I have 3 Dyson cleaners & I love, love them. I live in a 2 storey house (3 floors if you count the basement) so I keep 1 on each floor & have 2 dogs. A sheltie & a golden retriever & boy does the retriever shed a lot & all year long. With the Dysons they do a fantastic job. Very pricey (especially here in Canada) but IMHO worth every penny I spent.
