I Love Dyson Vacuum Cleaners

[Ghoulish Delight]

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

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).

The thing is, our current vacuum does a fine job. The benefit of the Roomba would have been the labor saving aspect. Without the automation we have no real justification for a new vacuum.

Yeah, the robots really don't like the hay so much. However, ours does a wonderful job on pet hair, kitty litter, bird food, etc. The only catch - it has to be emptied daily, and the brushes cleaned every other day. But, we've had great luck with ours for months now, and it saves us a LOT of labor (cleaning brushes for 5 minutes is a lot better than an hour of vacuuming our entire joint). As for the hay, we just pick that up with our dust-buster in the morning before the Roomba makes its rounds. That sucks that it didn't work out for you though.

We also have an upright Dyson, and I completely echo the sentiments about it. It's well worth the cost.
