Due to the very high number of complaints about the problems people were having with heavy duty tasks (which is what the mixer should have been made for!) due to cheap plastic housing holding the heavy duty metal gears, I contact KitchenAid to find out if this design flaw has been fixed. It has been and here is their response (note that they are saying that if you receive one of the models with the plastic housing they will replace it under warranty with the new metal housing. It is also important to note that the people who've had the problem have almost all stated that KitchenAid had great customer service and replaced their mixers with no ones with no problems

My husband bought our KitchenAid stand mixer during the spring of 1989 along with the accessory bundle. It is a fantastic appliance and I couldn't cook as easily without it. I have sung its praises ever since I started using it. As a matter of fact three of my friends/family have bought one based on my insistence that it is a quality product and our daughter and son in law were very happy to receive theirs as a wedding gift from us. That having been said, the housing on the meat grinder is cracked. I can't say when it did cracked as it has languished in the drawer for many years. Also, we have put it in the top tray of the dishwasher to clean and sanitize it and I don't know if we weren't supposed to do that. The plastic could have become brittle and just cracked. After reading the other reviews complaining about the same issue I am thinking my justifications as to why it cracked are less likely. The only reason I am writing this review now after all these years is because I am surprised and upset that it did crack as it really hasn't been used that often. Also when we were making sausage the meat would squish out around the plate area but I attributed that to it being plastic and not able to seal well. I see other people have had the same issue though. I'm sorry for the length of this review. I wanted to be clear on the reason for the complaint as I do like the mixer. So in summary, I fully recommend the stand mixer as it seems to be of good quality and still works great even though it is 25+ years old. I have also bought other KitchenAid appliances, including our refrigerator, based on the normal quality of the company. I cannot recommend buying the grinder accessory though. It seems to have a design or material flaw and just seems cheap in comparison to the rest of the appliance.

A beautiful and extremely functional machine!
By Roger
from Desoto TX
Comments about KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6 Quart Pink Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer:
I received this mixer about a week ago and it has exceeded my expectations. This mixer is replacing my 25+ year old classic (purchased in 1989) that is still going strong but no longer has the capacity I currently require. I have most of the attachments already but have seen a huge difference in the processing power of this "beast". My first project was to make a triple batch of a heavy French sour dough which this mixer didn't have any issue with (the classic would complain with a batch and a half about 1/2 way through the kneeding process).Features I really like: direct drive, even though I've not had any issues with the classic, I imagine this feature should allow this machine to last me another 25+ years.Larger motor - no complaining when kneeding large batches of thick dough.Flip up accessory cover. I no longer have to be concerned about losing the cover (I never lost the one on the classic, but this feature is one more thing I don't have to worry aboutAbility to use smaller bowl - love the 3qt add-on bowlDoesn't get as hot as classic when using the grain mill for my breads (I grind most of my grains because my wife is gluten intolerant).Powers through fresh pasta using pasta press - classic would complain and get much hotter.I much prefer the bowl lift over the head tilt if the classic because over the years the head tilt has become loose and "rattles".Love the 11 wire wisk add-on, much quicker whipped items (crimes, meringues etc.)Although this unit is a little heavier than the classic, I'm sure this additional weight has been why this unit doesn't walk around on the counter.I think I would have preferred the "DC" motor offered on the KSM models, but not being able to use KitchenAid or aftermarket bowl accessories (whips, scraper paddles etc) was a deal breaker on that model & the 7-8qt models are just way to expensive for me to justify that motor.Overall, I'm expecting many years of satisfaction from this unit and would highly recommend this.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Time Saver!
By No store bought baked goods here!
from Fountain, CO
I purchased this about a month ago to help me fill our new home with the smell of baked goodness. I expected it to be a hands free help, it is but what I didn't expect was how much time it would save as well! Most mixing times are cut in half and clean-up is a breeze, even when my little one wants to help (just turn on the blender, vs. holding the hand mixer and getting batter everywhere! I'm loving my new kitchen toy!
Lasted 14 months and then stopped working
By JimG
from Los Angeles, CA
I bought this on June 5, 2015 and it lasted 14 months. I went to use it today, it started making a strange noise followed by it jamming. This is the second one in this same series that didn't last 2 years. My previous kitchenaid lasted 20 years and these newer ones seem to make it through the warranty period and then die.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By Elsie rows
from Pittsburgh pa
I love this so much!! I was using my moms smaller kitchen aid stand mixer before this and the power that the pro line has is amazing!

Helping me eat a Paleo diet
By Jen the Paleo eater
from Barrie, Ontario
I was so excited to start using my mixer! It's only one month old and I've already taught myself to make a whole range of different Paleo treats! I was frustrated that grain, sugar and dairy free treats and deserts are so expensive and now I can whip anything new together in no time and my kids love it! This mixer has officially changed my game in the kitchen!

