Hi guys,
I am moving to a new apartment and looking for a new and good vacuum cleaner. My price range is < $300. The apartment consists mainly of carpets and a bit of tiled floors on the kitchen. I am probably looking to buying an upright vacuum cleaner as I have heard many things about it being better/stronger in sucking the dust than a barrel vacuum cleaner (is this actually true? what do people's opinions on this?).
Please state the brand and the model of the vacuum cleaner. Thanks!
Hopefully these two links will be helpful to you:

We also had an earlier thread where people raised which Brands might be good:

As far as upright being better, I personally think they would be difficult to use in cramped spaces or other hard to reach areas, not to mention your car. Can you imagine hauling one of those into the back seat of a Getz? As you might see from the link above, Myer has a Hoover Freespace Cyclonic Bagless Nano for $229 save $30. I'm quite certain I've seen 30 year old Hoovers that are still going strong if that's anything to go by.
Also, if you settle on a certain model then I think it can be easier to look around for the best price on it.
