My beloved yellow dyson 07 has a problem. DH was cleaning off the brush bar and discovered that the hose has started to detatch underneath. I'm going to call the 1-800 number for Dyson and see if I can get a replacement part, but I'm guessing not, as they no longer make this model (we've had it since 2004 and it was a certified refurbished model when we got it!) Since Black Friday sales are coming up, thought I'd look for a good deal. DH said the vacuum cleaner can be his Christmas gift as long as he never has to use it, LOL!

So, we have carpet and vinyl flooring and 3 cats that shed a lot. I've liked the Dyson, its always seemed to pick stuff up/have good suction. I liked the detachable hose to reach hard to get to places. I did not like that the base stuck up too high so that it won't go under all my cabinets. And when on the hard floor setting it had a hard time picking up single things like a piece of cat food or a cheerio. I'm totally fine with getting another Dyson, as this one has lasted us so long, unless there is something better out there in a reasonable price range. What do you recommend? And links to current or upcoming sales would be awesome!

I found a replacement part online and video of how to fix it, looks easy enough. Ordered the part, its supposed to be here by Wed., if I can't get that to work, then I will be looking for BF deals online, so still post links please!

I'm a fan of the Shark vacuums. I had an Oreck for 15 years and when it died I got the Shark 5 years ago. Love it. Just bought a second one with our bigger house to have one on each level.

DH looked at me like I was crazy for wanting a second vacuum but I am watching this post for this reason! We have the same yellow Dyson from 2006 and it has been a workhorse for us with 3 kids and 2 dogs; but hauling it up and down the stairs is getting old and it doesn't do that great on our main level floor which has barely any carpeting.

Do you find this does well on carpet? We have a whole house vacuum system which I detest.
