I have two Dysons. One of the big ones we got when we had the big hairy dog. Then I saw the cordless one and that is my new favorite. Not cheap, but, it makes me very happy to be able to do what I want without worrying with a cord.

If it just took a screw and you were happy with what you have, I would just replace the screw.
