All I want...

[ithildin]

is a Dyson. No, not the hot one from Lost Girl (though if someone can provide such, I'll take him!). No, what I want for my birthday is a Dyson vacuum cleaner. I've had several people who have pet heavy homes tell me that it's a life saver. If I save my pennies, lots of them, I may try and get a refurbished one at some point.

In the absence of a Dyson, may I recommend a Sweepa? As the (former) owner of a Chow Chow and the current owner of a Pom-mix, I can honestly say this thing works wonders on taking up pet hair off of hardwood and carpet alike. (Carpet requires short, light strokes, but it works.)

I looked into it, and got a rubber broom! Not the same as yours, but similar. Sounds just what I need as my room has hardwood floors. Thank you!

Woot is a daily deal site and they have refurb Dysons up ever couple of weeks. I bought a refurb Dyson over 5 years ago and I *love* it. I don't have pets, but co-workers do and they say the Dyson did the best job for them

I used to be a Woot-aholic, but haven't been there for a few years now. Will have to start visiting again :)

They may pick up stuff, but since they have no bag, it can be bad for people with allergies, unless you have someone else willing to empty it outside and away from you.

Mind you I have an Electrolux that was a gift from my MIL. She still has the one that Grandma used, as well as the one she got when she married 50+ years ago. All of them still working. Mine has bags designed for filtration, so no escaping dust!

I'd see if you have a vacuum repair place nearby and ask them their recommendations.

My last three vacuums have been bagless. My allergies suck so much, a little more dust doesn't seem to make a difference :D

I would prefer the Lost Girl Dyson XD
But we don't have this much problems with the pet hairs.
So i get you a Dyson vacuum cleaner and i get myself the Lost Girl Dyson?! ;D

[ithildin]

Maybe Dyson would vacuum for me? After all, animal hair must be a problem at his place too :D

[moonie]

The Lost Girl version was totally my first thought, too. *G*

[ithildin]

It's usually mine as well :)

I loooove ours. We got the hot pink pet-hair oriented model and it's love. It picks up everything.

I've heard the "Shark" brand is just as good and a bit cheaper, however.
