    I have one, DH has one for his office and I tried the cannister. When I originally bought it, it was perfect we had carpet and no rugs. We moved and have all solid wood floors and rugs. The up right is just not set up for hard wood floors and rugs. Their cannister does not work as well as the Hoover cannister, the brush is yucky and the rug attachment pulls the wool off my rug and sucks the edges in. The Dyson cannister went back. I think the up right is great if you have wall to wall carpetting. Pet hair no problem. Now as for people hair, 9 females at this house all with very long hair, the spinner thing winds the hair around itself so on a regular basis you need to give it a hair cut to get it to roll freely. The good part is it is picking up the hair versus any other machine that seems to leave it.

    My Dyson would clean hardwood,etc. but some of the dirt tended to shoot out the back. Vacuum in bare feet and you'll feel it. Maybe it was just mine.

    I have one and love it. We have 3 cats and it does a great job with the hair. Love the no-bag system, it is easy to empty. It overheated right after we got it so took it back to store to have them look at it. Every salesperson that walk by asked why someone was returning a Dyson-it never happens. They just totallly replaced it rather that trying to repair it first, no questions asked. Never had a bit of problem since and highly recommend it. Well worth the money.

    I have hardwood floors throughout with 3 cats and 1 dog. My dyson works fantastic on the floor and furniture. I busted the hose for the second time and need a replacement but I can still use it on the furniture by not pulling the hose totally off the handle. It is yellow with a purple handle (it was a replacement at $10 and I didn't care what color it was, the price was right!) and has a canister. I love mine and will buy another in a heartbeat. I've had mine for over 4 years.

    Having Two Saint Bernards I think I qualify as a "fur lined" house. It is great for the dog hair .... BUT do be careful if you have carpets that have loops, it has snagged and pulled my main carpet so bad , I need to replace it. It is so powerful that you do not evenknow its happened until a 3 foot yarn has been pulled out of the carpet. I mentioned this at my local Sew and vac and he told me they are a great machine... but that some carpet manufactures will not honor the warrenty of the carpet if you use a Dyson.
