Need advice on new vacuum cleaner
#41
Dyson, Dyson, Dyson! I love mine! After wind-tunnels and dirt-devils, I bought a Dyson and I will never go back. (As a retired lady mechanic, (28yrs.) I can appreciate the engineering/function of this great vaccum!)
My dil borrowed it and didn't want to give it back. :D

I also have the Kenmore Progressive. I have 2 boxers (dogs) that shed like crazy, with the short fur and it sucks up the fur with no problem. This is the best vacuum I have ever used for the fur problem we have. I love this vacuum.

Well, I can tell what NOT to get!! Dirt Devils are AWFUL, no edge suction, flimsy attatchments, just junk. I bought it after an old eureka bravo finally bit the dust (or dog hair actually). That sweeper was great..and cheap (under $100) My next one will be a canister of some type as most of the wall to wall has been ripped out and I need something for the hardwood. But I guess alot of it depends on how much you want to spend..Dysons are several hundred..around here, the animal one is around $400..Hoover runs the price list, this stupid dirt devil was $150. Better figure out how much you can spend first, might narrow your choices considerably!!

I have a Dyson Animal because of wall to wall carpeting plus big dogs with long fur that used to wreck my machine's in months. It's awkward to use and I wish they had the Dyson Ball when I bought this but it is a super machine. I tell my hubby it's too hard for me to manage so now he does the rugs. Hey, works for me. :lol:

We bought our Dyson at Sears. My daughter bought hers at Target and I've seen them at Costco.
We absolutely love the Dyson vacuum. I always thought I was fairly good about keeping the house clean but after that first trip around with the dyson I had my doubts! What a bunch of dirt we'd been living with. No more! We live with a black cat and we could knit another cat with the fur the dyson manages to find.
I'd give the Dyson a 5 star rating out of 5.[/quote]
Oh yeah, I've thrown away at least 6 whole cats worth of cat fur since we got the Dyson. I couldn't believe how much that vacuum picks up when I started using it!

I've following with interest this thread since I have also been in the market for a new vacuum cleaner.
So many of you liked the Dyson, I bought one on E Bay. It was very reasonable--$219.00 to be exact---no sales tax and no shipping.
The seller refurbishes Dyson vaccums that have been returned. The vauccums are all stripped down, cleaned out, any new parts are replaced. It comes with a six month limited warrranty against original defects in materials and workmanship I received all the paperwork, too. The machine looks NEW and it works GREAT. (Of course, I have to admit I was comparing it to a Eureka which has been less than satisfactory.) He sells other Vaccums as well not only Dysons.
Mine is a pretty purple color, too, and boy did it pick up the dog hair. We have two black Labs that shed ALOT!
Anyway, I was happy and you might want to check out their auctions:
