This may not be a good vacuum cleaner if your home is fully carpeted (the brush head is just plain useless on carpet), but my home has all wood and tile floors. This is easily the most powerful vacuum I've ever used.
The suction is so fierce, with a new bag you can lift a small child or pet directly off the floor. Any and all pet hair within a foot of the suction head is sucked directly into it.
The retract/extend feature of the wand is also handy, because the vacuum is easily stored in a coat closet. The wand locks into the bottom of the vacuum when it is standing vertically.
Filtration is incredible. I'll never use a filthy bagless vacuum again.
I'm not a particularly into home cleaning devices, but this vacuum is so bad*ss I just had to review it.
** Edit 10-2011:
What started out as a powerful, light home cleaning device ended up in the recycling bin after less than three years. The handle is very poorly designed and will split in half, casting the main switch (impossible to fix). The wheels on the head are so fragile that a drop from waist height will snap the axles off. Finally, the clever retraction mechanism for the main tube turns out to be little more than a lock. When it seizes, the tube is frozen in full-length position.
The motor never lost power. Everything on the other side of that hose was cleverly designed but poorly manufactured.

I've owned this vacuum cleaner for a few years now. I have pets, so there's always lots of fur to vacuum up. Although this vacuum is light weight and easy to use, the carpet head constantly clogs with pet hair. I do not recommend this vacuum cleaner if you have lots of pet hair to vacuum up.

The reason I ended up on this page is because I was looking for replacement parts for the Magic Blue vacuum. Bought it more than 2 years ago and found it and excellent vacuum for some $90, then. Now Sears has it for about $100. Amazon.com's $300+ must think we are in the Amazon with no other options.
The one star review that claims that the brush stopped turning after some 6 months is because he does not know that he needs to CLEAN it of hair and strings that spool up on the brush and get it stuck. The brush is not motor driven but turbine driven from the vacuum suction. The vacuum is a very good machine, extremely flexible and the low hardwood sweeper profile allows access under most furniture, from all angles. I never owner super expensive vacuum cleaners, but this one beats by far a $300+ upright I had. After 2 years the canister/vacuum is still in its original working performance, wand had stuck (it normally is adjustable lenght), hardwood sweeper is coming apart, handle with switch broke when I dropped it on the floor too many times but I redesigned it and made it break proof. Carpet sweeper as good as new. I am ready to buy another one if I can't find the hardwood floor sweeper replacement (its swivel bushing has worn out and is not repairable). I might attach a video sometime to show the relative simple way to reinforce the handle and prevent breaking.
Cons? a little too loud but for the size, easy to carry along and the suction power it's got to be

I purchased this in a Sears store for about $50 and it was the best $ I ever spent. Love it. QVC had a similar type that I purchased a year later for the second floor of my home... Read more

I have owned this vacuum for about (5) years. Not bad for 90.00. There are tons of heads that fit this vacuum so you don't necessarily have to use the one it comes with. Read more

Was so excited - but JUNK
Was so happy at first that I recommended it to my parents. It was light enough, seemingly powerful, was built very solidly (metal wants with strong latches), navigated great. Read more

Great little Vacuum
I have had mine for 6 years and the suction is still as strong as the day I got it. With a house that has 1 dog and 1 cat, I vacuum all the time and does a great job. Read more

Great suction...but ONLY for a few minutes!

I really like this vacuum...
I really like my Kenmore Magic Blue canister vacuum cleaner. I also own a $750 Miele canister vac that works NO BETTER than this $99 Kenmore.
