But because my youngest loves him some pets, I suffer so he can have the opportunity to learn how to nurture and care for another living creature. I am utterly amazed at how much hair one small cat can shed and am freaking out that my lame vacuum is not making nearly the dent I need it to make with this problem! I run around with a giant roll of tape trying to pick up all of the stray fur I keep finding! The tape is not only full of cat hair, I am finding that it is also picking up lots of little crumbs and dirt that my two boys track in that my current joke of a vacuum seems to be missing. I would absolutely scream with joy to have the opportunity to show my husband that our current vacuum "sucks" (I know, lame quote. But it had to be said.) and that a Dyson would be worth it's weight in gold at our home, regardless of the price! So I ask...(down on knees, groveling and pleading)please let me be a Dyson Domestic Diva! I am running out of tape! Even though I LOVE animals, I am SOOO NOT an inside animal person!

My mom owns one and I was a nanny at a home that owned one. I love it LOVE IT! anyways I have a crap vacuum, not even a yr old. Neither my husband or myself can barely puuuush it. and we have an almost 2 yr. old. lets just say he's an animal. We do have cats but not inside anymore. although my son has terrible allergies and asthma, and if we bring it in it bothers him, also the dust and everything else that comes in from the window seals and air vents, I really would like to try this dyson to see how it helps. We have replaced all of our carpet but I belive they need a good vacuum to get out all that factory/distribution center dust out. And for some reason my hair just started falling out ALOT. my son gets it in his mouth, wrapped around his toes and goes nutts. Sounds grose and I dont really know why its coming out like this, maybe too much hair die, BUT I do belive this vacuum will pick it up. and hey if you pick me to try it for two weeks and I like it, maybe I will be able to buy one after tax returns yahoo. thanks for the opportunity.

It's 7 years old. Builder carpet. It's been subjected to the nefarious ways of four drooling, spilling, crumb trailing (and occasional spit-upping) children. Plus the pets. The dog and the cat are no friends of that carpet. As a result of the animal hair, the carpet has taken on a distinct hue-de-beast in the preferred sleeping areas of said pets. This is where the carpet and the pet hairs have become one with each other. Sadly our 10yr old Panasonic upright sucks, but not hard enough to dis-entwine the pet hair from the rug fibers. Woe to the asthmatic 4 yo who spends much of his time downstairs and in the hardwood sectioned parts of the home. We hate our carpet so much that we have taken to encouraging workmen to leave their muddy shoes on. We've allowed the kids to eat their ice cream on the stairs. Art projects, picnics, fingernail painting... in the hall please. On the carpet, if you will. Enough is more than enough though. Just when I was about to hire some straw and a camel to spit on that rug, the cat stepped up. Or hairballed up, perhaps? And after one spectacular middle of the night, flying/barfing cat (flung from the bed, so he could barf on the CARPET) incident we've cried uncle. Hallelujah and economy be damned - we are getting new carpet at long last! (Note: For a minute there I know you were thinking that I was going to say that perhaps a Dyson could resurrect our old carpet. But no. I think it would take even more than Dyson's got to bring that rug back from the dead now) So. We're about to get a fresh start. A new rug, and new rules. No more eating, drooling, nailpainting, muddy shoe wearing, camel spitting etc on the rug. But old habits die hard. And we can't have the new rug looking as beat up as the old one did after a mere 6 months of service. Despite the abuse described above, we're really a fastidious lot. Which is why our 7yr old vacuum is just as beat up as the old carpeting. It's a feast for the eyes with its rainbow striped cord (electrical tape for all the sections where cord has been run over and cracked), and it's multiple battle dings and scrapes. We forgive it for smelling a little funny when it runs, in the same way that we forgive old people for smelling a little funny on occasion. It's not their fault. We're less amused that we have to order the bags for it online as they are no longer sold at Target though. Boo! Hiss! We always knew a new rug was going to mean a new vacuum, and based on anecdotal evidence of vaccuum excellence - Dyson was at the top of our list to try out. You could say we are ripe for the picking. Choose us please! PS. I would of course post reviews, anecdotal etc to the sites I am currently writing for and/or own including MommieswithStyle.com, CarandCaboodle.com, Popshopology.com,& LAmomsblog.com <abbr><em>Ciaran Blumenfeld’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.carandcaboodle.com/gear-reviews/baby-gear/pipila-portable-pacifier-sanitizer-saves-the-day.html" rel="nofollow">Pipila Portable Pacifier Sanitizer Saves The Day!</a></abbr></em> Let me tell you about my carpet.

I have one German Sheppard and there is hair everywhere. Did you know that they shed a summer coat and a winter coat. Right now is summer coat is coming off and my husband pulls tuffs of hair off of the dog. You pet him and your hand is covered in hair. My question is, will this vacuum really pick up all of the dog hair? My son (9 month old) has allergies so I have to vacuum often. Our Oreck couldn't handle the dog. It quit sucking and we got tired of getting it serviced all the time from getting clogged with dog hair. We bought a Hoover and it sucks but you have to go over the same spot 10 times for it to come clean and it is a beast. I get frustrated every time I have to vacuum because it should be a quick job. I have never owned a Dyson product and have been interested in their new rollerball design. It would be nice to see how it angles.

I love my Kenmore Magic Blue vacuum for initial quality. I love having a light canister vac that takes care of hardwood and carpets equally well, and the Magic Blue always wins the suck test -- where you put a credit card between the hoses of two vacuums, then pull them apart and see which one gets the card. Magic Blue ALWAYS wins against all the other Sears-carried vacuums, but I'd love to test it against a Dyson. The only problem I have with my Magic Blue is that they're now made of many plastic parts where there used to be longer-lasting, stronger metal components, so they wear out quickly. I'm not sure if a more expensive vacuum is the answer though, because while they are working (and under warranty), they're fantastic. Anyhoo, I'd love to compare my Magic Blue to a Dyson -- they seem to be quite opposite machines. Also, we just moved into a new house, and no matter how often I vacuum, I'm still finding hair from the previous owner's dog. Could the Dyson suck up all those hairs once-and-for-all?

But in our home, our marriage is based on a unity decision and I would never purchase a $500 item without talking to my husband first...and I sure hope he would give me the same respect as our family is based on joint decisions, not one persons needs. If he came to me with a reason he wanted a $500 gaming system or new TV, he better have a damn good reason why before I give him the OK for those items out of our budget. I also didn't realize cleaning or talking to your husband were "1950's" views. Maybe more people would be married longer if they looked at their relationship as a partnership, rather then being such an "individual" that doesn't need the other person. I got married to share my life and that will include sharing financial decisions. ~Trisha We dont.
