Dyson DC14 Animal Vacuum Review

We use this vacuum at my work.  A coworker convinced my boss that this was the most wonderful vacuum in the world.  We've had it now for almost 2 years, and I hate it.  It worked well at first, but now it hardly sucks up any of the dust or dirt on the floor.  We use it to vacuum a very small shop 5 days a week.  The filter gets clogged too quickly, and as soon as it clogs up the entire machine stops picking up anything else.  It takes 24 hours to let the filter dry after cleaning, which makes it difficult for us since we need it almost every day.  The machine is now having problems coming apart to even empty the waste out of it, and I needed a customer to help me pry the thing open one day.  Maybe it works well for light home cleaning, but for anyone who likes cleaning the house a couple days a week, this is definitely not the right vacuum.
