We had a Dyson upright for donkeys years and it never let us down. It was brilliant on carpets,dogs hairs vanished like magic,but it was too strong for rugs and lifted them clean off the floor!! It wasn't as good for laminate either so we gave it to a friend and bought a smaller "pull along" Dyson which works brilliantly on the laminate and tiled floors. So another Dyson fan here. x
PS Jazz,you know I go to Dunstable every tuesday,you only have to ask if you want something picked up x
