That's the same reason why I won't get an Oreck. I remember once the owner of the company said he will never have attachments for his product, which is why he offers to give you a small free canister with attachments. Who would want to drag two vacuum cleaners with them while your moving furniture and stuff to clean? Crazy...
I can relate to your friend, with that many shedding dogs you would have to vac everyday, and keep your home interior as simple as possible to keep up with the fur all over the place. -------Original Message------- From: Deanna Corey Date: 2/27/2011 12:54:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Vacuum Cleaners I have an Oreck for my downstairs. It is loud but I love it because it is so light weight. I don't like not having the on board hose attachment though.. with bird stuff everything seems to blow to the edges...I don't have a lot of dog hair...after Toby the ESS went to live back with my daughter...he was my fur dog...everyone else has more human like hair so no shedding. I have a dear friend who has 8 huge Samoyeds.....the hair in her home is crazy. Everything is white all the time and when I go over to visit I know all of me as well as any of my fur babies I take will be white by the time we get home!! Lol! I love dogs...you guys all know I am nuts that way...but I seriously doubt I would be happy living with that much hair!!!! Wagging Tails in the Dog Park!

Even a small piece of paper will clog the Vac. It does a good job at dirt, as for hair, I am up in the air about that. Depending on what model of Oreck you buy, they include xx # number of years of free cleaning of the vac.

There are several of their vacuums that are super good. or try a Oreck, it is better than a Hoover but not as good as a Dyson From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peggy & The Girls Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2011 9:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Vacuum Cleaners I just read the comments on the Dyson site and they weren't good.

I would really love to have one that is much more quiet then the Hoover was, that thing could wake the dead it was so loud, but it did a good job for 5 years. http://www.dyson.com/store/hmc.asp -------Original Message------- From: dasha Date: 2/26/2011 6:29:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Vacuum Cleaners Yes, it works on carpet and all other floors also. you can switch between carpet and bare floor. It is amazing for pet hair. Dyson will let you return any product you don't like.

It handles everything really well including bird molting fluff. It has been going strong now for 7 years and is always trustworthy...the only thing I have ever come close to the power and reliability of my Kirby.. but kirbys are sooooooo heavy and have no inboard tools.

Not only did I clean out the part where the belt goes and had to use the dog comb to get all the fur off of the brush, and changed the belt, but then when I opened the motor, I was shocked to see that everything was embedded with her fur. So I need a machine that can really suck up her fur without killing it's motor guts, lol! What Brand and Model# do you all use? Are you very happy with your vacuum cleaner, especially for dog fur?
