    Poor Roomba!

    I always wanted one of those, but I love my Dyson, too! It makes vacuuming fun, really!

    OMG! I think attempts at origami would be much more difficult with a vaccum than a mere squirrel.

    I'm now sitting here, visualizing Nanci's bird, sans feathers 'cause her Dyson sucked 'em all off......

    We've got one of those guys too - Chloe hates it. I walked into the back room where it's "docked" one night, she is lying there, pointing at it, with her hackles raised, asleep! The ever vigilant corgi - on guard even at rest.....

    Do those things work? I've always wanted one and last week, Home Depot had one on sale. I go through vacuum cleaners like crazy - I've got a Newfie mix - 125 lbs. of fluffy black hair EVERYWHERE. I also like the Dyson concept - again - does it work? Will it last?

    I sure hope V's Dyson never gets stuck under the wheel of her trainer!

    I, too, love my Dyson. I have a cat with the most ridiculously silky, fine, adherant hair, which she sheds non-stop (her motto: I eat to shed). The other cat is short-haired, and a prolific shedder as well (his motto: I live to track cat litter all over the house). The Dyson is the ONLY vacuum that can get both up. Although...an R2D2 vacuum cleaner could be fun for the whole family! Also the cats would have fun with a squirrel...am I getting off track here?
