8. I have 2 vac's, one on each floor. Dyson & Hoover. Both are bagless with filters.

I seem to be the only one who does not like their Dyson. I find it heavy, cumbersome and the wand is a pain in the neck to use.

The Hoover is easier to use but tends to blow dust out when I start it up. If I had the means...and good advice, I'd get rid of both and get a canister.
Both my daughters also have a Dyson, one uses her canister far more. She feels as I do about the Dyson.
The other daughter has the 'animal hair' model and loves it. Her dog sheds an incredible amount of fur.

I will say that the suction is excellent on both machines and the filter care is simple.
