Having hard floors or a good quality carpet makes a bigger difference in cleaning time than the brand of vacuum cleaner I suspect I can see maybe getting one of these refurbished Dyson DC17 All-Floor Vacuum if you had allergies or a cat - but to honest its a helluva lot of money - for what is just a vacuum cleaner!

Sorry to hear about your customer service problems but that seems like par for the course these days. I always check eBay and a few other online sources for vacuum cleaner parts before going to the company direct. It usually saves some money doing that. Belts breaking on vacuums is always a pain. Also, I've found that the plastic parts around the belt drives tend to warp over time from the heat. My Dyson is too new yet for that to happen to it but we'll see how long it holds up against our cats. Hi Gail,

Not as well as I expected after reading some of the reviews. Big hassle when belt breaks. You cant get one anywhere (not even there website) you have to call dyson, I had to hold almost 10 minutes then spoke with a very rude person and now have to do without a vacuum 7 to 10 days before I receive belt.

I've been thinking of getting a Dyson. I have a 4 year old Hoover WindTunnel and hate it. I find the bagless concept doesn't work for me. I've got to empty the container and clean the screen after almost every use (could be because we have a cat). I think I might go back to the old Hoover bag-type vacuum, but I intend to check out the Dyson first since I've heard such good things about it. Based on your mentioning "pet households" it sounds like I may have the same problem with it. ~ Steve (aka trade show booths) Hi Frank,
