Funny--just found this thread. Even funnier---just posted about this exact thing on the NB.Forum.
I have had the Dyson animal for a couple years.
I love the thing. When I first got it my rugs actually turned a diff color. The first couple weeks, I vacced every day and there was no end in site to the crap it was pulling up.
At the time, I had two dogs, lab ( only GS's shed more than a lab lol)and a chow mix, 3 cats--one is a persian/hymmy cross, and my DS and the tribe he always had with him.
I do take apart the canister and wash it throughly about every 6-8 weeks and bought an additional filter--the one at the top of the canister-- so I can wash one and let it throughly dry without having to wait to vac again.
It makes a big dif if you are cleaning up after pets---eventually their dander starts to build up in there.
Honestly, I was going through a vac a year before this one--- and it's the only one that keeps my DS's environmental allergies at bay. |
