I know someone who has several large dogs and about 12 cat who owns a Dyson.
She likes it. She said that some part broke and Dyson replaced without any
problem. She also go the extended service plan (which I think is a rip-off)
and has it serviced periodically. Maybe that keeps it working well.

I have 2 pugs, a cat and a Dyson. I really like it. I do think it gets more
hair up than other vacuums I've owned. I got the "purple" model which came
with a stair attachment that has a beater brush on it.

I have finally decided to have hardwood floors installed, where I don't
already have hardwood. At least I'll be able to see the balls of fur better
now.

I really lucked out though. When I was at Sears, looking at the Dyson, they
just so happened to have one that someone else returned. They guaranteed the
same warrenty, and offered it to me for $350. I snapped it up.

You won't regret removing the carpet.

I'm sure I won't. It's impossible to vacuum all the dust/dirt out of a
carpet. I am very much looking forward to having a cleaner home with the
hardwood.

Hey, I've been wondering where you were. I thought maybe you left the list.

We've had one for a while and it's great. It really worked hard when we
renovated the house - I've never seen so much dust. We don't have a dog so
can't comment on how it handles dog hair.

I've been around, but just didn't feel like posting much. Post-election
depression, I guess.

My dyson has started to fall apart. it was brilliant except the bar was
always getting tangled with hair and I had to cut it to get it out. the hose
has now split but i have tape around it so it'll go for a bit more until I
get a proper repair. I've lost a little wheel somewhere. Despite all this
it's the best vacuum I've ever owned
