I have a really old cheaper model that's still working but I don't use it anymore. I think I paid around $65 for it. It has no filter and it takes bags.

Last year we pulled out all the carpeting to expose the hardwood floors and I've been using an ancient Hoover canister that I've used for years on the tile floors. It's so old I don't remember how much I paid for it. It's that old I've had to go online to buy the bags for the past 9 or 10 years.