I have wanted the professional mixer for years. I already had a standard stand mixer by Kitchenaid, but I do a lot of baking. This professional mixer is perfect and since I have had my other mixer for 18 years, I know this one will last!

I'm so happy that I finally purchased one of these! Would do it again in a heartbeat.

If that wasn't enough, I get the following email from Mr. Frankel "I just want everyone to know that Jay has tested positive for drugs, be very careful of Jay he is a loose cannon He is late on his house payment and car payment. He still owes us $780 !! Be very careful" #1 I don't use drugs #2 I don't own a home #3 I own my 1994 camry (no payments) #4 how could I possibly owe them money??? It cost me over $300 to work for them just in gas alone!!!
I'm in disbelief...this guy, Andy Frankel is a CEO???????? I look forward to the day this guy tries to sue me for working for his company and I can go before a Judge and tell this story...

Waterford - Yellow caution tape still hung Sunday from the gate at the entrance of the dirt road leading to the charred house at 6½ Josan Drive.
The tape was first placed there on Feb. 9, when a late afternoon fire consumed the house, leaving a mother and son with little more than the clothes on their backs.
More than two months later, Ken Willett, 56, and his mother Rosa "Toni" Photie, 87, are still piecing their lives back together after losing the home they had lived in for roughly 50 years.
"I miss everything about it," Photie said Sunday while sitting in the passenger seat of her son's car during her first visit to the property since the fire.
"I can't explain it," she added quietly. "You know, the fire keeps running through my head."
Willett and Photie spent the night of the fire at the house of their neighbor, Stephanie Hughes. They said help from the community has since been critical in making their difficult transition easier.
"The way things fell into place after the fire is phenomenal," said Willett, an HIV prevention counselor at York Correctional Center in East Lyme.
He said people cooked them meals and gave them clothing and other necessities. Wayside Furniture and Sleep Shop in Waterford donated two mattresses and the Salvation Army gave them a gift card, he said.
After a week at a Motel 6 that was paid for with funds from the American Red Cross, Hughes, the neighbor who also is the property manager at Eagle Point Apartments in New London, secured for the pair a two-bedroom apartment in the complex, according to Willett.
He ducked under a strip of caution tape Sunday as he led a tour of the destroyed six-room ranch. He said the fire started when the furnace burst into flames, spreading through the house and consuming virtually all of the family's belongings.
Barefoot, Willett and his mother got out safely with their dog, according to Hughes, but they never found their cat. Willett said the family may rebuild the house or may just sell the property.
The first room in the house was Willett's bedroom as a child, until his sister moved out, he said. He walked across the damp embers Sunday to the dining room. To the right were cabinets filled with dishes, now blackened, a collection belonging to Photie. In the center of the room sat a table.
"I remember so many dinners with our family from Brooklyn," around that table, Willett said later.
An insurance snafu has complicated the replacement of the destroyed items, Willett said. In December or January, he said, he had received a letter from his insurance company stating it would no longer provide coverage for properties in Connecticut. He assumed the coverage would end at the end of 2014. He later discovered that coverage was terminated in January.
The result was that the contents of the house were not insured, though the structure itself was covered through the mortgage lender's insurance, according to Willett.
Hughes said the insurance shortfall is one reason she and a group of Willett's co-workers, friends and neighbors have planned a fundraiser for late next month.
"Just imagine your whole life just wiped out in a matter of four hours," she said.
The event, which will include dinner, live music, a silent auction and raffles, is set for 7 p.m., May 23 at Langley's Restaurant at Great Neck Country Club. Tickets are $20.
Aside from community support, Photie said, a sense of humor helps she and her son cope.
Just before heading back to the apartment to make Easter dinner, she stepped out of the car to mention that she especially missed her hat collection.
Willett asked her whether she wanted to go into the house, but she declined.
"You wanna see my room? I didn't clean it," he quipped.

