We had one for about ten years. Great vacuum. We replaced it because a stupid maid tried to pry it apart instead of just pushing a button. We upgraded to a new canister model which is even better than the first.

We nearly bought a Miele. They are very expensive (and also made of plastic). We ended up finding the top of the line Dyson canister vac on clearance at Sears for 50% off, so that was a deal that we couldn't pass up.
