Dirt Devil M0914 Extreme Power Bagless Handheld Vacuum

My family and I have had our Dirt Devil MVP Swivel Glide for quite a long time, about eight years. During that time it has take a lot of abuse: a dog, several cats, a six year old and his friends. It has been nothing if not reliable. The vacuum still works quite well, with only the occasional bag change as needed. I do look longingly at some of the newer vacuums with the latest technology. It would be nice to have the better filtration, cyclonic action or a folding handle. However, if it works, why get something else? The one complaint I have is that the filters are difficult to find and a little expensive. Other than that it has been a very serviceable vacuum and I would highly recommend it.
