Another Dyson fan here
We've got the Animal Stowaway version and I love it. It's amazing just how much cat hair it can pick up off the carpet in the lounge (the only room now left with carpet in the house) & the stairs.
We've had it a good few years now (~5) and although we did have a Dyson before this one, it's my own fault we had to replace it - I dropped it down the stairs & it landed on the hard tiled hallway floor, where many hinges & other much needed bits broke/cracked/fell off...
