Obviously YMMV. I am very happy with my Dyson DC24 Animal. Just myself and a small dog that sheds a bit in an apartment. Works great for me, never an issue with it and honestly, it sucks. That is a good thing. Managed to get mine on sale so it was a good deal for me. Unfortunate that you haven't had as good of an experience with yours.
