Dyson DC14 Animal Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

I have owned various different brands of vacuum over the years and this is the best by far , With 2 dogs and 3 children this vacuum has its work cut out . Would reccomend the Dyson DC14 Animal Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

Heard all about James Dyson and his invention. Had not bought one previously because Dyson had moved production out of the UK, the production costs have been substantially reduced but the prices are still sky high. As there is a six month period between washing the filters and it does not need bags I thought it would be a good buy for rented property on a six month AST. It was bought as just having been serviced and cleaned. The roller for carpets did not spin and I had to take the DC14 to a local shop for repair. (the idea of returning it to the vendor together with the cost and inconvenience of packing and postage, did not appeal). Nominal cost of £15 for repair and a PROPER clean. The tenant of the flat says it is wonderful. Time will tell.
