What kind of vacuum do you use? Do you like it?

I recently bought a cheap ($90) vacuum. I think it's a Eureka bagless. It's garbage. The place where the dirt goes into the container always clogs up so I'm constantly taking it out and pushing the dirt down into the container. It's SO annoying. Also, whenever I take the container out to dump the dust in it goes *poof* it's pretty messy. I'm not happy with it at all. And I haven't had it long at all.

Any suggestions? I don't think I can afford a new one right now but I'm considering saving for a real nice one.

I have 4 pets so there is always lots of fur, so I need a heavy duty one I guess. I would prefer bagless unless they're all crappy like mine and just make more mess dumping it then it does any good....

PS: Vacuuming is my LEAST fav chore....!
