[Shop-talk] vacuum cleaners (non-shop)

[Tom & Marge FitzGibbon]

I second the Dyson (other than the whole not wanting to spend a fortune part). As Patton noted, they work wonders with pet hair. We have 2 dogs and were going through quality, brand-name vacuum cleaners (canister and upright) at a rate of 1 per year. We've had the Dyson for a number of years (5 plus, I think) with no problems whatsoever.

My wife loves her Dyson. I am not sure it would be worth the money to 
you, but she used to complain about a string of different brands 
before. We were on a every 2 year replacement cycle as she was 
battling dog and cat hair. After getting the Dyson 6 years ago, she 
hasn't complained. That's compelling enough for me! 

I did save some money by getting a refurbished unit.
