We got our Dyson Animal for 50% off!!!
HAHA
Well - I have to be honest and tell you the whole story.
Before my wife and I got married she ask me what she and her sister should buy their Mom for Christmas one year - as she is the type that has everything - needs nothing - and requires a little outside the box thinking on gifts. (Although she REALLY appreciates anything you give her - after all - do any of us really NEED anything these day?!?!??!)
But anyway - I had worked at Sears around when Dyson first hit the market in the US several years ago - and I KNEW that they were very high quality - and filtered very well. So, knowing that my Mother-In-Law has many pets and loves them all dearly, I figured she could used a great vacuum that would be good on steps, hardwood floors, tile, upholstery etc etc - so I said - BUY HER A DYSON! Since it was the two of them going together - they did it.
That Fall we got married - and went to visit my wife's family one weekend and my DMIL was complaining that the vacuum was too complicated and it just frustrated her - and told my DW - if you want it you can have it - I can't use it for the life of me!
So - she gave us the vacuum!

A DYSON!
DSIL was still in college at the time and had no need of it - and agreed that it should be put to use!
I don't mind vacuuming at all with the Dyson!

DW loves that!
But anyway - sorry for the long story - just thought it was funny!
