We use a Kenmore we got a sears on clearance for $70. Cleans just fine. I don't know what a $500 vacuum can do other than suck

We went for the Animal too. We have two cats. The thing picks up an unbelievable amount of pet hair and it doesn't lose power as it fills up like other vacums do. Rooms smell noticeably cleaner when you're done. It's also designed so you can empty it without getting a face full of the stuff you're trying to get rid of - very important for athsma sufferers.Originally posted by: EvilWobbles
I can attest to the value of the Dyson.
I used to be a member of the "$100 vacuum is the way too go" crowd. However, we have three Australian shepherds who seem to shed on different cycles. We burned through 4 cheap vacuums in about a year before I finally took a friend's advice and bought a Dyson Animal.
Our floors have never been cleaner and we have had the Dyson for a year and a half without issue.
The Dyson is well worth the $$$ in my book, I just wish I hadn't bought those three additional cheap $100 vacuums a couple of years ago

a question for all of you dyson owners. i have two dogs and unfortunately, just like kids, they puke on the floor. to get up the mess i use resolve carpet cleaner to get out the stain and then vacuum up the paper towel bits.
on my current vacuum the hose and vacuum inlet get a little greasy from this which require me to take it apart every once in a while. do you have similar issue with your dyson?

No and we have 4 dogs and 10 cats. We generally use simple solution to clean up accidents and wait until it dries completely before vacuuming. We have had our Dyson 2 years now and still love it.

$10 that if that same Kenmore ran over the path that the Kenmore AND Dyson did that the Kenmore would pick up a bunch more dust/dirt that the Dyson couldn't.Originally posted by: CPA
$10 says that if I ran my Dyson over the path you vacuumed with your Kenmore, there would be a lot of dust and dirt it would pick up that your Kenmore couldn't.
It's not just what you see on top of the carpet, but what's in and below the carpet. A Dyson will get all of that crap. And no filters and easy to dispose of the dust and dirt.
