Tonya - this is was the info I needed. I know most of you know how it is
to live in a multi-cat household...and yes, I'm crazy...but I have (now) seven
cats am frightfully allergic to them! LOL!
My story is that my quality of life would diminish so much if I was
allergy-free but without cats that it simply wouldn't be worth it.
Therefore...besides 180mg of Allegra plus popping benedryl like candy several
times a day and any homeopathic that works...I use the vacuum cleaner so much
that I never put it away (for anyone else in my condition -- allergist says --
do not use ceiling fan over the bed -- stirs up the dander -- and wash
everything in very hot water several times a week. I put throws over the
couches, etc so I can frequently wash and I brush the babies as often as I
can). They are precious dear babies and I wouldn't go a single day without any
one of them!
The purple dyson has been an absolute god-send. I can't recommend it
enough...it is one of the most cleverly engineer pieces of equipment I have
ever seen. I have very long hair myself and so I used to burn out a motor at
least once a year in spite of constantly cleaning the beater bar, changing
bags, etc. When I got the dyson...I used it right after I used the old
vaccum...and just in my den section alone it removed over a quart of cat hair
in one use. Holy cat dander batman!!! It's worth every penny and more!
That being said...I'm still considering a roomba for in-between....
Thanks Tonya...this info doesn't discourage me in the slightest...just lets
me know what's involved in the maintenance. And everything with moving parts
requires maintenance (or you won't be keeping it very long).
