Dyson vacuum

For those of you (Phil?) who've bought Dyson vacuums, how hard are they
on the carpet? I'm asking because I rent, I don't have the world's best
carpet, I know it needs to be cleaned with a really good vacuum (think
cat fur, human hair, and kitty litter, aside from dander and dust), but
I'm afraid the Dyson might suck it off the floor. Just wondering before
I spend a boatload. Thank you.

I have a Dyson (there are several versions, and I have the one called "The
Animal"). They are ugly but work great. The vacuum automatically makes
adjustment from hard floors to carpet, and I have never had a problem with
carpet being "sucked up" (just cat fur easily removed from the carpet!).

We have the same model and my wife swears by it! I would definitely
recommend this....it's a bit pricey, but worth it.

I take it you don't vacuum? Try it - you'll like it!

Thanks -- I think I meant, too, the threads out of the carpet. I find it
intimidating (the descriptions)! I'm imagining a threadbare carpet!

That is just so sad.

I HAVE tried it and it works great! It's light and versatile. She is
a clean freak (that's a good thing), and wanted the best vacuum cleaner
that we could find. After several recommendations, we tried this one
and love it.

The only difference between the "Animal" and "All Floors" models is the
attachments- they contain the same motor and deliver the same power- 270 air
watts. They won't ruin your carpet unless its already falling apart and has
loose strings hanging out (which are also dangerous for your cats).

That's correct. One of the attachments with "The Animal" is a fantastic
rotating attachment for furniture (works *great* a picking up cat fur).

I have the Animal cylinder and it's great, it picks up hay and bunny
poo too.
The only drawback is I found it heavy.

It's *very* heavy. That has not been a problem for me because my house is
all on one floor, and the Dyson has such large wheels that it is easy to
maneuver. However, it would be a problem for anyone who needed to take it
up or down stairs (although it does have a long cleaning hose, so the extra
weight makes it possible to use the attachments at some distance without
tipping over the cleaner).

A friend of mine just bought one of these and she did "the test" when
she got it. She vacuumed with her old vac, then the Dyson to see how
much additional debris she got up, and she was amazed. Between her
and a few others I know who have one, I'm getting one. I have an
Oreck that I love for it's weight, and it does a pretty good job. But
just last week my mom asked me what I want for my birthday next month
and I told her "cash". LOL And that I wanted to buy a Dyson.
