I own a Dysin and have for about 5 years. It is hands down the best
vacumn I have ever bought.

I have cats, and until last year a Shetland Sheep0 Dog, it is
fantastic with pet hair. The cannister simply empties into the trash
basket.

It adjussts for bare floors, or for carpets.

It has NEVER plugged up.

Have had all kinds of vacumns, including Kirby, Hoover, etc. This is
by far the best.
