Hey Breny -- did you get your Dyson? I did, based on all the recommendations here (even though hubby was armed with a Consumer Reports that held another brand at the top). I bought the Dyson DC17 Animal. Best Buy was out of them but they did have it sent to my house. They said they had just had a run on them. I told them it was probably all the YT folks recommending it. She probably thought I was a nut.
Anyway....this is the best vacuum I have ever used! I have had a lot of different ones. I used to love my Oreck but it has seen better days. I've had Kirby, Hoover, Eureka, and this inhome system -- Dyson beats them all. The Dyson feels like a self propelled the way that beater bar takes off. And what this thing picked up! I can't believe all that was in my carpet! Lots of carpet fuzz and dog hair. I knew my old one was not doing well but never knew all that was being left. I got lots of sand out of the carpet too. So, if you have not decided yet, I would add another vote for the Dyson! |
