Yes, we are still loving ours after 8 months so far.  I took apart the brush and cleaned it out and no more sound.  Would recommend this for anyone to get, especially at $200!

I go and refresh the page and now it's sold out.

Finally!  I scored a used Dyson DC-15 Ball from a local vacuum repair shop yesterday.  It's only been five years I've been wanting one.

We've got two dogs.

Down to just one dog now...but that Hoover Fusion I brought several years ago (after that 3-7-06 post) wasn't satisfactory for all that long.  Lots of broken parts and cobbing it together with spit and duct tape. 

As so many others before me, I was quite impressed by the job this vacuum did on its first pass through my main floor. 

Tony:

The things that broke on my Hoover Fusion:  The hinge at the bottom of the canister (that was probably the biggest inconvenience), the height adjustment, the small wheel assembly underneath, the attachment clips on the side and the locking lever which locked the vacuum into the upright position (that was pretty inconvenient, too).   These were all plastic parts that broke.

And we don't treat things too roughly at our house. 

The fact that the Dysons are mostly plastic bothers me a bit--given that experience with the Fusion.

Oh I wish, I wish, I wish, I had kept the Hoover upright that my wife and I were given as a wedding present 29 years ago.  That thing was a tank and I definitely should have invested more in it's upkeep.
