My sister was kind enough to let me borrow her Dyson vacuum this weekend…  a vacuum that has always interested me from afar but I’ve opted to not get one because of the high price tag and not knowing a single person whose ever owned one.

That all changed recently when my sister took the plunge and invested into a Dyson Canister Vacuum called “Animal”.   She calls it “dee-dee” and much to my chagrin it has nothing to do with the Ramone.

But I digress…  the vacuum did a bang up job of thoroughly cleaning carpets that were pretty clean to begin with.  I was a little surprised by how much stuff it actually picked up in high traffic areas I address weekly with a hand-me-down dirt devil.

In short, I’ve never used a vacuum with such visible results.  Highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t ever had the pleasure of actually using one.
