    OK - I'm making my list for the vacuum tweak.

    So far I need to remove the voltage regulator, upgrade the stock power cord, and replace the caps. What about a heavy-duty after market hose, and a high performance belt?

    Definitely upgrade the belt to reduce slippage during high torque. Those that don't know to do this, don't know what they're missing.

    Wait until you try the Rainbow cleaning system. It will put them all to shame. It has a water bowl in it that traps the dust in the water and actually removes it from your home.
    For very allergenic kids/adults, those Rainbow vac's are VERY effective. We had one and the most disgusting part about them is cleaning the massive wet hairballs out of the water........absolutely a disgusting vacuum to empty......but effective for allergies.

    HERE is the G4 on Ebay, but you can search for some of the other models G5, G6, Ultimate, and another one I think.

    We have an Oreck that we use for quick jobbies. I HATE that thing. I don't think it sucks that well, and it's LOUD. I hate having to use it.

    We also have a Rainbow that we normally use. Man, that thing is sweet! Tons of 'suckage', and it's incredible what it gets up. We cleaned the den floor with it the first time we got it and then looked at the water....:eek::eek::eek: TONS of junk in there. We vacuumed all our rooms, like, three times with that thing to get what our old Electrulux had been leaving. But shoot, man...those things are expensive. I'm not 100% sure...but I think we paid close to 2 grand for it?!?! :eek:

    We love our Dyson. Employee incentive price made it even better.

    Why don't you actually do some research before you jump up and down like that over something you obviously don't know anything about.

    A quick google search: http://www.electrolux.com/

    A fairly well respected manufacturer of vacuum cleaners...and apparently a few other things...

    sounded like something out of the 50's actually, and haven't ever seen one.

    My Dyson is the best Vacuum I've owned. Compared to my old Hoover, it's like driving a BMW versus a Chevy Chevette. Very easy to push and easy to empty. Good quality vacuum cleaning sound as well.

    I picked up a Dyson DC14 Animal this afternoon. Bed Bath and Beyond had them on sale for 10% off, plus, I had a 20% off coupon, so total savings off MSRP was 30%. Sweet.

    It is very easy to push and has moderate noise level. My sound level meter read 84 dB with the meter right next to the vacuum. Much more quiet than my old Eureka, which registered 92 dB and was heavier and more difficult to push. I had to wear ear plugs with the Eureka.

    The best thing about it is that it pulls up 3X as much dirt and dust as my old vac.
