It seems to me that most of the vac brands are about equal in terms of air movement. I would look at availability, warranty, or whatever other factors might be important. To me, an important consideration might be the cost/value aspect. This would also be a good time of the year to wait for the black Friday giveaway that Lowes usually has on them….of course, there’s no guarantee thew vacs will be a featured item, but history is on your side.
