Dyson V6 Bagless Cordless Stick Vacuum: Experience strong suction power without the hassle of a cord with this dynamic vacuum. The motorized cleaner head is perfectly suited for all floor types and the bottom-release dust cup lets you empty debris with the simple touch of a button.
This vacuum works great on hardwood stairs with the extension and brush attachments, and even great on my low Berber carpets. Great performance relative to its size and weight. Battery time of 15 minutes give or take is not bad considering the size/weight tradeoff. Charger wall mount configuration is pretty slick, and not to mention fairly robust!
iRobot Roomba 860 Robot Vacuum: Let this robot vacuum create a healthy living space for you with its AeroForce 3-stage cleaning system and iAdapt navigation. The HEPA media filter removes harmful dirt, dust and pollen particles from your home.
I'll be honest, I had my doubts at first and made copies of my receipt :-) Although it's not perfect, the iRobot does an incredible job at unattended cleaning and also re-docks itself when complete. The only drawbacks are that it tries to climb up and over my chair frames that are about 3/8" thick and get's stuck every once in awhile. Other than that, I am very pleased thus far.
