I had a Kirby. It was built like a Dodge Weapons Carrier.
I had a Dyson. It was plastic bullshit top to bottom, with little complicated latches, flippy-outey features, and tiny fragile flanges. Coulda been made by Fiat. I threw it in the trash when some brittle plastic gave up and it wouldn't stay together. Disposable consumer product.
Now I have an Oreck. It's simple and sturdy. It does not have a purple plastic easy-clean dick-sucker.
