I had dirt devils for awhile-each lasted exactly 1 year, and died. I then switched to hoover--i have 2-1 upstairs and 1 down and love them both. one has a bag (which I empty and reuse over and over with the help of duct tape) and the other has the cannister--it is great if you have kids and you vacume up a toy part--you can see it in the cannister to retreive it.
