... just for clarity. Quality or performance is not my issue with Hoover. Their blatant taking from others is.

WRT the HOOVER S3825 and Fred's question, both quality/performance make this model a viable contender as a bagless canister. It's heritage is VAX, a decent and reliable brand, now incorporated into TTI Floorcare of North America, the parent of HOOVER amd other American born vacuum brands. The S3825 price of $189 is very good and COSTCO has a very liberal return policy if dissatisfied with the purchase. Besides being bagless, a feature I don't like in full size canisters, it lacks one more feature I would prefer that it had: The gold standard of carpet cleaning and grooming: HOOVER WindTunnel technology. Even at an additional $50 cost to the canister price, I would recommend the WT feature which is found on the H-S3755/S3765-040. It makes a marked difference in time and effort of vacuuming.
