Dyson DC14 Animal Vacuum  — 

I have five kids, a large long haired dog, and a housefull of cats. For almost two decades I was spending about $100 a year on a discount-retailer vacuum. Finially about 18 months ago I invested in a Dyson. I bought it at a steep discount at a "scratch and dent" sale at a vacuum shop. Even though it was brand new, the shipping carton had busted open during transit and scuffed up the side so the lady who ordered it didn't want it. At not quite $300 it ended up being a bargain. I brought it home. Vacuumed with my old vacuum, then immediately vacuumed with my Dyson. I filled the dust cup. I couldn't believe my old vacuum missed that much. I emptied the dust cup. Vacuumed again. Even more went into the dust cup. How could a person who vacuums daily have that much crud in their carpet imediately after vacuuming with their old vacuum. I took the old vacuum straight to the dump. Wouldn't even pass it along to someone else - and it was a brand name! I have a 12 room house - 5 rooms have wall to wall carpet and a 6th room has a large area rug - plus I have a carpeted set of stairs and foyer. I use my Dyson just about daily for both my bare floors and my carpets and have never had to do any maintanence other than wash the filters. While the nearly $500 price tag (more for newer models) may be daunting to some, it's worth every penny to have both the reliability and performance of the Dyson.
