amanda said:the problem is that i've never seen a small, lightweight vaccuum that actually DID anything - they're usually a waste of money, unfortunately. Oreck's are ok, but i've seen a Dyson do a room immediately after an Oreck and pick up soooooo much extra stuff that the Oreck missed. Dyson's are about 20 lbs, which makes them as light or lighter as many of the vacs in the same price range, even though they're still a tad heavy. the DC15 Balls are a pound or two lighter.
amanda said:just so you know, this DC15 is probably just the regular DC15, not the DC15 animal (the difference is that the regular one only comes with basic attachments and the animal comes with ones that are good for pet hair, etc.)
LadyFran said:I don't think so. I have the DC14 animal with all of the attachments and I got mine at Kohl's. I have two dogs and it works wonderfully. It was personal preference for us; my DH and I both preferred the model without the ball.

Has anyone purchased the Dyson Slim? Is it really that much lighter than the others?
Thanks Amanda for your feedback on it....I was talking with my friend about my Dyson Animal and she doesn't have a kitty like I do so I think the Slim would work for her. I like my Animal but it's pretty heavy - I think the Slim would work just as well?
