I was a diehard Dyson fan. Never thought I'd go back. Until mine bit the dust and I asked the salesperson if there was anything comparable.

I ended up with a new bagless Elextrolux. Half the price. Power is the same if not better. Actually the power is adjustable to you use what you need. The adjustable power also means you can adjust the noise.
Tools are the same (well it's a three in one tool so only one extra to cart around). Doesn't fold up as compactly, but I can live with that.
