Thanks. Should've updated that I got one already, because being 2 weeks before Pesech, I was not able to wait too long for answers.
We borrowed a neighbor's Hoover Elite Rewind Plus and my wife liked it, so I bought that exact model from Walmart for a little over $100. Don't think it will last too long, but it serves the purpose for now... I may need to come back to this thread sooner than later, but hopefully not until next year.
