[QUOTE="sireluxomatic, post: 126158, member: 229"] I have precious little experience with uprights; I was never a particular fan of them and only recall using one a few times over the years. An aunt had a Genesis which I used a few times, but I never paid any attention to its cleaning ability. So far, I've done the living room carpet twice with the Discovery III, and I'd say any of the canisters I have, coupled with an airtight hose and good power nozzle, do a noticeably better job. I'll qualify that by saying that I've never done any sort of maintenance on any of my machines, other than changing bags and filters, and making sure the brush rolls are clean. If I restored all of my machines to peak efficiency, the results might change a bit. All that said, I like the Discovery III. It's slim, trim, and simple, not difficult to use, has the easy-change bag system like the canisters...I'm glad to have it and it'll see regular use. Re: plastic. I think its proved its durability for sure, considering there are AP machines from the early 70's still intact and in use, although I still do prefer the metal canisters. Thanks for that info on the vinyl hoses; I thought it was around that time, but wasn't sure. [/QUOTE]
