    I had a Morphy Richards Pet one, its was rubbish, i now have a panasonic MC-CG475 its 2500 watts, and I love it. Deals with cat hair from two cats with no problems.

    Not sure where they are selling them at the moment though because i got mine ages ago.
    Debt free since July 2013! Woo hoo! The bank actually laughed when I said I have come in to cancel my overdraft.

    Have you thought about getting your Dyson serviced?

    All the information is here at Dyson support.

    It costs £63.62 and Dyson will replace all broken parts (ie motor, brushbar, hepa filter) and parts that may be worn, all included in the price.

    Can highly recommend the service, and it is a lot cheaper than buying a new machine.

    I have had a few dysons and have found they are great when new but haven't been long lasting. I wouldnt buy another as I dont think they are worth the price. At the moment I have an upright vax which I got in a pack with a cylinder on a deal I saw on here a couple of years ago and its still going strong! I think it was only about £38 for the two so I have def had my moneys worth LOL I would def buy a Vax again and you often see offers on them.

    £180 but fab. Better than my old Hoover and Dyson.
