Looks like they have plenty of the Dysons this time, it's been on there since early this morning.

I have no budget for a new vacuum right now but I'm going to wait and get a larger dyson probably. I spend about $70-100 every couple years on a new cheapy vacuum, so why not invest in a good one that will last a long time?

I have a Kirby. I'm a Kirby person. They're heavy, the attachments are a pain to put on, but boy do they work nicely. I hardly ever vacuum (bad habit that I REALLY need to fix), so when I do, it's nice to know I have a vacuum that's going to suck ALL of it up, and it really does. Not only that, but it can be turned into a carpet cleaner as well, again, big pain in the BUTT, but convenient. And when the bag gets full, I just dig my hands in and empty it. Who wants to spend $30 on a pack of three bags when the darned things can be reused a couple of times? (Cheap much?)

Kirbys also last a LOOOOONG time. I was using my mum's old Kirby before my friend got into the vacuum selling business (for about a week) and I bought a new one from her. Mum's old Kirby had been around for as long as I could remember, which would be about fifteen years or more, and still did a heck of a good job with sucking up every little thing.

All in all, though, once my hubby and I save up the money, we're going to put in hardwood floors or tile. Sweeping and mopping sound like a lot less trouble to me.

I LOVE Kirby! I even sold them about 10 years ago

I'm a Dyson convert though. They're simply AWESOME for the price. If a Dyson cost the same as a Kirby I'd wager (A LOT) that it'd beat the Kirby hands down... might even make that wager now

haha. I might just have to switch to a Dyson when I get rid of my Kirby, but who knows how long that will be, considering how long my mum had hers! hahaha.

A SHOP VAC !!!!!! The problem is as with any vacumn, is keeping my German Shepherd from eating it after I turn it on

This is exactly what I use. I have killed far too many vacuum cleaners but realized, while not "light weight" and "easy to manuever", the shop vac picks up anything and everything and I haven't killed it yet. I don't have to go over the same spot 20 times trying to get the pet hair. For furniture, I use that rubber grooming brush, (furminator or whatever is kind of the same thing), and when I get a huge clump, I throw it on the floor and suck it up with the vacuum. I feel superior when I do that. It's the little things.

Again, not all fancy like those other vacs but it cost me about $50 and I don't have to keep rebuying vacuums.

I am in absolute love with my Dyson Animal!
I have only Kofi, and she is short hair with minimal shedding.
Here is my Dyson story:
I had my house for sale, wood floors with large area rugs. I was using an Oreck. The realtors were all telling me that I had a dog odor in my house. I was mortified! No way! I called in neighbors and friends who all told me they detected no animal odor. I then did all the recommended things, to no avail. Real estate people would tell occasional tales of dog odor when stepping through the door.
I had read raves about the Dyson on my bulldog site. Then a friend who cleans sold me on getting one.
I brought it home, vacuumed the carpet that had been freshly done by my Oreck.
UNBELIEVABLE! The dog hairs and doggie sluff that filled the vacuum was a real surprise to me.
After about a week, I never heard that complaint again.
I think the Dyson was one of the best purchases that I ever made.
Hope this helps. After seeing the results, my grandkids got one too, and they don't have a dog. But that baby crawl on clean floors.