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I would like to bring the following situation to your attention:
First Time I Joined Primerica:
I joined Primerica in 2002 for the first time and "worked" under a Ronald ("Ron") Jones in the Don Steepe Base Shop. Location: Irivne, CA.
I was very eager to be with Primerica mostly due to its co-called Opportunities Meeting. Basically, they fish your resume from Monster or Hotjobs, call you up pretending this is a real over-the-phone interview, and invite you to a meeting where you're being told how great Primerica is.
After the meeting, you meet with your "recruiter," who is just there to talk you to death about the great opportunity, the alturistic way of helping people etc. Oh, and you're supposed to pay $199.
What happens next? You attend a class after which you receive your Certificate that you need in order to take the State License Exam. Fact is that one person I know never received her certificate (even after 1 year) despite constant asking and asking, and asking. After 1 year her recruiter said that there is a missing box in her application. After 1 year...
But, let's get back to my story: Mr. Jones turned out to be a great disappointment. Never received any good training, questions remained unanswered, he was not able to discuss any financial issues I raised, and broke promises all the time.
The recruiter would tell you right away to compile a list with all people you know. Well, of course, to build your market, right? Wrong. The hidden agenda is that they want to sell all their products to your friends and family and get all the referrals.
Do not ever give out an address that, in their jargon, is only a 1 or 2 pointer. That means, anyone who really needs help in their finances, is not worth turning to. 1 or 2 pointers simply are people who are unmarried, are below $50K, no house etc.
I sometimes provided 1 or 2 pointers. Response: "He's a f... loser." "She's a drunken b*tch." "Let him go down all by himself." "He's not worth my time."
Sounds very professional to me, doesn't it? Those comments from a financial services instiution?!? Great!
This is the company you want to be involved with? Just another pyramid scheme. Your recruiter will tell you to recruit, recruit, and recruit. This puts people under you -- people who make money for you in the end.
What else? Now and then, there are so-called Builder School events. Sounds good. Reality: Just give trophies to those with the most recruits, had the most sales etc. No real learning going on here. Just motivation for the masses.
Whenever you visit their offices, look at all the posters, all the brochures, all the movies. Motivation pure. Don't dare saying anything negative about Primerica.
I joined Primerica twice and was with them for almost 2 years. I know the insides. I'm not making up stories. Why should I? There's no gain for me here.
My best advice: Stay away from Primerica!

Shanghai Library's East Hall has been envisioned as a 'large house for all' that takes its cues from China's ancient libraries
New York-based nARCHITECTS has won first prize in the 2016 International Young Architects Design Competition for the 110,000 m sq Shanghai Library East Hall. The competition, which generated over 200 entries, was held by Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Government, aimed at enhancing Shanghai's unique cultural influence and promoting qualities of public life there. The library proposal entitled 'Library as Home' envisions a library that feels like a large house for all, with a rich variety of environments that Shanghai's citizens could appropriate as their own. The design is inspired by the intimate connections between people, media and nature in libraries of the ancient world. As with the two distinct environments in China's oldest library 'Tian Yi Ge', the scheme is characterized by open floors that connect library activities to

All Product Details
Praise for Tyrannosaurus Wrecks
andquot;Punchy writing, an equally in-your-face palette, and OHoraandrsquo;s characteristically brash painting style make this as much a stompalong as a readaloud.andquot;
--Publishers Weekly
andquot;Along with the pleasure of pronouncing those multisyllabic dino names, young audiences may find food for thought in the behavioral dynamics on display.andquot;
--Kirkus Reviews
andquot;Warmly colored with childlike bodies and emotive faces, Ohoraandrsquo;s dinosaurs are among the cutest you will come across in childrenandrsquo;s books.andquot;
andquot;The brief rhyming text, which scans well, tells a story with child appeal. There is a good balance of two-to-three word sentences with large, uncluttered illustrations, making the book a good choice for reading aloud. In their simplicity, the brightly colored pictures have the look of childrenandrsquo;s art, but they enhance the classroom setting appropriately with interesting details.andquot;
--School Library Journal
andquot;The shapely dinos, whose rough charcoal-style outlines and strong colors vividly contrast with the white or sometimes black backgrounds, are chunky and friendly in an eight-crayon-box color scheme and snazzy Peanuts-reminiscent outfits.andquot;
--Bulletin of the Center for Childrenandrsquo;s Books
andquot;Together the chanting rhythm, ragged lines, and setting of an un-chaperoned dinosaur class create a satisfyingly high-energy, primal read-aloud strongly reminiscent of Bob Sheaandrsquo;s and#39;Dinosaur vs.and#39; series.andquot;
--The Horn Book Magazine
What if a dinosaur catches the flu?
Does he whimper and whine between each "At-choo"?
Does he drop dirty tissues all over the floor?
Does he fling his medicine out of the door?
Just like kids, little dinosaurs hate being sick. And going to the doctor can be pretty scary. How DO dinosaurs get well soon? They drink lots of juice, and they get lots of rest; they're good at the doctor's, 'cause doctors know best.
As in their first dinosaur book, Yolen and Teague capture children's fears about being sick and put them to rest with playful read-aloud verse and hilarious pictures.
But to get airborne, they need a plan. They dinoblow. They run, push, leap, flapand#8212;and
take flight! The sky becomes their stage, as they join an air show. Zipping and zooming
and dancing on wings, the dinos are soon upside down and dinosick! They decide
to bail, hoping their dinochutes will work. They dino-do!
In this exuberant follow up to Dinosailors and All Aboard the Dinotrain, the rollicking
rhymes and paintings of reckless reptiles are dinofabulous.
Mark Teague is an award-winning children's book author and illustrator whose books include the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling How Do Dinosaurs... series, the LaRue series, FIREHOUSE!, FUNNY FARM, and many other humorous picture books. Mark lives in New York state with his wife and their two daughters.

