Believe it or not, I STILL don't have a new one! DH *repaired* the old one, but we have to replace the belt about every other use. So annoying, so this one is just going to hold us over while I'm saving my pennies for one of the big boys! I love how you guys are still updating me about your vacuums!

I am madly in love with my vacuuum. I have prosthyletized about it at dinner parties (much to the shock and horror of my guests). <br /><br />I have a Eureka The Boss Smart Vac. It sucks up everything. EVERYTHING. I've used a Dyson before and seriously, it has nothing on this vacuum. Even better, the Eureka is just a fraction of the price. It has lots of attachments that conveniently fit into little notches on the vacuum itself so no need to worry about storing them or losing them. <br /><br />Truly, I cannot recommend this vacuum enough. And who ever thought I'd have such strong feelings about a vacuum? <br /><br />I got mine at Best Buy, but I'm sure it's sold elsewhere. I’m so glad you asked. I am madly in love with my vacuuum.

I asked all my friends and they came back saying a DYSON. I did tons of reasearch and for what I wanted it came back pointed to a DYSON. I am very frugal so this was a sticker shock to me. I ended up waiting till it went on sale somewhere...Sears had %15 off all their Dysons. I took in the ad to the Bed Bath and Beyond. They called the store to price check (typically the don't have to do this if you have the ad). The Sears clear quoted an even lower price for the Dyson I wanted. So Bed Bath and Beyond price matched it and then took my 20% from my coupon. The manager walked up a few minutes later and said they are not suppose to take the 20% off price matches, but the sales clerk had already did it she would let it go. If they try to tell you that they don't do it....you should tell them it doesn't state anywhere in their policy regarding this or on the coupon. My opinion is that the price match isn't a sales price...just matching a normal price for the product so you should be able to use your coupon. Anyhow I bought the DYSON Ball DC25 Animal (the purple one). I listed the reasons below why it is worth every penny and will save you money in the long run if you invest in a dyson vs another vac.<br /><br />- the ball vacuum is SOOOO easy to move around. My hubby actually loves using it because you can move it with the flip or your wrist. There is no other vacuum like this one.<br />- it is light so you can pick it up easily and carry upstairs and downstairs<br />- the extension hose is housed inside so you just pull it up and out....so easy to use and works great. the attachments all have nice compartments to house it on the vacuum..very easy to remove and put back.<br />- the hepa filter never needs to be replaced so you will save tons of money as other vacuums you have replace them often. the dyson filter can be washed easily.<br />- the canister is easy to remove, empty, and put back into place.<br />- the vacuum has AMAZING suction!!!<br /><br />Truly a great vacuum. We have a roomba too, but it can not handle all the carpet in our new house...the dyson is actually fun to use :) Hello…I recently was in your shoes.

- the ball vacuum is SOOOO easy to move around. My hubby actually loves using it because you can move it with the flip or your wrist. There is no other vacuum like this one.
- it is light so you can pick it up easily and carry upstairs and downstairs
- the extension hose is housed inside so you just pull it up and out….so easy to use and works great. the attachments all have nice compartments to house it on the vacuum..very easy to remove and put back.
- the hepa filter never needs to be replaced so you will save tons of money as other vacuums you have replace them often. the dyson filter can be washed easily.
- the canister is easy to remove, empty, and put back into place.
- the vacuum has AMAZING suction!!!

Truly a great vacuum. We have a roomba too, but it can not handle all the carpet in our new house…the dyson is actually fun to use :)
