...without worrying that your Walkman will get tangled up with the vacuum's power cord. There's even a hook to hang your headphones on. Of course, you still have to haul the vacuum up and down stairs and push it around the floor. But hey, what do you expect for $499? The Oreck XL is available in stores or by phone...
