I just bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner over the weekend

holy shit does that thing suck

no way I'd want it near my head

Bought a dyson "animal hair control - heavy duty" vacuum in either 2006 or 2007. Replaced a belt once (but it was damaged from improper use) and the extension stretch pipe needs replaced (again some misuse) but otherwise it's going strong and solid. Considering the number of hair dryers my wife has bought, the noise, and if it could reduce time then I think it'd be a good investment.
