Dyson - Animal DC07 - Upright Bagless Cyclonic Vacuum — 

This product was really great for about 6 months. Now I'm looking to purchase something new. This vacuum is kind of clunky not great for maneuvering tight areas. It comes with attachments that work well until the hose cracks, then its time to break out the duct tape.  I'm not a neat freak. I vacuum twice a week, maybe.  These days I really dread breaking out this machine and more often than not find myself grabbing a broom instead.  I have one large area rug in my living room, the rest of the house is hard wood,  but what should be a three minute job becomes twenty when I need to vacuum this rug. I have disassembled this machine looking for clogs and there are none.  This vacuum simply has less and less suction over time.  Vacuuming the carpet is a nightmare and doing the hardwood isnt much better.  I can repeatedly vacuum over a one inch piece of paper that will simply not be sucked up. I spend more time bent over picking things up by hand. When I finish vacuuming the floors, if I run my hand over it I still pick up a great deal of grit that has been left behind. Lately I find myself longing for my mother's old Eureka upright, she had that machine for at least 20 years. You had to replace the bags, but the handle on it was steel and I dont recall her ever complaining about it. Things are simply no longer made to last.