A Red, Red Rose
by Robert Burns
Analysis: Trivia
Brain Snacks: Tasty Tidbits of Knowledge
Burns was no stranger to financial woes; at one point, he agreed to sail to Jamaica to work as a bookkeeper on a plantation. For various reasons, however, he never made the trip, to which we say, sorry buddy, we hear Sandals is awesome. (Source.)
Robert Burns was a lusty fellow; he had a number of love affairs, and apparently fathered a large number of children (some say ten, some say fourteen).
At one point in his life, Burns worked as an exciseman, i.e. somebody in charge of making sure people paid their taxes (especially on alcohol). (Source.)
In 2009, Robert Burns was voted The Greatest Scot of all time by STV (a Scottish television network) viewers. He narrowly beat William Wallace (you know the guy Mel Gibson played in Braveheart?) (Source.)
The title of John Steinbeck's famous novel—Of Mice and Men (1937)—is from a Burns poem called "To a Mouse."
The great American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan once stated that "A Red, Red Rose" was the lyric or verse that has had the biggest effect on his life. (Source.)

Abracadabra, Your Hotel Has a Marketing Budget.
By Antonio Anguiano
Sunday, 25th May 2014
When it comes to hotels, as for any marketing budget, you need a goal; marketing is all about how much you will earn, not about how much you will spend.
You have an online marketing budget. Even if you dont think you do. The commissions you pay to OTAs are indirect marketing. What they spend in their visibility to provide your bookings, they make you repay in commissions, plus their margin.
When you look at the « OTA commissions » line of your P&L, there you have your online budget marketing for the year. Pretty big for a marketing budget, right?
This leads to your marketing goal: spend this money for a better purpose. Selling your rooms through your own website is a higher purpose.
First, that money is spent entirely on your brand, not for some hotel aggregators brand.
Second, this is money you wont have to spend every year for each client. When your clients book on your website, you build loyalty. These clients know you personally, you have their e-mail address. You can communicate with them, offer promotions to them, you can well, market your hotel to them.
Now some math.
You sell your rooms at $100 ADR via OTAs.
Let your objective be to switch 10 of those rooms from OTAs to your own website this year.
With an average commission rate on OTAs of 20% and an average commission of your website booking engine of 4%, you will save 16% of your room price.
Thats $16 / room / day.
To make sure clients will book on your website, make it $1 less expensive there, thats all it takes.
$15 x 10 room x 365 days of the year. Your marketing budget this year is roughly 55.000 dollars.
How hard can it be to spend that much money?
First, put 10K every year on a highly converting, highly convincing website for your hotel. For example a new 30K website every 3 years. Thats including media production (content photos, videos) and updates.
Then, you need to bring traffic. 30K a year seems right to reach your objective of switching 10 rooms from OTAs.
Split it in 2: half for Search Engine Advertising, and half on meta-search websites such as Tripadvisor. $30K to « buy
» 3650 room night brings it down to $8,2 per room night acquired, a very reachable ROI through adwords and meta-search.
OTAs get many bookings through their link on your Tripadvisor page. How simple is it to have them book on your website instead? As simple as $1 per room.
And if youre afraid this wont work and you could lose all your money, find a Booking Engine / Hotel Marketing provider that will be happy to invest that money for you.
But you have spent only 40K out of the 55K of your budget. Reinvest 10K in your hotel, or send them to your happy investor.
And with the remaining 5? Take your family on a holiday trip. And make sure you book it on the hotels website.

I'm having this problem with the spacing between paragraphs in a page. When I format the page using the "text" tab then look at it in the visual the spacing/code is changed. The same happens when I write something out in the "visual" tab and switch to the "text" tab. Regardless of the tab I choose to edit in the spacing is ruined if I decide to view it in another tab.
No matter what I add to keep the spacing in place, for example </br> tags they're just deleted when I switch to the visual tab.
I'm using the origami theme.
Please help :)

