I have 4 dogs and 2 cats and a clean house! It is not just that the machine and a miracle but it is so easy that it changed my motivation to the household. Before vacuuming always fall to the last on my list of things to accomplish for the day, largely due to weight of the machine and the pipes and son of a traditional vacuum cleaner I always trapped in the doors. I did not want to go out just for a little while, but to pass on all the house once - and he rarely has time to give hours for that - or at least he has something more interesting to do! Now when I see q'il is a need to spend, it's really easy to do - I'm addicted!
And I enjoy the super tip that I found in reviews here and I save 165. I bought the Digital Slim (Silver) at Amazon and after I buy the small motorized head on the website Dyson gives exactly the same product with the same power as the Dyson Animal (purple). Only the color and price are different.
If you hate vacuuming, I would recommend it without reservation!
