- Dyson You have probably most definitely seen a commercial extolling the virtues of this brand of vacuum cleaner on the television. The question is whether it is really that great of a vacuum or is its reputation just increased due to media exposure. The Dyson vacuums have really combined top of the line engineering and design, but this comes at a high price. Many studies have found that although it is a good design, it has been found to not be very reliable on a long-term basis, which is not good considering the price of this brand of vacuum.

- Roomba Who wouldn't want to have a vacuum cleaner that moves around the floors on its own vacuuming your floors? It sounds good in theory, doesn't it? The question is how well does it truly work? This battery powered vacuuming device is much like a little robot that roams around your rooms looking for dirt and debris to suck up. Most reviews give this vacuum cleaner high marks for reliability and ease of use, which is excellent. The price is what may turn some people off, because the bottom of the line version starts at around $200. Another downside of the Roomba is the small dust collecting area. It will have to be emptied after every few uses, so that it can work efficiently. We have a Roomba, and it's broken again. It has been a bit delicate and is expensive and a hassle to fix. We aren't sure we're going to fix it again.