1067 reviews | 4.7 out of 5
I never purchased a pricey vacuum, before. But boy, I have been missing out. Right after the product was delivered to our home, I put the vacuum together (which was easy, by the way), and I started vacuuming the basement. Immediately, I was impressed by the vacuum's suction power. We have a dog who I thought didn't shed a whole lot of hair, but apparently, I was wrong. The Dyson was picking up puppy hair that my other cheap, vacuum failed to pick up from the carpet. I was curious to see how well the Dyson would perform on hardwood floors, and once again, I was very impressed. Even though, the snow outside is long gone, the salt/sand still remains and gets tracked into our house, which drives me nuts. When I used our cheaper vacuum on the hard woods, the vacuum would pick up some of the sand, but other particles would just blow around. Thus, I had to use a broom to finish the job. With the Dyson, I can keep the broom in closet: the Dyson sucks up all the sand with no issues at all. I love this vacuum!
I was hesitant to purchase this vacuum, as I had read it was not the quality that Dyson had once been known for. But after trying a Shark (which could not stand up to the pets in our house) and since Oreck only provides one bagless vacuum which is not one of their better products) I decided an Animal was my only option. I purchased this and have been using it for a week. I agree with reviews I read that this vacuum is of lesser quality than previous Dysons. The DC 41 feels flimsier, the ball squeaks when I push it, and the canister is much smaller than my previous Animal. I gave it 4 stars because: 1) performance is still pretty great 2) the cord is long enough so I do not constantly have to plug it into other outlets 3) I have yet to have to cut dog hair out of the roller (I have a Great Pyrenees), which I've always had to do with other vacuums (even my previous Dyson).
Overall, I would suggest this product to friends. And if you have never owned an older Dyson Animal, you probably won't even see any negatives with this product.
Are you shopping for your 2nd Dyson? Forget it. They have lowered their standards. This Dyson is smaller across the brush area; the bucket for debris is also smaller. It does not do well going from rug to floor and vice versa. You must change the direction of the push and the even lift the rug edge to get the small pieces. The entire weight of the Dyson is focused on the palm of your hand. The ergonomics of the machine makes it most awkward to push. Due to the fact that with this vacuum you must make so many passes to clean up small items it is actually extremely uncomfortable to vacuum your house. Yes, it has powerful suction but not like their past models! I had another Dyson Animal for 13 years and only decided to get this one because my daughter needed a vacuum for her new apartment. Huge Mistake! Don't get caught up by the big name/big price/it must be better idea-it is NOT!
Overall, I love my new Dyson, Animal Upright Ball Bagless Vacuum Cleaner, DC41. I've had an old vacuum that doesn't work for so long. After shampooing my carpets for twelve hours and seeing the amount of dog hair it picked up, I knew it was time for a new vacuum. A week later after a lot of research, I had my new Dyson. I used it the minute I got it assembled and was absolutely amazed at how much MORE dog hair it picked up considering I had just shampooed it a week earlier. I would have rated this product even higher except it does not have a light on it and the hand tools, primarily the hose is not as easy to use as others I've used in the past. I also learned the first time I had to empty the bagless canister to do so outside as the dust flies into the air. I've never had bagless before so I guess that's a trade off. I have adjusted to it and LOVE my Dyson DC41. It also saves me a lot of time vacuuming as I don't have to go over the same area over and over again.
This is my second Dyson vacuum. I bought the Animal when it first came out and I didn't think a stupid vacuum would make any difference to me what so ever. Big deal you push it around and hopefully it picks up last nights party, muddy feet, what ever. Vacuuming was a mundane task and me being the Cool stud that I am, I would never touch a vacuum. Until I bought that first Dyson Animal. My wife had to fight me for vacuuming rights! I loved that thing. Power, killer suction, easy to use attachments,no bag OMG the list goes on.
My daughter just moved into her new house (she has two children) . Now I couldn't let those kids run around on a dirty floor and it was the perfect excuse to go but the DC42. So I gave her my old Dyson. It still runs like the day I bought it, perfectly. But the new Animal is a machine made in Heaven as far as I am concerned. Yahoo, I am very impressed and I am the cool stud that didn't give squat about a house cleaning tool. Ha Ha Ha Look at me writing a comment LOL
The thing I like best about my Dyson DC41 Animal is it's weight. It's so light I can pick it up easily. It weighs less than one of my cats who's a real chunk who sheds a lot. Compared to other upright vacuums I've owned it feels like it's going to fall apart at any moment but since it hasn't and I've given it a thorough workout, I doubt that it will. I'm so used to those rigidly made monsters that weigh 30 pounds the DC41 feels like vacuuming with a transformer until you get used to the way the whole thing works. It certainly picks up cat hair like a charm. I have three cats and as spring is here they are all shedding like crazy and I can see just how much of their fur it's picking up. It's a little clumsy getting the hose out to use but once you get used to it, it's not so bad. I would recommend this to anyone. While it is very expensive, it comes with a 2 year complete warranty which you won't see in many other vacuums. It's also very quiet while running in comparison to other vacuums.
I vacuum the center. The wife dusts but had been taken in by those Dyson ads about balls and attachments. I wasn't. Our old top-rated vacuum was only 7 years old and had three lights - red, yellow, & green - to indicate carpet cleanness. I also wasn't sure that the see-through canister would remain see-through for long or be easy to dump. I was wrong. After vacuuming 2 feet in our clean-to-look-at dining room, I shut off the Dyson to marvel at the obvious accumulation of dirt. The canister was 1/3rd full with cat hair from our short hair and non-descript dirt from this one 11 x 11 room. The carpet looked a shade lighter. Two weeks later when I felt there just might be a need to vacuum again, the house still yielded 3 emptyings of dirt. The see-through canister is not only painless to empty but provides that visual validation that makes vacuuming worth while. You can't find a more powerful machine. Will there be anything left of our carpets after a year of Dyson? Will our cat be denuded?
