I Love Dyson Vacuum Cleaners - Page 2

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.

They bought a Dyson slim over the weekend and love it. Apparently it sucked up enough cat hair to make a few more cats.

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.

My Dyson rocks. Never tried to vacuum up a cat, though.

Good luck if you do- my cats disappear when the vacuum comes out.

Tango watched from the semi-safe location of her cat tree. That is, until I vacuumed the thing with the amount of hair I vacuumed you'd think she'd be bald!

We have the DC14 Animal (and three [currently four] cats). Well worth the money, especially since it can be easily disassembled and cleaned.

We also have a Roomba and Scooba for our wood floors, and while their performance isn't what I'd call great it is definitely good enough between semi-annual major housecleanings.

In the name of science I would suggest you start small with say a mouse or chick, if that goes well you can move up to a gerbil or hamster and finally on to kittens and full grown cats.

Please document your trials with photos. No, wait a second, scratch that. Take video.
