Thanks for all the replies. Looks like my cigar budget is going to take a hit.

If you stopped getting ashes on the floor you wouldn't need a new vacuum

I have a purple pet model that I bought at a good price at Costco and it is a real sucker! Watch out for the dog it will bag him too. Only complaint is it fills up the cansiter too fast. Great Machine.

We have one in our home as well and it is by far the best vacuum that I have ever used. My dad ran a motel for 27 years and I have operated my fair share of floor suckers and this one is the best I've used. Only thing I complain about, the spinning brush attachment for the hose is a terrible fit it doesn't operate properly in my opinion. no solid connection. I have better luck using this attach. on my small shop vac with duct tape...YMMV

I purchased a refurbished Dyson with warranty for 2/3's of the price. It is the best for a sub $400 vacuum. However, the best vacuum hands down is a Kirby, but that will run you $1500-$2000. Yes, clean it out well every six months.

Another purple animal user here. Have had mine for quite awhile now. Still operates like it was brand new. As others have mentioned - once or twice a year depending on the pet hair amount - take it outside and hose it out real good. The whole thing will come apart pretty easy - tubes, hoses, the collector, etc etc. I run the water through all of them - let it dry and toss it back together.

Once the basement is finished on the remodel I will most likely buy another one, standard yellow, for upstairs and keep the purple one downstairs.
