Why I love my Dyson

[ksmith]

I vacuum twice a week. House is 1100 sq ft or so. No carpet--all hardwood/one-piece flooring, with area rugs.

The opening to the trash can is about 11"x14". I had to empty the canister twice.

You could knit a puppy with that.

Do you compost? Coz you could just stick that right in and let it decompose.

The boy and I have optimistically put the Animal DC17 on our wedding registry. Maybe we have a friend stupidly rich enough to buy us the World's Most Expensive Vacuum Cleaner? Or a bunch of friends?

I don't compost, though perhaps I should start.

I do threaten the guyz that I will knit a third puppy.

I resisted the lure for a long time. So many of my dog owner friends raved about it, but I couldn't see paying that much for a vacuum cleaner. Then I faced the fact of The Hair, and ponied up.

it's not the most expensive, though. There a Miele (sp?) that I think runs about a grand. Kirbys, as well.

I'm happy with this Dyson, though. The rugs are five shades lighter after I finish vacuuming.

Maybe two.

Is this better than an Oreck? (A very good and expensive sweeper.)

I am envious of your suckage. Power, and a HEPA filter, are everything.

I don't know how it compares to an Oreck--I don't know anyone who owns an oreck. I've seen the commercials, and received the mailings, but never looked into it.

One thing I really like about the Dyson is the light saber hose attachment that fits inside/forms the handle, When you need a hose with smaller attachment, it's all right there (3 small attachments clip to the body of the vac).

What I need is a battery-run handheld that I can carry around for small sweeping jobs. Had a Dirt Devil that turned out to be unwieldy.

I vacuum every day with the Dyson. Three dawgs with undercoats, a short-haired shedder and a crumby child = much yuck.

Dyson does make a small one to hand carry, for what it's worth. Under $200, but bound to work better than the Dust Buster I got.

Go, Dyson!

I should run mine again. Real soon now. No pets, just teenagers with long hair.

King is shedding his undercoat. Mickey doesn't shed nearly as much, but there's just enough to let me know he's there.

I vacuumed late last night, and I;ve already found tufts on the rugs.

Wow. Steep for a small unit. But worth checking out, thanks --

Well, if you have a backyard, I'd recommend composting for soil improvement. And of course, reducing the rates by reducing landfill.
