I absolutely LOVE my Dyson. We have 2 of the dogs inside and we were going through cheap vacuums every 6 months. I tried my mother-in-law's Rainbow vac and hated it. So we bought the purple Dyson. I have had it 3-4 years and havehad no problems with it whatsoever. The only thing you have to do occasionally is clean out the brush where things wrap around and clean out the filter. If there isn't much suction -you know the filter is dirty. I am completely satisfied with mine! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beryl Eshom" To: Sent: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 10:13:45 -0800 Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: OT vacuum's again I know in the past the many on the list have praised the Dyson Vacuum. I have a Kirby, which needs a belt (don't they always?). I phoned the local vac store and was told they also do tune-ups on most vacuums, except the Dyson. I asked why, as I have considered getting one. I had been wondering if they were as heavy to push around as my Kirby. He didn't answer that question, but told me Dyson parts are hard to get, so they will no longer service them. That made we wonder if they need service often, or if certain things on the Dyson's are common problems. Inquiring mind want to know! Anyone have an input? Meanwhile I found a quick fix for dog hair on the carpet. I have a big rake that has a large fan shaped plastic rake tooth thing. I raked my carpet and it looks great. Of course that wouldn't bring up the dust etc from underneath. It sure was a good temporary and quick fix. LOL Beryl Eshom.......who often wishes all her floors were either wood or tile!
