i adore this philips model which you can find in fortress, broadway, etc.

i love the telescoping handle, that the different nozzles are all stored in the arm, the "mousewheel" where u can adjust the suction power on demand, the HEPA filter, the touchless bag design ...
oh and most important of all, the handle can be fixed to the underside of the machine so you can store this thing vertically, with no disassembling ever.
