LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY!  It'll suck up my 125 pound dog if he were in the way. I have a Dyson which was put in the attic to retire or find a friend who wants it. It works great a little loud, but then again so are the people in my house! The only problem is the cord kinking but I've mastered that. I love this and would definitely get another one when this runs its course.
