Have to say I love my Dyson. It's done 12 years so far, and still going
strong, despite 2 cats, a GMNT, pounds of Lego, builders, and regularly
feeding it miles of fbriatelli out of the serger!

I'm with you, Kate. I haven't had mine as long as you. I've had it for
maybe 7 years now...... It's all a blur y'know... Charlie dog and I both
have very long hair. DD has medium long hair. Miss Kitty has short hair
but she likes to put it here there and everywhere. The boys are.....well
they make messes. The Dyson deals with it all quietly and quickly. No
complaints at all about it.

Betsey, is price the issue? I know I spent more on the Dyson than I had on
any other vacuum previously. But I can now say it has lasted (and stayed
in good working order) for almost three times as long as any of the
$100-$200 vacuums I'd bought before it. So it has now paid for itself.
And it's nice not having to buy extra things to go with it, like bags. Why
pay money for something that I'm going to throw away in a little while?

While I agree about disposable bags being an added cost, I
usually buy mine when the store has buy-two-get-one-free
deal. And new filters are supplied along with the bags.

It's also good if you have a DH who runs the vacuum, but who never
thinks to check the bag, but just says, "Would you take a look at this
thing? It isn't picking up." With the Dyson, he can see when it's
filling up, and he's mastered the task of taking the container to the
trash and pushing the button to open the bottom so the contents fall
into the trash bin. What a guy!
