My daughter bought a Dyson and in the first day she got rid of more dog hair than the old Sears vacuum had ever picked up in the 5 years she had the Sears one. When my machine died I got the Dyson vacuum for pet hair and the same thing happened to me. COULD NOT believe the hair it pulled out of the carpet!!!

So, just wondering what advice you all might have. We have 2 dogs (one shedder, one non-shedder). We have heard great things about the Dyson model for pets, but I really hate to spring $500-600 for one vacuum cleaner! We've also seen good reviews on LG and it's not quite as pricey. But, if anyone has had great experience with a good machine, I'd like to hear about it before I head to the store.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I go to the used vaccum stores and buy overhauled Hoovers. I've had 3 or 4 and they have all worked for 5-7 years for a reasonable price, if you don't want to spring for a bunch of $$$$. We bought the Animal and had it about 2 years and it went kaput! Also since it has a heppa filter you can't use carpet powder cause it stops up the filter.