Fist of all, I never write reviews for products; however, I have fallen in love with this vacuum and want to recommend it to everyone. For those of you skeptical about spending A LOT of money on a vacuum, let me reassure you... it is worth every single penny. I have 2 large inside dogs, and I have mostly hardwood floors and tile with a few rugs. It is really hard to find a vacuum cleaner that doesn't blow the dog hair around while you are trying to clean. If you get anywhere near the hair, dust, etc., it instantly sucks it up. I honestly thought my floor was clean before using this vacuum, but I was definitely mistaken. It sucks up every piece of dirt in the carpets and in every crevice in the floor. This machine is AMAZING on hard floors and carpet and I would recommend it to anyone interested in purchasing a vacuum. I am a first time Dyson owner and will never own another type of vacuum. The cord is super long, and the dust/dirt bin is very large so you won't have to empty as often. Maneuvering the ball was challenging at first (since I was familiar with the typical vacuum), but it made cleaning so much easier and faster when I became used to it. Also, it is a bit on the heavy side when carrying it around (you don't roll the vacuum when not in use), so it maybe difficult for some people. Overall, this is a well engineered piece of machinery and definitely worth the money. I can't believe I didn't buy one sooner!
I'm amazed at the power on this machine - it is extremely lightweight, yet it sucks up dirt that you would never know was there.
It took me a while to finally purchase this machine as I was afraid of being let down or ripped off by really good commercials, but let me tell you, it was DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY. If you think your floors are clean, please vacuum your floors, then borrow this machine from a friend or family member and try it. You will not believe how much it will still pull up, even after you just vacuumed.
One thing I absolutely love, besides the suction power, is the ability to go from one floor to the next without adjusting the height of the machine for different carpet types or bare floor. . . it is really easy to use this vacuum and I am so happy I bought it. I honestly can tell you, after going through a vacuum every year or two due to being ultimately unhappy with the machine, is that I will never by another vacuum that doesn't have the name Dyson on it :)
If you have ever wondered if you are getting your monies worth with a Dyson? You will. This is my 2nd Dyson. My first one was purchased seven years ago (and back then everyone thought I was crazy). It's moved across the country 3 times, picked up enough hair to construct at least 50 dogs, enough LEGOs to build a small town and still it kept on. I noticed over the last few weeks that it was making a funny sound, but otherwise seemed to work. But today it gave up the ghost. R.I.P Dyson 07.
Today I went out and purchased the new DC41 and love it! It is so light weight and the carpet looks brand new. It pulled out all sorts of indention marks in the carpet. I can't believe all the dirt that was sucked up. I just vacuumed yesterday! The ball feature is great. It takes a little getting used to, but you'll love how much closer you can get to the walls and under the furniture. One aspect that Dyson really excels at is how easy it is to take apart if there are any issues/clogs. This is money WELL SPENT!!
At first I thought, Wow what an expensive Vacuum Cleaner. I have to admit the price scared me. But after I read the reviews and also spoken to a couple of folks who purchased a Dyson Vacuum Cleaner. I thought let me try it. I have a puppy boxer at home and he sheds a lot of hair. My old Vacuum Cleaner just blew the hair all over the place. However I can not tell you enough on how much I LOVE MY NEW DYSON Vacuum Cleaner!!! This vacuum is very powerful. It picks up everything. It's worth every penny. It works great on my hardwoods floors and carpet. This is a definite buy. You won't regret it. I love this vacuum. Very easy to use. I strongly recommend.
This is my second Dyson. My other one lasted 9 years through 4 German Shepherds and Florida black sand! These machines ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When we first moved back to Michigan my sister loaned me her Bissell Bagless Upright Vacuum. Ummmm, It just doesn't get it.
This newer model of the Dyson Animal is even better and more nimble than my first one. Yep I am in Love again. It is awesome. These machines have some assembly required when they arrive. This one was even easier than my first machine. I don't care that I had to put them together the machine works better than ANY machine I have ever used. Sorry Kirby you are heavy and stinky and hard to clean. My Dyson comes apart easily so you can wash it so after a couple months of use you don't have that funky smell when you vacuum the house. I love love love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this vacuum - and I must add that I HATE vacuuming. Almost as much as I hate dusting. I live in the country with 3 big dogs & a husband who are in and out all day long. We leave windows open in nice weather. We get red clay dust, pollen, dog hair (I groom them myself in the house).
I opened the box, assembled this and started vacuuming using just the quick setup guide. By the time I had made a few passes down over the scatter rugs I had already filled the cannister. Who knew the dog's favorite little rug was pink and not beige?
It made the rugs look like new. It easy grabbed stuff from right up against the baseboards. The hose is stiff, but I was able to get cobwebs off ceilings and the dusting brush worked great. It actually vacuumed up the dust, rather than just collecting it in the bristles. So far I've used the crevice tool, the dusting brush, the multi-angled brush (great for ceiling fans) and the flexible floor brush (I bought most of the attachments).
When it stopped picking things up, I looked at the instructions, turned it over, removed the clip and took the vacuum attachment off. Sure enough -- it was clogged with dust, hair & leaves. I pulled it out and we were off and running again. I have had it 2 weeks now and have filled the cannister about 6 times already. I just take it outdoors and push the button to dump it into a shopping bag. Love that it is bagless and you don't have to touch anything.
For years I was told that the best thing for hardwood floors was a cannister vac. I think they were wrong -- I love the way this maneuvers. It gets under all but the lowest furniture (I use the hose/floor attachment for getting under dressers). I love that you can push a button to turn the beaters on & off as you hit scatter rugs. I love that it picks up dog kibble on one pass. I hope it lasts a long time, because this is the first vacuum I've ever loved.
