We have 2 Dysons. Love ‘em.
I just purchased a Dyson Animal DC 50. It is light weight, easily maneuvered, and really cleans well, even the dog hair. I also like the way it transists from capet to hard wood and tile flooring without any adjusment.
I bought a complete Kirby system (even has a carpet shampooer) a year ago. It cleans better than anything I’ve ever used, but so darn heavy, cumbersome, and complicated that I just quit using it. It cost three times what my Dyson did. I’m looking for someone younger and stronger to sell it to.
We have one. Love it too. They could have made the power cord longer, though.
