Yesterday I ordered the Dyson Animal thu our BX, and today I went to Wal-Mart and bought the Shark for 49 dollars. Now I'm afraid after reading this thread that I'll hate it. I'm definately not going to use it on my wood floors, just the Terracotta tile in the dining & kitchen. Hope I don't hate it. Just thought it would be better than the sponge mop I've been useing.
