My hoover just didnt seem to be doing its stuff, so we had to buy a new one...opted for a dyson.....oh dear.....the muck that it sucked up...im so ashamed!....Please no one call enviromental health..... Donna xx

PMSL Donna. I felt the same way when I bought mine. I could have made another cat with the amount of hair it collected. Sarah x

Always a shock when you run the Dyson over the carpet Donna. I have the Dyson animal and the amount of fur picked up the other day made me cringe. I normally hoover twice a day, but was a bit slack and only did it once. Christine

Hey mucker!! as long as it's clean enough to be healthy and dirty enought to be happy.... Dust and GR go together as a package - if you are on here you ain't dusting....!! jess

Think ive filled the tank up and i can just see all this muck and i cant open the damn thing to empty it!

Is it upright or cylinder Donna? Christine.... now I'm ashamed. My carpets are lucky to see the dyson twice a week, let alone twice a day.

Lol.Its amazing when you get a dyson,you dont realise how much dust and fluff and muck you are hoovering up.I get embarrassed about the contents of my Dyson so ive hidden it in the toilet so i dont have to look at it.The good thing is that if you hoover up a ring or necklace,like I have,Its easy to see and rescue lol Anna :-)

Its a cylinder one..yellow/gray....now ive got it off and i cant get it back on! No one told me Dysons arent idiot proof! xx

Sarah, its a case of having to, we would be knee deep in dog fur. Only an idiot like me has a blue carpet and black (with lots of white) dogs. Christine

But tell me this - because it's true- Why does my liver and white springer spaniel shed her WHITE fur on the brown hall carpet and her dark LIVER BROWN fur on the beige bedroom carpet! DOH! jess

Why does my ginger cat only ever rub round my legs when I have black trousers on?! Jacky :-)

I met someone who bought a second hand Dyson, the previous owner couldnt open it to empty it, so sold it !!!!!

Donna, we bought a new Dyson Yesterday. Like you we couldnt believe how badly the old one was performing, Old one was a DC04, new one is a DC15 ball...........not only does it get the dogs fur off the carpet, we nearly had to rescue the dog...............any one want some blue merle fur, to knit with? Bob

donna you know ive got a dyson lol we had our DC01 for 9 years and the poor old thing looked a bit sad. so we bought a DC04 and its fantastic jamie and tanya have got my DC01 now and its still going strong!! susie

Twice a day!! I don't even know if I can remember where mine is since I came on this flipping board! Daisy

bob- is it the new 'ball' dyson that you have bought ? i still have the dc01- and its still going strong . but quite fancy the new one i saw on tv .

Yes Sue, Its the new 'Ball' all the others in the showroom seemed too bulky, or heavy, early days with it yet, but it 'Pulls' like the clappers.........and with the turbo brush drive on, it makes going forward ever so easy, AND best of all it doesnt scream like a banshee........Bob-- cant believe how quiet it is.

Sorry ladies but anyone who forks out £350 for a vacumn cleaner mut be bonkers. Elbow the carpets and lay wood. Bob

y is £350 for a vacumn cleaner so called bonkers but spending god nos how many k on a footballer is ok. all they do is kick a bal around abit

My dyson wasnt £350, far less and in a sale....but to see the muck, i would have paid more! Ive had a lesson now in how to empty it! Idiot proof it aint! lol
