Dyson DC41 Animal Upright Cleaner

My mother got one of these from QVC and ended up returning it.  Her main objection was that it was too heavy and not as manueverable as they had made it look on TV.

Pro: The bagless feature is very nice.  Pushing a button opens the bottom of the cylinder dumpint dirt into the trash can.
Con: the space between the cylinders that holds the dirt isn't that large so needs frequent emptying.  When the dirt packs too tightly, the inner cylinder must be removed.

Pro: wand is ready to use with just a push of a button
Con: wand can be too long to maneuver and contracting hose catches and pulls hair off of my arm

Pro: foot switch not needed to get vacuum out of vertical, just pull on handle
Con: vacuum sometimes falls over right onto my foot

Pro: comes with animal hair attachment (moving brush)
Con: no car attachment (hard square opening)
