Just wondering, can you instal a ducted vacuum systym? If you can and your handy, you can do it yourself to save costs and there's no dagging it around which makes it great for stairs. Suction is fantastic, lookout for the furkids tails! Lol.

<p>We have a Vax and a Dyson (now waiting repair) and our Vax you can take apart and is easier to unblock than the Dyson.Both are good but we prefer the Vax as it is lighter to use.</p>

<p>I've also had my Dyson for four years now; still happy with it. Took a peek to see what model that I have, it's a Dyson Absolute Animal DC. (I didn't realize that I had an Animal) My daughter borrows it about every two weeks to pick up what her sweeper leaves behind! lol Happy shopping everyone, just what we love- buying vacuums! .....Joy.....</p>

<p>I've got a Vax...it sucks (beautifully), but you can't take it apart to get at blocked hair so after only 18 months, I'm also looking for a new one. I may go back to a Dyson as they are expensive BUT you can maintain them and most of mine have lasted 7 years or more.</p>

<p>We have had the same experience with a dyson. Brilliant to start with but just lost suction and it was not that old. We now have a Wertheim with a motorised head. Reasonable service charge and I can drop it off to a retail outlet just 5 mins away. Dyson only had 1 place in Victoria that you had to send it too. Love this brand so far.</p>

<p>I notice a lot of people plump for Dysons - we've had 2 now. The first one didn't last very long, but we thought we were just unlucky, but our 2nd is going the same way, and I understand from other people we're not alone.</p>
<p>It was brilliant to begin with, but lost suction over a couple of years. Now it only has proper suction if it's held almost upright - so I'm too short to use it. The other half can still use it though, so not all bad.</p>

<p>I have 5 big dogs and have struggled for years with all the dog hair. What I've learned is</p>
<p>1) Have hard floors wherever possible; much easier and cleaner than carpet imo</p>
<p>2) Brush my dogs; every hair on that brush is one less on the floor.</p>
<p>3) Have dog gates so I can confine them when wet/dirty/sandy or even keep one room for visitors/kids dog free.</p>
<p>4) Hoover every day (can't get away with twice a week like I used to before dogs!)</p>

<p>I love my Henry for the hard floors downstairs because he never blocks up and a normal Dyson upstairs on the carpets does ok. Best way to get dog hair off carpeted stairs if it's bad is use a Croc!
