I have a Dyson, the basic model, not the one special for animal hair but I still think it works great. My husband bought it on sale at Home Depot I think for $360. Funny story how I got the Dyson. My kids got into this huge box full of packing styrofoam peanuts, from a delivery my husband ordered. While I was on the phone with my sister the kids thought it would be fun to play in the styrofoam peanuts like they were taking a bath, or it was snowing. Let me tell you; the mess they made was something I can't even describe. The styrofoam kept breaking into smaller and smaller pieces, getting scattered ALL OVER my downstairs. It literally looked like it snowed inside my house. I FREAKED. I thought Maggie might breathe those little styrofoam things in. I found them in her nose, her ears. The kids were laughing thinking it's so fun. It is IMPOSSIBLE to clean those peanuts up. They are static so they just stick to you and you can't get them in the trash. I broke my old K-Mart special vaccum trying to clean. I cleaned for hours, found those peanuts days and days afterword. My husband came home from work that night, I just looked at him and said"You are buying me a Dyson, and you are NEVER allowed to get anything shipped in styrofoam peanuts" Got my Dyson<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"></end quote></div>
oh my goodness i would have freaked too! those are the worst to pick up. currently my little mess maker is my 70 lb dog. she tears pretty much everything up. i find shreds of paper on the floor and figure out where they came from once i find all the pieces. granted my dog isn't the smartest crayon in the box and does eat paper, string from her rope toys, plastic from her squeaky toys, but there is still always a mess from her to clean up. i cant wait to get another vaccum. maybe my husband would actually use it! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0">
