They are very effective, and use a water bath instead of a paper filter, resulting in much less dust (important if you are allergic.) Unfortunately they cost over $600. Gag. Failing that, get a good quality upright vacuum like Hoover or whatever. You can get them almost anywhere for under $100. Make sure it has a beater to get all the grunge out of your carpet. If you need to do other vacuuming tasks, get an industrial wet/dry vac. I got a 'Shop-Vac' at Best Products (a catalog showroom type place) for under $60, and use it for removing chrome from trailer hitches and such-like..... Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc.
