We just bought a Dirt Devil Reaction on Saturday. We needed a new vacuum and wanted a Dyson, but didn't have the $ to spend on it. It has the same type of technology with cyclonic suction and is bagless. I crushed up crackers and stomped them into the rug just to try it -- it's SO NICE! It's about the same weight and size of the Dyson. Here's a link for it: Dirt Devil Reaction The best part? It's only $159! And it has a 4 year warranty on it -- pretty good for the price. Aside from the Dyson, I haven't seen a vacuum with more than a 2 year warranty on it.

*I just saw it online at Target.com for $149 -- I got mine at Home Depot, and paid $10 more.

WOW! I just may go get one! I recently spent a small fortune ($250) on a hoover wind tunnel and am not thrilled. Thanks for the review on this.

thanks for the review, I have wanted a dyson for some time but didn't want to spend the money

let us know down the road if it's still holding up or if it loses any suction or power

Wow--that's good to know! I agree...please let us know in a few months if it is still working so well. I bought a bissel recently that actually pulled fuzzballs from a few inches away (via its great suction), but now its filters get clogged and I have to remove & wash all 4--yes, 4- of them every other time I vacuum! UGH.

If yours has no bags or filters--it should remain as Dysonriffic as it sounds!!!!

Thanks so much for this review. We are looking for a new vacuum and found this one at Target and on their site for $149. I really wanted a Dyson and dh told me not a chance. We have a dog, a cat and 2 boys and was hoping to find something that kept up with the crumbs and fur. My dh loves the idea of no filter and we both want another bagless one. I heard that this one is as good as a Dyson but good to know how much someone on here likes it! This is the one we'll be getting then.

This is the best vacuum! I just got it yesterday and couldn't wait to try it out. Boy the stuff it gets up out of the carpet and we've only been in this house a week. I had no idea there was that much stuff in the carpet already! It is definitely worth the $149 I paid at Target. It's very easy to dump out the dirt and it is not messy, doesn't go up in a cloud of dust. It's not heavy and easy to push and not as loud as I thought it would be. I love it!
