Electrolux Nimble EL8602A 3-in-1

The LG LuV400T did a good job with short carpet, but fizzled in other areas. It's hard to recommend this hefty machine for its equally hefty price tag.

The Electrolux Nimble EL8602A 3-in-1 is a fairly strong performer.

The Kenmore Progressive Glide performs admirably at a more than reasonable price.

You can count on the U6485900 Anniversary WindTunnel on all surface types.
