I Love Dyson Vacuum Cleaners
 

OMG, I've wanted a new vacuum for some time. While I loved the Oreck because it weighed next to nothing, I hated it because you had to have a funky hand vac to use attachments (which I could never get to work). And it never seemed to pick up all the stuff on the rugs, forget the hardwood.

I took the plunge and bought a Dyson Ball DC15 and my apartment will never be the same. The 5x8 area rug in my bedroom, I pulled enough hair out of it to create a second cat. OMG! My mother would be so proud of me, I'm actually happy to be cleaning house.

Well worth the $400 (on installment payments, yay!) :snap:

Sounds like a much better result than our recent attempt at a new vacuum.

We got a good deal on a Roomba. Unfortunately, the poor thing just is not equipped to handle the kind of mess that comes with bunny ownership. Namely, the hay that tends to end up around our living room gave it fits and all it did was pile it up (mixed with fur and dry litter) at the edge of the rug. We had to send it back. And we were so excited to own a robot :(

I wish Dyson would build a robot vacuum - that would be the greatest invention ever.

We have a Dyson Animal vacuum- it rocks! I am amazed by the amount of hair and dirt it picks up. Well worth the investment.

I know what you mean about a new vaccuum. I don't recall which one I bought - but it's got the removable tank instead of a bag, and a washable filter.

The first time I used it, I realized just how much my old vaccuum needed replacing. It was, frankly, embarrassing just how much dirt and hair and stuff it picked up. It's very gratifying to empty it after vaccuuming and know that all that's out of the rug.

A new vaccuum! Who knew it could bring so much joy!

I've been trying to convince my parents to get a new vacuum for close to 5 years now. They have an ancient Oreck (or some other brand name vacuum) that is probably older than me. They swear it's still good because it's an industrial one. Ya, not so much. Maybe I'll buy them a Dyson for Hanukkah.

I looked at the Animal, too late, after I'd already bought the "ball." I cannot complain, you're right it rocks! It was shocking how much crud it pulled up out of the rug, off the floor and in the path of the vacuum! From about 8 inches away it wads of floating cat hair, zoompf in the machine.

At least now I feel like I can keep up since I'm getting a new kitty for Xmas!

At the risk of sounding like a religious convert, go for a Dyson if you can. It's seriously fabulous as vacuums go. Not as sexy as a roomba, but zero assembly (except the handle) and easy to empty and works like a dream. It's also quieter than most (louder on hardwood, though).

Speaking of kitties.........there is a cute, sweet, lovable black boy kitten in need of a home. (Not one of mine, but from the same colony.) He also has a big black brother (who is a bit skittish) and a fluffy orange sister who is coming around and will be a good cat.

Great, now I have this vision of a kitten whirling around inside the Dyson stuck in my head.
