I already own two Kenmore cannister vacuums (bag type - I use high
filtration type), two large capacity wet/dry Shop Vacs, and a Black &
Decker rechargeable hand vac. What I need is something to use for
general house cleaning instead of the cannisters that will save me
time and effort, and if possible clean more efficiently. The
cannister type seem to clean okay but changing the bags is messy and
it seems to take me an inordinately large block of time to vacuum my
entire house, takes me like 5-6 hours, and substantial effort... but I
vacuum the walls, mouldings, essentially everything in the room that's
vacuumable and naturally the floors too... I have all hardwood floors
and area rugs, no wall to wall carpeting. Everything is on one floor,
but I do have a basement (unfinished but painted), I use a Shop Vac
down there.

I'm thinking of purchasing a new vacuum cleaner and am seriously
considering the Dyson DC15: http://tinyurl.com/9zpat

Anyone have a Dyson... can you offer specific comments pro/con from
your own first hand experience that would help me decide whether or
not to invest substantial dollars into a yet another vacuum cleaner.
Keep in mind I have six cats, so there are always dust bunnies
everywhere so I vacuum often. Thank you.
