Dyson for Us
After much reading of online reviews and going to various stores (and then back to the stores, still not making a decision, etc), we ended up with a Dyson. Target had the best price (better than Costco), and a $60 Target gift card with the purchase.
It's a "slim" model, but still weighs about 15 pounds.
It seems to really pull a lot of nasty junk out of our carpets, so, you know, I think it will work out okay.
I'm thinking of doing a little "Tour of Homes" (except it will just be my house) over the next few days. Come see my super-clean carpets!

Ahhhhhhhhhh. Dyson. How I love thee.
Congratulations on this new era of vacuuming you've embarked on!
I look forward to the tour.
*takes a seat*

Oh, I love my Dyson...seriously, I almost did a post one time about how I was having an affair on my husband with my Dyson. I was so amazed at how much junk it pulled out of my carpet b/c I am a clean freak! I vacuumed every room in our house so many times, I was shocked we still had carpet left! ENJOY!
