Jen and I got a Dyson DC14 Animal last week and I tried it tonight.

http://www.dyson.com/range/feature_frame.asp?model=DC14-ANIMAL

Sweet mother of God, the goddamn thing sucks like Brianna Banks on a coke-fueled manic bender. Both in terms of pressure and flow. I thought it was going to pull up the carpet, chew it up, spit it out and swear at me. Before, with the old Hoover, we could still see random dog hair sporadically spread on the carpet that it missed. This Dyson, however, calls down the thunder and gets EVERYTHING. Just for shits and giggles, I vacuumed the floor with the trusty Hoover and weighed the dirt it picked up. I got 1.6 ounces (which is actually quite a bit). Then I did the exact same thing with the Dyson. I tried to keep the number of passes and time spent the same, so it was as scientific as possible. It picked up an ADDITIONAL 1.1 ounces. Yeah it works.

All the attachments are pretty slick, too. They're all cleverly designed and run off of vacuum power. Shit, the whole device is pretty trick.

Are the commercials gay? Yes.
Is the dude annoying? Yes.
Does it suck like it's trying to pull the color off the fibers? Hell YES.

I don't care if it is purple and a vacuum. It's a bad motherfucker and I'm proud to brandish it.

I got the Dyson DC14 full access from Best Buy when Jaime and I bought our house in September. The Vacuum is just awesome! We have two dogs and two cats and it pulls all of the hair right up!

yes, I hate carpeting. My long range plan is to replace a lot of my carpeting with hardwood floors.

I picked up a DC07 Animal at Kohls a few months ago. I love the thing. It's rediculous how much crap it picks up. They had the thing on sale, mismarked, and there was a coupon. They honored the price and I think I got it for a little under $250.

Shit furniture like ashely "suede" stains easily. Any decent manufacturer will resist 99% of stains. It is acutally much more resilient than fabric Upholstery

I'll have to keep that in mind when we buy a new sofa. All of our furniture is leather.

Actually, staining hasn't been a problem...and I would take the suede any day over our leather. It is the most comfortable thing I've ever been on. I just get so sleepy everytime I sink into it. :)

Mike,

Only you would scientifically compare vacuums. Funny shit.
