Kate-
I do wonder if your 12 year old dyson was just better made than the
one's made now...kinda like the older sewing machines????? Like I
said, I tried her dyson animal and had to sit back and think
"hmmmmm....why am I NOT falling over with glee at this?". Maybe she
has an "eh" machine?? But as I said...i've yet to meet the vacuum
that makes me swoon.....
