In the past month, a vital metal cam on my just out-of-warranty Dyson broke -- so now it won't switch between the wand and brush ends -- and the brush has stopped working. It's time to buy a new vacuum. We like not having to deal with bags, so we want our next vacuum to also be a bagless upright vac.

Has anyone recently bought a vacuum and have anything good or bad to say about it? I'm currently leaning toward this Panasonic, based on reviews and price.
