Consumer Advice Needed -- Vacuum Cleaners

[kybearfuzz]

Hey all,

I am contemplating buying a new vacuum cleaner. Having Murphy and Maggie shedding all over creation has all but killed my last one and it's on last legs anyway. I've been looking at several that are specific to pet cleaning, but don't want to spend $500 on a Dyson (it's a vacuum cleaner, not a iTouch for heaven's sake!) Have any of you found a good bagless vacuum that works well for you, especially if you have pets at home? Just curious.

Seriously, the Dyson is built to last. This is our third vac and has outlasted the two previous ones we have had. We just have the nice yellow one for $300 at Target. The only time that it lost suction was when I didn't clean the filter. I wish I would have purhcased the next one up, but I was skeptical as vacs don't seem to last very long. It is worth the money. We have two active dogs so, it passes the animal test.
