, and it's okay.  Not great, but okay.  I do love the
feature of emptying the receptacle directly into the trash, so no more
changing bags all the time.  What I don't like is that the wand is difficult
to attach and remove.

>> Try Orek. They can be pricey but they do have good deals.
>> I like your shop vac idea. Why does the loudness bother you?
