I have a Dyson and I have had to put it in the shop 3 times because it would not pick up the pet hair on my floors (and yes I have the animal) but when it works it is great just make sure to get the extended warrantee that way they fix it for free I am so glad that I did

We got ours for $180.00 we got the floor model so you should ask around now that thy have so many new ones out.
