They rated the best vacuums. Does anyone know the top 5 or so?

The Eureka 4870 Smart Vac Boss has been a CR Best Buy for the last
couple of tests. One of the Kenmores was rated a little better, and can
often be found at attractive pricing.

Years ago I bought the step-up model of the Best Buy Sharp upright. It
pretty much performs as tested - a little weak on edges as tested, but
it was well worth the $150 price and is still going strong.

CR criticized the Sharp for lack of tools/attachments, but the extras
from our previous, now junked machines work perfectly with it.

The PU-2 bags are hard to find, but are a very cheap buy on eBay(30-40
at a time).