No complaints, only praise for the product itself DC Animal 41. It moves well (if you ride a bike or motorcycle you can handle this), cleans amazingly close to the edge of a wall, the head is low and vacuums under the edge of furniture nicely, fantastic suction, not too heavy though not exactly light weight (smaller ones are). The container is easily emptied and mine came with all sorts of attachments.....with no explanation as to what they are for and there are no real instructions to this thing. A couple of diagrams on how to put it together, but no words, that's it. I always feel like I'm breaking it when I put it in position to vacuum. Instructional video sent by Dyson via their website didn't work (along with not allowing me to register the vacuum, saying the number was ID # was wrong on the box) , pictures didn't answer questions regarding all the attachments. It would be nice if they just included a manual since I've now had difficulty with their website twice.
This is my 5th dyson vacuum I have owned, and after using it for a few months, I decided to write a review, though I typically never do this, but I do read the reviews. I am glad I still kept my old dyson vacuum on top of buying this one. This one has some great features, it maneuvers around wonderfully and the filters are very easy to clean and its very sleek looking, however, it does not pick up the great at all to be honest. I have a long hair dog, only one in the home. I vacuum probably 2 to 3 times a day as I am pretty picky about hair and stuff, and with my Dyson DC 24 I only have to sweep over an area once, with this one, it is at least 2-3 times and then it sorta picks things up. I am not at all impressed with the suction power of this machine. My advice would be to buy an older animal dyson vacuum. This one also is a little more lightweight which is good. I have sworn by Dyson for a long time. My husband also says the same thing, it doesnt pick up too great at all. I am just trying to be honest.
First and foremost, I would like to say that I am very impressed by the power and the ergonomic design of the vacuum. It is very easy to maneuver and it seems as if the vacuum could operate by itself. The instructions so as to assemble the machine are very simple, short and clear. The vacuum is very easy to clean and it can be put away or storage within seconds. I confess that I am obsessed with cleaning the house and I vacuum the carpet five days a week! I have a cat and I must keep the house tidy as much as possible for my husband is allergic to cats. So far, I cannot think of negative aspects of the vacuum at all levels (design, function, effectiveness, etc.). I have used other brands and by far Dyson is the best brand in the market at this time. I purchased it in October 2013 and although it is expensive, I have no regrets at all. This is my personal opinion and I am accountable for what I am writing. I would recommend this brand to anyone looking to buy a vacuum without hesitation (no doubts in my mind).
I recently purchased a DC41. After years of using other brands, I was tired of vacuums that didn't work well on my hardwood floors and area rugs and were heavy and cumbersome to use. So I read a lot and talked with people who had a Dyson and finally bought one myself. I must say that this is the best vacuum that I have ever had. The suction is incredible. I have hardwood floors, tile floors and some area rugs and two large dogs who shed and a cat who sheds. The Dyson handles all of this with ease. I was stunned with how much it captured from the area rugs. I like the way it turns and moves easily across the floors. There is no leftover dusty smell after I use it. It empties like a dream. I find that this machine is much quieter than any previous vacuum that I owned. I have used the attachments and they work very well and are easy to use. The machine is light and easy for me to carry up my stairs. The cord is long enough for me to do a large area at one time. I highly recommend this product. You won't go wrong.
While not as light as I had anticipated, it's easy to use and quite maneuverable. I'm used to a canister machine, which means I'm used to dragging it behind me all over the house and quite often tipping it over while dragging it, clogging the filters. The Dyson was a new experience for me: nothing to drag and being able to get into tight spots with ease. It's the sports car of vacuums with unparalleled handling agility.
Of course, all of this would be irrelevant without superior suction. I vacuumed the house with the old canister first and then the Dyson. The transparent dust bin showed me how much I had missed and was a snap to empty and remount. The extendable hose and attachments make it easy to get into areas high up without having to contend with the weight of the entire machine also.
The only thing I would do differently, and I know it's difficult having to deal with more than one language, would be to give some written instructions for assembly assistance. With pictures only was a little confusing at times.
The first day we brought the vacuum home, I used it in every possible cleaning method in the house that I could think of... any cob webs, baseboards, under furniture (including the beds), cleaning the couch and love seat, my floors... Everything I could think to vacuum, I did!
I cannot complain about the vacuum. It did great!
If I had one critique, it would be that there aren't any attachments to allow you to get under your bed or couch... and the long hard plastic piece on the hose makes getting to something close to you a bit tricky. Otherwise, as many reviews I read before purchasing stated, until you get used to its design, it's really easy to take it from upright to leaned back... even when you don't intend to.
I'd still make the purchase again, it cleans everything I could imagine (and for a neat freak like me, I can imagine ALOT) and it cleans it very well. I would recommend the DC41 to anyone looking for a great all purpose vacuum cleaner.
I bought my Animal when I moved to the Anoka Sand Plain and bought a house that formally had cats. The Animal took care of tons of cat hair.
Then I bought a Cocker Spaniel that had a heavy coat and the Dyson was really put to the test. I groom my dog and always have lots of hair clipping that the Dyson can handle. 8 years latter I wondered if it was doing the job as well as when first purchased. I called the hot line and told them I was out of warranty. They told me that was not a problem and advised me how to check the filters. In 8 years I had never cleaned the B filter. It was really dirty. I figured since I was taking it apart I would apart completely disassemble the machine and give it a thorough cleaning. The Customer Service rep talked me through the procedure and gave me great hints. I am not a handy person but I was able to get my neglected machine in top working order. I have never had such a positive experience with a customer service program.

