With 5 dogs and 1 cat, the house can easily be turned into a fur rug. We have 2 Dyson vacuums in the house (DC 08 and DC 08T) with whom we had previously been very satisfied and without hesitation absorb more than 2 or 3 years everything that comes before the nozzle ... but was the daily removal of dog hair from the few rugs in the house always quite a drudgery ... especially since our dogs had eventually decided not just twice a year to hair, but to distribute it on all year and then also relish snoring incorporate the hair in the carpets ... so needed a turbine nozzle. The mini turbine nozzle stabbed us immediately catches the eye, as it was affordable even pricewise. Arrived, unpacked, tried ... first on our black carpet - and a miracle once very slowly over it sucked and you could see the traces of the brush clear as black, hair and dust-free strip recognize! Of course, this is not my normal slow sucking Saugstil and is not necessary. I suck now quite normal and look delighted about this, as the dog hairs disappear. We are now considering interpret even the vestibule all with carpet tiles. Without Dyson we would probably perish in dog hair :-)
