Dyson C07 Vacuum Review

I bought the yellow C07 Dyson Vacuum.  It's bag-less which is a nice thing to have.  To empty the vacuum is pretty easy and doesn't make a huge mess like some others I have had.  The vacuum picks up a lot of dirt but still leaves a lot of hair and dirt left behind from my long haired dachshunds.  I had always heard of how good the suction is on this thing and the suction is just not that good.  I feel I could have bought a better vacuum at a much better price.  Another thing is the smell.  When I vacuum with the C07 Dyson it puts out a weird smell.  I have totally cleaned everything on the machine and yet it still has this smell to it.  I can't figure out where the smell is coming from so I have to spray air freshener through out the house when I am done vacuuming.  I went and bought a Rainbow vacuum and it runs circles around the Dyson.  I vacuumed with the Dyson and then ran the Rainbow over the same area and it looked like I had never vacuumed with the Dyson.  Don't waste your money.
