But what's this about a DC15? This was posted a year ago, and I still haven't heard anything about a DC15 coming out... was this a hoax?

They mostly have bag vacs but they still do a better job of cleaning than Dysons. Go stick a nickel in front of a Dyson vacuum and it barely moves because it's not agitating the carpet. Stick one in front of the Royal vacuums. The thing will spin and vibrate b/c the Royal is essentially shaking the dirt out of your carpet.

This thread has been around for the longest time, so I thought I'd update for anyone who is *still* waiting for that killer deal!

My parents live in the area... that's the Home Depot I go to whenever I need to help them fix something in their house. I like the new target there.
Anyway, I was about to post about today's woot but shaun3000 already did.

After going through several vacuums, we finally bought a Dyson. It's a great vacuum. Cleans carpet well (we have dogs), upholstery well, hardwood well, and it's solid a rock (heavy as one too). Had it for about two years now (DC-14). It's the best vacuum I've ever had, bar none.
Got a great deal using a combination of my Kohl's card at the 30% off coupon from Fatwallet. It was under $200, brand new shipped, after all the discounts.

well, wife is not happy that i paid $1600 for a vac even though she doesn't use it... so, to make her happy, i returned it and get a cheaper one. From Consumer Reports and various posts on Amazon, the Eureka is very good. Also, i have used the Eureka, for $140, man, that thing is a great buy! Really sucks (suction)

Jesus! $1600 for a vacuum. Did you not make a thread first and consult?

Bought the DC17 a few months back and I absolutely love it. I've never owned/used a better vacuum. I only saved 10% at Best Buy (plus the $30 in Reward Zone coupons), but I know to look better for the next time (which hopefully won't be anytime in the foreseeable future).
