I was hoping to get away with the Mag-Float from DFS. The price is a lot lower. Does anyone have any experience with this brand?
Thanks, Jim

I used the mag float for years, and it was ok. Bought a Magnavore earlier this year and it was worth the extra money.

Magnavore is the way to go. Some people put a pad on the inside in addition toter suction and it cleans better. the pad that comes with it to give it a bet

Thanks everyone for your inputs. Being a 'newbie', I'll start off with the $14 Mag-Float) cleaner and learn from there. Jim
