I prefer the Broom Vac. I'm more old school where I'd rather replace bags, like having a switch on the bottom, can use attachments unless you add the Dynamite Plus to this conversation, built in Ohio, and known to be reliable whereas I don't see many Dynamites holding up anymore. I like that Dynamites have belts on the side instead of the center, has a squeegee which is better for bare floors, filters can be washable and save on not having to buy bags, and the cord is alot longer. But the other reason why I prefer the Broom Vac is because it feels better on my hands. My red Dynamite is just rather awkward to push and pull around with, not to mention they have a design flaw where the wheels like to come off (my old lime green one did that). Honestly, I think these would've been fine for like trailers or RVs' that only gets used once in a while. I personally would not want to own or recommend either one for an apartment.
