I do not have a Dyson, but my daughter wants one so I am reading some of these posts to pass along the info to her!!!
I have a Rainbow Vac that I have had for about 6 years. It will suck up ANYTHING!!!...... and I know that after I vac it is CLEAN.
For Christmas, my MIL bought an Oreck for me. It is really light weight and great for a person who has back problems. It seems to do a nice job and I will definitely use it often. (I still will use the Rainbow at least once a month to get that deep thorough clean)
Good Post
............ great info to give to my daughter!
