I have the Hoover Windtunnel canister model, which has a HEPA filter -- the air that blows out is cleaner. I used to get sinus headaches whenever I vacuumed, so no wonder I didn't like to do it! Worth every penny I paid for it five or six years ago.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Bissell vacuums have a huge following around here, for those without half a grand to drop on a Dyson.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
CR top-ranked upright is Kenmore Progressive with Direct Drive 35922, for about $300 (Dyson is a lot further down the list). Top-ranked canister is Electrolux Oxygen3 Ultra EL 7020A for about $500, then three more Kenmore Progressives.
An online membership to CR is, IIRC ~$25, and probably totally worth it for a purchase like this. I signed on just to decide on a cell phone.

Well, I've never had it clog until trying to suck up the enormous quantity of pine needles left in the wake of my tree. What annoys me is the fact that they designed each end of the hose with a curved, non-removable as far as I can tell, plastic attachment that basically means you can't check for, or fix, clogs easily. Stoopid.
In the end, I basically had to beat the clog out of the hose.

I bought this one right before Christmas and with sales and an extra 10% off, it was $200. I love this vacuum. It tells you when there's no more dirt left to suck up. The first time I used it, the carpet looked like it did they day we moved in. It's very quiet, and perfect for allergies since it also uses a HEPA bag. I will never buy another. Me + the Kenmore = OTP.
Dyson? What Dyson?

Okay, duo or twin strollers and convertible car seats (not the scary eject from the base kind).
I love you. you rock.

All this vacuum talk reminded me that dad and I finally figured out what the roomba reminds us of : horseshoe crab.
Of course, I now want to attach a tail to it.
