I bought a Riccar vacuum and love it. Comes with a 3 year warranty, and really does a good job. You have to buy them at a vacuum or sewing machine store, not online or at a department store. It works great on tile, carpet, and the dogs if they get in the way. I have 3 house GSDs a cat and 2 teenagers, and all of them refuse to wipe their feet so I really need a good vacuum. They are built with more metal parts then most brands, so they hold up well. My oreck could not withstand our house and simply fell apart.

Dyson I know this has been discussed before and although I was interested then, I am now in need! I would really appreciate hearing from any of you who have purchased a Dyson vacuum (pros & cons) and which model you would recommend for use in a multi GSD home! This is the Canadian site http://www.english.dysoncanada.ca/store/hmc.asp as these are my choices! Any input would be greatly appreciated.
