Fortunately, we have a central vac. It is hassle to have to drag out
that extra long hose and have that trailing around, but I only have to
empty the canister about once every month or two. This Dyson, supposedly
designed for cleaning up dog hair, has to be emptied about every 5
minutes of vacuuming, and I am lucky to make it through the house
without a more serious clogging issue. And then there is that filter
that needs such frequent cleaning.
