    I bought one this year and I too think it is fabulous. I thought my place was vacuumed as best I could do it with the old one, and it took ages on two rugs in particular. The Dyson picked up so much more and the place doesn't smell dusty after I have used it. Best purchase i made and I don't have pets either.

    Gee I thought the Dyson was the one with the ball... duh!
    Big Lots has the Dyson ball sweepers. I don't own one yet, but our dirt devils are great with dog hair!
    I have just been able to sweep since last August due to my surgeries taking a year to heal.
    Hmmmmm, with this next upcoming surgery.. maybe I should get my hubby a new sweeper!! :P

    I also have a Yellow Lab and a *Dyson* along with a messy parrot and a cat. Take anything from me, but do not take my Dyson. It doesn't clog or lose suction... and all I have to do is push the release and take the whole canister outside over the trash can and push the button...the bottom opens up and the whole hairy, feathery mess drops out and I'm ready to go again.... Love my Dyson. Best vacuum I've ever had.

    I have the purple one made for animal hair and I really love it! I had a really hairy Maine Coon cat and a springer spaniel, and the hair would wrap around the beater bar and eventually, the beater bar would stop turning. The beater bar cover has 2 little plastic screws that you can remove and the beater bar comes loose enough to cut the hair off easily. I have laminate floors, area rugs and some carpet, and it has a setting for each and works well. The special upholstery attachments really get the cat and dog hair off of anything, even if the hose is a little awkward. And not having to mess with vacuum bags is wonderful. I had a Miele before this that I thought was great, but the Dyson runs circles around it. You'll be amazed at how much grit and dirt it picks up from your carpets the first few times you use it, and then you realize how much cleaning your old vacuum was not doing!
