We had one, I wasn't too impressed, so we scraped it and got a Dyson

Same here! And NP, my dog attacked the hell of out it. The first time he bit the Dyson, I think it hurt him and he stopped.

Personally, I think the Oreck is cheaply made. I could be Consumer Report's tester for vacuum cleaners. For a vacuum to last 2 years in MY house, it has to be good. My Dyson is going on 4.

Oreck is crap. Put down another vote for Dyson.

 

[Nanny Pam]

You "Dyson" folks must be strong! Those things are heavy!

 

[Nanny Pam]

OK...I'll check out Dyson.

It's not that heavy, if you have to do stairs or something like that, the canister pops right out and you can carry it around.

Another thing about the Dyson is that it is so simple to take apart. All you need is a coin and everything wipes clean.

Now I love the Oreck car vacuum and use that on stairs/bathrooms/under the bed/desk/RV.

Great. Too many to pick from. Which one is best & why? I have 2 dogs. One sheds. I also have 8 kids.

Check out the Animal and be sure to read the reviews before you buy.

Dyson Animal

Check out the Animal and be sure to read the reviews before you buy.

Have had mine for about 3 years.....best thing I ever bought and I have 3 long haired cats...talk about shedding! Dyson does everything it says it will.

 

[vanbells]

Dyson is expensive, but they are worth every penny especially if you have pets. Get on that says Animal. It's a attachment that works great for steps and car upholstry.

Great tip: Use a bed, bath and beyond coupon and save lots of money. They take expired coupons too!

Dysons are not heavy, nor expensive, Kirby's are heavy and expensive 25 lbs and $1800

I am looking to buy a new vacuum too. I was looking at some Dysons. when you say you have an Animal...which one? I found 4 different animals. DC07, DC14, DC15, & DC17.

Please read the reviews. I think the DC07 didn't get a good rating, some complained about it not having a light in the front (among a few other things).

my sister has one of the orecks and loves it.
but, you have to take it in once a year for their check up or the warranty is void.

I have the electrolux guardian, its now about 5 years old and has not lost power or had any problems since I got it. it came with a 25 year warranty.
