[blparent] looking for very powerful vacuum any recommendations?

[Jolynn Page]

Hello 
  My husband and I purchased the Dyson Animal Vacuum last year and we love it.  It picks up all the hair my guide dog leaves around plus much more.  We vacuumed our house with our shop vac when we first bought the Dyson and then used the Dyson and you wouldn't believe what it picked up after using the shop vac on our carpets first.  I love my Dyson and would recommend it to others but it does have a price tag of around 400 on Amazon.com
