KYS,

THANK YOU!!!! I really wanted to learn more about the Dyson vacuum.

2 years ago I bought what I THOUGHT was an awesome vacuum, the Oreck XL. At the time I had beige carpeting in my apartment. I have since moved into an apartment that has maroon carpeting. To say it shows EVERY SINGLE piece of cat hair is putting it mildly! The Oreck leaves streaks in my carpeting. It doesn't clean on the sides (that's why they offer you a portable Oreck with purchase). I emailed them and told them I was dissatisfied with it. They called me but I accidentally deleted the message off my answering machine.

As soon as I get a full-time job, I'm planning on buying a new vacuum.

Anyone else have any recommendations for a vacuum cleaner???
