22. I'm happy with our canister.

It's an Eureka 3670G Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum.

We have a Siamese who sheds like her lost fur is the only thing holding closed an interdimensional portal that opens onto an army of demonic tentacled zombie cyborgs.

I also suck at vacuuming. I get to it sometimes, but when I do, the vac seems to get up all of the fur.

Before this one, we had a Dyson pet schmancy thing. I actually bought the little canister because a) the Dyson was in the shop, and b) I figured it would be nice to be able to vacuum out the car from time to time. The Dyson turned out to be not-revivable, and so the canister has been it for the last 2 years. I like the canister because it has a bag -- much easier to clean out. And it handles both carpet and hard surface easily. As well as being easy to get to ceiling fan blades and spider webs.

Also, it was $60 at amazon. Even if it quits tomorrow (unlikely), I totally got my money's worth.
