Dyson Vacuum

I have the Dyson DC14 Animal vac... I absolutely ADORE it! They aren't supposed to clog, but the rare times it has happened it wasn't because of dog fur, but because of the fuzz from destuffed toys. But even THAT isn't a hard clog to fix because all the parts are easy to get to. The hose is amazing and stretches all the way up my tall staircase.

And because everything is so easily washable, you don't get that old bag smell that older vacuums tend to get...

JMO - I love my dyson! Check out any of my pictures that were taken in my living room... most of them have the dyson in the background!

Hmmmm . . . we do have a Dyson and love it! We bought ours at Sam's Club and it wasn't that much more than any other good vac. Not only does it work really good but it's light weight and very easy to manauver into tight places. Don't know how well it would tidy-up after nine cats . . . Shocked

I was considering a Dyson and looked up reviews on the web. It seems that the Kenmore was the top rated and about $200 cheaper. We are on our way to Sears on Saturday for our new vacuum.

Mary, once you've done your initial longer charge it doesn't take hardly any time at all to recharge. (I've only had to do it once that way because I was neglectful.....) I can pick up a LOT of stuff off the floor and couch in 5 minutes!

I too have a Dyson, it's not the Animal one but the yellow model. I love it it always does a good job, oh except it doesn't like picking up cheerios I have to stomp on them and then Vaccum! It's easy to empty no worries about running out of bags.

Works well on dog fuzz and on hardwood floors! No worries here (about the dyson anyway).

Thank you soooooooooo much
My mom last year bought me the little Electrolux at Sears cause it's lightweight and i smashed 4 discs back in 2002 ...so i can't bend alot nor pick up much weight. Great vacuum but sucks with rugs hahahaa or should i say doesn't pick up really well Wink

Check consumer reports...

The Consumer Reports top-rated upright vacuum cleaners are:

* Kenmore (Sears) Progressive with Direct Drive 35922
* Hoover WindTunnel 2 U8311-900
* Kenmore (Sears) Progressive with Direct Drive 36932

http://shopping.msn.com/content/shp/?ctid=184

We looked at the Dyson, but the Kenmore Progressive was less money and it works great.
