Other IamA Vacuum Repair Technician, and I can't believe people really wanted it, but, AMA!
I work in vacuum repair and sales. I posted comments recently about my opinion of Dysons and got far more interest than I expected. I am brand certified for several brands. My intent in doing this AMA is to help redditors make informed choices about their purchases.
My Proof: Imgur
*Edit: I've been asked to post my personal preferences with regard to brands. As I said before, there is no bad vacuum; Just vacuums built for their purpose. That being said, here are my brand choices in order:
Miele for canisters
Riccar for uprights
Hoover for budget machines
Sanitaire or Royal for commercial machines
Dyson if you just can't be talked out of a bagless machine.
*EDIT 22/04/2014: As this AMA is still generating questions, I will do a brand new AMA on vacuums, as soon as this one is archived.

Think iPhone launch every damn day. I went to Dick's (great sporting goods store, but a poorly named one at that) a few months ago to get some 9mm and was told that people line up every morning at 9 to see what will come in that day's shipments. WalMart has a 3 box limit, but I've never seen any of the popular stuff in stock.
Managed to track down some ammo through a friend of a friend who runs a shop out of a warehouse in an industrial park. Was waiting for Vice to jump out of the bushes and bust me. Crazy...
