How lame is it that we're thinking about buying a new vacuum with some of our tax refund? Ever since I helped a friend clean out her car with ours, it smells a little bit like wet dog every time I use it - even though I've changed both filters and cleaned the heck out of it.
Anyway, do you have a vacuum you love? Tell me about it!
p.s. We have carpet in our house, no hardwood floors.

Thanks everyone! I'd love a Dyson, but my H wasn't so sure after reading some of the negative reviews on Amazon about poor CS from Dyson and some flimsy parts. This boosts my confidence in it.
Oh, and we don't have a pet (yet), but we might someday if we move into a house with more yard.
Another Dyson lover here. I didn?t get the animal because apparently the only difference was the attachments. 5 years later and it still amazes me every time I use it. If it broke I?d buy another one in a heartbeat. And I have all hardwood.
I know nothing of their customer service. I?ve never had to use it. In 5 years.
Another Dyson Animal. Kohls often offers 30% off sales and they do not exclude the Dyson brand in this sale, at the same time they usually offer $10.00 in Kohls cash for every $50.00 you spend. I think when we got ours it was $399.00 -30% (119.70) = $279.00 and then we got $50.00 in Kohls cash, essentially it was like paying $$229.00 plus tax, a great deal.
To be different, I really like my Kenmore Progressive canister (I have one of the middle models). But if you have all carpet though, a canister is probably not for you. It does work well on carpet, but I like it most for its multi-surface vacuuming abilities and its hand held powered turbo tool for use on my furniture.
My vacuum smelled a little bit like a doggie when I got it (used), and I had it serviced by a vacuum guy. It smelled much better afterward. Just a thought.
