I've had my Dyson for 4 years Kate - I wouldn't swap it for the world! It's wonderful. I'd only had my Hoover about 18 months and coulldn't wait to get rid of it - it was useless.

The Dyson it great at picking up cat hair and even pulled out all the stops when Elizabeth's dog - Tricky - lived with us - and boy she was one long haired pooch!!

It even copes really well with soil from upturned flower pots - I'm a bit of a klutz!!

Oh yes and it's good for both carpets, rugs and hard wood floors.

Since I got my Dyson I've persuaded my best friend and my daughter Diane (in the States) and they've both now got one!!
