I am soooo jelous Polly, I want one of these!!

Dyson Animal is the one to have if you have pets. Not that expensive, watch for a sale in the spring at Home Sense, and the other box store places in the malls. We got one two years ago for 469.99! Yes, and I love ti, with two very furry cats, it cleans up in a jiffy! Gotta have one. Forget the built in vacuums...they suck...nothing.

It looks great but it does not vaccum amazingly

I'm sure glad you told us about your Dyson Polly as I have been thinking about getting one but am tired of spending money on vacuum's that don't work as well as one should. Do the Dyson's have hepa-filters?

My younger sister bought one on Boxing Day, and she's been singing praises about how great her's is, so much so that my wife is thinking of getting one.

I've entered a few contests to win one but they've accidentally given it to someone else.

Lol Hoso =) ... I hear you ... so many cars were given away to people and they've seemingly left my name out =)

Is Dyson vacuums really all that they claim them to be?

I bought the Shark Infinity Lite vacuum on sale at Canadian Tire in April 2009. Really like it alot - and my mom had bought one months prior and gave it the thumbs-up, as did online reviewers on Canadian Tire and other sites, etc.

I wanted a Dyson when I was replacing my old vac and we'd just had berber carpet installed. When I mentioned it to the installer, he said it would void my carpet warranty b/c the suction was so powerful.One loose thread on the berber going around the beater bar would unravel it very fast. I chickened out and got a Miele canister vac and am satisfied. Very quiet and hasn't eaten my carpet (yet)

Heh-heh, Silver =)

I don't know anyone that has one. I am quite satisfied with my vaccum, and do not have intentions on getting a Dyson if and when mine wears out.
