Dyson vacuum
"Diane" wrote in message ... 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. -- Web site: http://www.slywy.com/ Message board: http://www.slywy.com/phpBB2/ Journal: http://slywy.diaryland.com/ 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!). MaryL |

MaryL We have the same model and my wife swears by it! I would definitely recommend this....it's a bit pricey, but worth 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 take it you don't vacuum? Try it - you'll like it! 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). Phil |

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

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. -- Cheryl |
