Just a suggestion: don't say the word "don't" in front of "...buy a (insert manufacturer's name here). There may be people on here who either have the vacuum you named, or might (gasp!) want to get one, no matter what others may think.

P.S. I have no opinion whatsoever on the Garry because I've never even seen one, much less used one, and have no particular interest in getting one, but what are the strengths and weaknesses?

I remember as a kid laughing at a neighbor's car, and my father reprimanded me for making fun of other people's possessions, because they might like the car in question, or that car might be all they could afford in their circumstances, etc. etc. That lesson made a big impact on me.

Aside from that, when I read threads on these forums, I like to see constructive comments, such as Rob's above. I like to know the pros (and yes, cons) of machines I don't know much about, even if I'll never see or get one.
