Dyson's are pricey, but they work as advertised. I'm still amazed at how full the bin gets using in what looks like a clean room.

We had one of the early models (35 I think), bought a pair on them at Lowes on closeout, $50 each

Upgraded to the "animal" when we got the DRV. Also have the central vac in the DRV which I like to use for projects.
When we moved to our new house we had no vacuums (had a central in the last house) so I got the Dyson V10. Again, pricey but works great.

I still have one of our first Dyson 35's, use it in the storage area over our S&B garage.

For the DRV I ran a separate 20 amp circuit from the breaker panel to the left side of the closet and mounted the Dyson on the wall on that side.

edit - curiosity
Checked my quicken register, DC35 and DC44 for $60 and $70 close out, V8 in the DRV and V11 for the house
