Hmm, don't know if this should go in General Discussions or Off Topic, so here it is.
To celebrate my contract going unconditional today, I went out and spent more money (YAY! Oh wait, it should be the other way around, I should be trying to save more money...) Anyway, I went out, I ooh'ed and I aaah'ed, read consumerreview.com and choice.com.au, talked to more people, ooh'ed and aaah'ed some more, read epinions.com and several other websites, and bit the bullet and bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner.
Not having done what was planned and won a lottery, I settled for the base model Dyson, the DC05
It's basically the "baby" of the Dyson range, with only the Dual Cyclone instead of the hypercool Radix Cyclone, and without the HEPA filter. I did get a bonus Turbobruch (valued at $80) for free, and extended the warranty to 6 years - all for still less than RRP which I was rather happy with. 12 months interest free too (and I think I'm going to need it!!!)
So yes, got home, plugged it in and ran around my room for about 5 minutes, and BY GOLLY it picked up a lot of stuff. Now my room feels squeeky clean (well, where I went over with the vacuum anyway). The Dyson is INCREDIBLE! Even when the canister was almost full, it was still sucking away like a young Catholic boy!
Anyways... I Love My Dyson... for now :D
