Dog or Vacuum??

If you own a dog, you need this vacuum!!Our Australian Shepherd just turned 15 but she acts years younger and the vet says she is healthy and doing well.I am a neat freak and cannot stand hair all over our house.It doesn't seem to matter how much we brush, our Sasha is always shedding.I finally told my husband it's either the dog or spending money on a new vacuum of MY choice.Since I knew he would never get rid of the dog, I got my Dyson!!I have been looking at the Dyson line for many years now but just couldn't make myself spend so much for a vacuum.I was used to paying under $200.00 so I was happy to get this on sale and start vacuuming.Well, my jaw dropped as I started in the living room, the room where the dog is hardly ever in, and I couldn't believe what was piling up in the canister, things I had never seen before in my other canister vacuum.I think I emptied the vacuum 8 times before I was done with the rooms on the main floor and all my husband could hear me mutter was, "Oh, my God" over and over.I find it easy to empty the canister and I can go from carpet to bare floor with the touch of a button.I'm just starting to use the accesories but so far haven't had a problem.I vacuum every day now and am still amazed at how much is pulled up by this Dyson vacuum cleaner.It puts all my other vacuums to shame and I'm sorry I didn't buy it much sooner!