AMN Review: John Butcher – Bell Trove Spools
John Butcher's resume goes back to the mid-eighties, mostly dabbling in free improvisation with like-minded folks, such as Gino Robair, Phil Durrant, and Jon Russell. Bell Trove Spools, however, is just Butcher and his sax.
While not without melody, the ten selections on this recording dabble in percolations, drones, chirps, other bird-like noises, and a bit of minimally-restrained blowing. While in some hands this approach might result in a slapped-together feel, Butcher instead lets his sax tell a story. A weird story, but one with structure and continuity nonetheless. Perhaps the best moments come when he shows his Evan Parker influences. But rather than sounding derivative, Butcher takes Parker's multiphonics to new places.
Butcher earned his doctorate in theoretical physics 30 years ago, before leaving academia for music. Thus, it is not surprising that he brings intelligence, attention to detail, and innovation to his recordings.

Interview with Vijay Iyer
From Improvised Outside:
The first post of this new blog dedicated to improvised and avant-garde music is the interview I realized with the one and only Mr. Vijay Iyer. He needs no introduction any more, I'd just say that he's one of the most prominent musicians, pianists, composers and bandleaders of the generation born in the 1970s. The encounter took place in Paris on November 13th, 2012. The night before I had attended his first set at the Duc des Lombards club where he performed with his trio mostly pieces from Historicity (2009) and Accelerando (2012), along with some new material.

KMFDM, Paloma Faith to perform at Shank Hall
A pair of drastically different European acts—Paloma Faith and KMFDM—are coming to Shank Hall, the venue has announced.
London-based Faith, 27, once turned down an opportunity to play in Amy Winehouse's band, but has since established her own career structured around theatrical costuming and performances (she got her start in London's cabaret scene) and retro soul songs reminiscent of Winehouse and Adele's work. Her latest album, May's "Fall to Grace," featured production work from Nellee Hooper, who has worked with such big names as Madonna, Bjork and U2. »Read Full Article(1)

Three Milwaukee artists to compete in world's largest art competition
