I felt that way buying a Miele vacuum cleaner. A stupid fucking vacuum cleaner became the highlight of my year of a purchase. It was $500, but this fucking vacuum cleaner ... these Germans went haywire on thinking about every aspect of it.
Dyson is crap (all marketing). Miele vacuums are absolutely amazing! And supposedly easier to repair. I can't vouch for that part because I've never needed a repair in about a decade.
E: It's fairly quiet, mobile (just the casters are wonderful), ridiculously powerful (I have to actually turn down the power dial sometimes), compact, lightweight ... er, I guess that is it.
E2: Oh, the bag takes forever to fill up! That is the one con, the bags are costly ... but they take forever to fill up!
E3: Women would think, "You bought me a vacuum cleaner?!" eyebrow raised ... me, I"m like, this is fucking awesome!
